Why do Charles and Cordelia supply Sebastian with alcohol in Brideshead Revisited?

Charles feels that Sebastian's free will has been taken away. As in The Bible, God gave people free will so that they could have the choice to sin or not to sin, Lady Marchmaine does not offer Sebastian the choice of refraining from drinking. Even though it looks like they have made the wrong decision by letting him drink, they know that he would rather leave his family and friends, which he does anyway later on, than be without booze. Charles feels it would better for him to drink alcohol around people he knows rather than away in some strange place where his life could be in danger. Cordelia's motives are less obvious but I presume that she also thinks that her brother would be better getting drunk in the safety of Brideshead rather than in some dingy bar or side alley.

What are some important homosocial bonds in the brideshead revisited?
In Evelyn Waugh's 'Brideshead Revisited,' there was a strong homosocial bond between Charles and Sebastian. At Oxford and other resident schools of the time that consisted of a single sex student body, homosexual relationships were common. However, once school was done, it was expected that the boys would put aside these experiences, and assume a traditional heterosexual lifestyle. However, while Charles followed this rule, Sebastian, who was actually gay, didn't and felt betrayed and abandoned by Charles.
