Drinking at a young age

[luce]

im just a social drinker, i wouldnt really drink by myself.

yeah but that wasn't the question though was it?

Well it's simple really if it's above the recommended male intake for an adult then it's harmful in the long run. Now because you're not an adult it doesn't take a genius to work out it isn't doing you any favors.

In my opinion this thread would have been better in the teen life section

Umm no... The teen section is for problems with teen life, this is a question about the health effects of alcohol on younger bodies.

******* report it then or give advice :S i owe u -rep for being annoying

drink will harm anyone of any age especially if it's binging, you'll be worse off when you're under 18 because your liver isn't fully formed and can't recover easily or whatever, it's kinda common sense you will do some damage at the time but probably not long term, 5 bottles of smirn off ice would do naff all to me in terms of hangover & actually getting intoxicated, even if i drank it every weekend and not just 3/10 weekends so you're probably "safe"
eating (i normally have something light like pasta not a full meal beforehand then bread afterwards) and drinking water before & after (or during aswell if you don't want to get drunk and decrease chances of hangover) will soak up most of it before it stays there too long, having a hangover is coz of the poison n all that in the alcohol so if you have one you've harmed yourself but long term effects probably not

but looooooooooooooooool at being "wasted" on 5 bottles, i doubt that'd happen lol

I'M NOT A DOCTOR

To the bit in bold, a hangover is because of your brain being dehydrated, it kind of shrinks a bit and the pain is caused from it pulling away from the skull (the headache).

5 smirnoff ices, can't see that doing much harm. it's like bloody lemonade.

Yeh thats why I love it, easy to drink and doesn't smell. No matter how weak it tastes it still won't hide the fact that it contains around 5.5% alcohol.

5 units will do basically nothing, though... WHat happends afterwards. You could end up next to some truckie? Lmao.. Nah 5 will do basically nothing, maybe make you tipsie

I wasn't asking about how drunk it would make me. I clearly stated that I would only drink 5ish to get me tipsy (so I can socialise better).
