Obviously you need to have a conversation leading to an understanding about alcohol, lying and so on. As a parent you also have a liability knowing he's got a stash of beer.
What we here on this forum don't know is the personality of your son. When it comes to drugs, alcohol, everyone is different, you have to get inside his head a little. Some people fall into the trap, just want to use alcohol as an intoxicant frequently, others maybe its being a weekend warrior party type etc. In that situation if you have a concern or just don't know, you have to take action and make sure he's not going to get involved with it that way.
On the other hand, if he's say like me, I learned all about these things, on my owne, though a small quantity of beer or wine was acceptable when I was a kid, we found ways to get alcohol and get "snockered" a few times early on in life. I found really don't like being intoxicated, like at his age, also found I had a pretty good tolerance if I did have a few, meaning you'd have to slug a keg through me to have some serious effect. Problem is everyone is different. By the time I was his age, I could get beer, and kept some in the refrigerator, just like I do now, so when the work is done, the day is done and I want a cold one with dinner or to relax, I can. Parents, knew I was not an excessive consumer of alcohol, did not like distilled, hard liquor, just a cold beer when appropriate, they knew and trusted that in me, nothing was ever said about a six pack of a quality or tasty beer in the fridge, where I got it, it just was never a problem, same way it is today, at 45, thats just me, some are like me, many are not, and the latter would highly concern me, I'd be all over him, with a plan to deal with it if you have the remotest concern about abuse.
