Sometimes, the more parents say no, the more kids want and when they get, they can very easily go overboard.
During my childhood, my parents had all of their alcohol where I could very easy get at it and drink if I wanted. They never said no you cannot in such a way that made me want to have it. I grew up in a household that didn't drink much. So as a consequence, when I turned 18 and legally able to drink alcohol, I didn't do anything silly and go get drunk. I didn't drink because I could. I grew up around it and to me, it was nothing special.
Again, it's about trust. My sister and I were trusted. Parents that have to censor books like that do not trust their children. It's that simple.
