never really got the point. like why not just wait til you dont have to look over your shoulder paranoid? Soon as i hit 21 i started drinking enough to make up for all the times i turned down a drink from my "cool" kid friends.
I actually think this a bigger problem than teenagers drinking a beer or 2. Binge drinking is so much more dangerous than underage drinking.
I'm not advocating drinking illegally. Follow whatever laws your country has on alcohol. That being said, I think teaching teenagers that it's okay to have a drink, while making being plastered seem like a bad time(which shouldn't be THAT hard, it actually isn't fun to be drunk), is a good idea. I think that teenagers who are allowed to drink some and uts not a big deal never really feel the need to drink rebelliously. And it's often rebellious teen drinking which is binge drinking.
Yeah I never got that either, just wait until you're 18 (or 21 if you're American). Unless you have dickhead friends no body cares if you drink or not.
