Just go over safety considerations OP. There will be thousands of others his age there too. Yes they will drink but they need to drink responsibly. They can finish their night drinking at the hostel so they are already home safe. Some hostels are party hostels, some aren’t. And to never leave a friend alone who has been drinking even if he says he is fine.
I disagree with this. Always carry cash - it doesn’t need to be a lot but enough to take a taxi in an emergency or pay for a meal if a card doesn’t work or if wallet gets stolen. Put a 100$ or euros in wallet and another in a different location to use for emergencies or if someone doesn’t accept cash.

This made me laugh. Why would an older teen boy need a facecloth? But talking about cloths, I’ve been traveling everywhere with a Turkish towel, and it’s been great. Use it on the the beach as beach towel, but also can be used as regular towel, or just a cover if it’s chilly.
Meant wash cloth.
Teenage boys don’t wash their faces?
Usually there aren’t any in European accommodations.

This post is terrifying me. Safety meaning armed robbery?
They aren't a particularly irresponsible bunch but they are still 18 year old boys and I assume they'll be drinking.
