The authority said that Walpurgis Night is a common occasion for alcohol initiation among young people. It emphasized that parental guidance is crucial in shaping teenagers' decisions about alcohol during this period.
The authority stated that teenagers are more likely to listen to adults than is commonly assumed by parents. However, the statements leave unclear the specific age group, whether alcohol debut means first sip or first intoxication, the region of applicability, and whether any supporting data exists.
