PhilosophicalkiD Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 I personally think that drinking will be done by kids, whether adults like it or not. I'm 17 and i've seen plenty of kids ranging from ages 13-20 get alcohol easily, with almost no repercussions. I've gone to quite a few parties and there's always been no trouble in terms of getting alcohol. Besides, if an 18 year old can be drafted, i don't see why he can't have a beer or twenty. There are plenty of irresponsible 21 year olds who are causing just as much of a problem as underage drinkers do.
DiamondZ Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 I just see the same point in drinking as I do in smoking, it kills you one way or another. Since I am 14 i don't really know but i don't really wanna find out.
hrtbrk Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Everything kills you in one way or another, even exercising in excessive amounts can lead to a heart attack.
DiamondZ Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Yeah but Ro-, like I said, if it's good for you or not it has other ways of getting you in danger.
Ro- Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 How? Having a glass of wine every once in a while puts you in no danger.
Shane for Wax Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 A glass of red wine can be helpful for your heart. There's a book somewhere that goes something like 'anything can kill you'. I can't find the proper name right now, but it's really good but makes you scared to do anything, even get up in the morning.
Kikolii Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 I think the whole reason why many teens are interested in the whole drinking thing is because we've made a huge deal about it. I mean, we have restrictions for such an older age and yeah. Teens get curious and probably don't know when enough is actually enough, which occurs to the whole drunkness. I heard in other countries, they see us Americans oddly because a lot get to that drunkage stage. I don't remember where I heard that but yeah. This is so true. I was raised in a family that makes their own beer and wine and ever since I was 11 or so I had wine with Christmas dinner. I grew up with the image of alcohol being a way for everyone to loosen up (not get totally wasted) and have fun together. Ever since high school I've thought that it's stupid for people to go to parties and make idiots of themselves while drinking and then be called "cool". My mantra is everything in moderation.
