It's not the fault of abstinence, it's the fault of education that only covers one base. Giving advice that you know many won't take is fine if all you care about is making sure they know it's their fault when they don't, but I wouldn't consider it to be particularly good education except in the figurative "school of hard knocks" way, by which time it's too late.
