I am not familiar with how things are in Australia, I only know how things are in the US. It's hard for me to believe that underage drinking is legal there, even with an adult, but I'll take your word for it. In any case, a 15 yo is still learning how to deal with life and his emotions. Using any artificial means, whether it be booze or drugs, to try to cope or open up is not a good idea. It only delays or warps how someone learns to deal with things in the real world. There is a reason underage drinking is illegal. Even adults who try to use booze in the manner you describe finds it doesn't work and makes things worse. You say only his mother has a problem with his drinking. In the US, there would also be several people with badges that have a problem with it too. But having his mom against it is still not something you can brush off. A boy's mother can make more trouble for you than you can possibly imagine. Not to mention that driving a wedge between a boy and his mother is not a good thing. And of course there is also the likelyhood that if he is using booze at this young an age to cope and "have fun," he is well on his way to becoming a full fledged alcoholic.

Something else no one seems to be addressing is that although you are not that far apart in years, you 2 are still eons apart in emotional developement. Age difference means less as people get older, but he's barely out of puberty for petes sake. I've been focusing on the harm you yourself face because you are the one posting, but I see a whole lot of potential harm for him too.

I am caught between progressing with my YF and being happy (even only temporarily), or breaking away and accepting that it is wrong.
And possibly never ever having the same opportunities for the rest of my life.

Most younger people think that if they let a certain opportunity for happiness pass that there will never be such an opportunity again. As someone a good deal older than you, let me asure you this is not true. Also, I really don't think there is happiness down the road you are traveling no matter how much it may look like it from your perspective at the moment.

According to society it is wrong to fall in love with boys.
But does it stop anyone here?

No. I've fallen in love with a few boys over the years. But for both our sakes I kept it platonic. Sure I wanted more. But I've never regretted not letting it go in that direction. And no, I'm not perfect. There were a couple boys I fell in love with that I did the "sex play" stuff with. Nothing illegal, nothing that couldn't be described as simple cuddling. But it was sexual to both of us. And although they were willing participants, I DID regret that we took it in that direction because it changed our relationship. The relationships with boys with whom I kept it 100% plataonic were much more fulfilling and much more God blessed.

What makes us discard respect for the law and morals, and follow what we feel?

Lust and rebellion against God. We think that WE know what's best for us. But take it from someone who has gone his own way far too many times, we don't. I can't think of a single time where I knew what God wanted me to do but did my own thing, that I didn't regret it later.

He is a young confused teenager, struggling to accept who he may be.
And I am the only one there for him, who understands this.

Don't fall into the "I'm the only one who can help" trap. You aren't. God has a whole army of angels and loyal human followers that He can call on. Unless, of course, you think this boy's problems are too big for God?

The biggest problem I see in all your posts is that you are leaving God completely out of the equation. If you don't want God involved, why are you posting here and not on Boychat? Even though there are those who would characterize your relationship as "sweet" and say things like "awww, isn't that cute," the Bible is pretty clear that what you are doing is wrong. If you really need the particular scripture refereces, say so and I can look them up for you. But I'm running short on time and need to wrap this up.

It's wrong allow an underage teen to drink, but if it helps him share his feelings and feel better?

It's still wrong.

It's illegal for us to have a relationship; but what can stop love?

Prison.
