Underage Drinking.

[la-ur-en]

Okay, truthfully, how many people here drink even although they are under 18 years of age?

If you do.. stop now. There are so many things that can become of drinking.
Like...
1. Being Infertile.
2. Wrinkly skin
3. Heart/kidney disease.
4. Heart attack
5. Brain damage
6. Loss of age
7. More chances of catching STI or other diseases.

Also, if you didn't already know, every bottle of say smirn-off-ice kills 2 brain cells so if you drink alot you could be killing millions of brain cell a month.

6. Loss of age

i never knew it worked like an anti aging prossess.

plus it still has same effects when u are over 18 as well.

I personly dont like the taste of alchaol so no problem athogh i know tones of people who do drink "/

[Jacko2kn3]

Right, lets take this one by one

1. Being Infertile.

A very small risk, I assume. Seeing how many people get pregnant and how many people drink.

2. Wrinkly skin

Happens anyway, and I'm not too worried about wrinkles

3. Heart/kidney disease.

Can't argue with this one, but obviously if you drink excessively it'll be greater. ie. George Best

4. Heart attack

See above

5. Brain damage

See above above

6. Loss of age

Oh no, I drink and I get younger. To me that isn't a bad thing

7. More chances of catching STI or other diseases.

You get STI's from having...

[Edit] Stupid filter [/Edit]

intercourse, let no one ever have intercourse again then

Also, if you didn't already know, every bottle of say smirn-off-ice kills 2 brain cells so if you drink alot you could be killing millions of brain cell a month.

You would need to drink 500,000 bottles of Smirnoff a month. That's approximately 16,666 bottles a DAY. I think not.

As for me I drink, on occasion, but I wouldn't call it binge drinking.

Perhaps on a friday someone can sneak a few cans of Carling or whatever out, yeah I'll have one. I won't get mortal, but you know, livens the night up And I won't do what SOME other people do which is get drunk out of their heads and cause havoc.

[Corey777]

65% of teenagers report to a survey that they have been drunk in the past month.

48% of 10 year olds say that they have had alcohol in the past month.

I don't think it is an issue if you aren't an alcoholic. Drinking on weekends is very common with everyone, and I don't think it is harming you to the extent that you do.

Anyways,
I drink on weekends, but very rarely weekdays. I try to avoid feeling horrible in the morning before school =\

Oh well, it is impossible to stop underage drinking anyways as many kids/teenagers just drink in there own home.

Yeah... I Dont Tho

[la-ur-en]

Okay, first of all, i meant loss of age as in you wont live for as long.
And i meant to write 20 brain cells sorry.
Anyway, it isn't the same for 18 year olds, as there body can handle it, obviously if they get drunk every night it will affect them, but not if it is every occasion or whatever.
And when i said you have more chance of having an STI, it means that when you are drunk, you do stupid things... see where i'm going? Nearly 70% of teenagers who drink get pregnant or "sleep" with others usually do this when they are drunk.

[Dirgeofcerberus]

Ok, so even if it is 20 brain cells you kill off per bottle, it would still take 50,000 bottles a month which is approx 1,666 bottles per day, so it is clearly impossible to kill off a million brain cells per month.

[la-ur-en]

Well.. sorry, i was just giving an example... Sheesh.

whats wrong with the odd beer? when it tastes nice? you could argue that coke hurts your teeth! but its not gona kill you!

[la-ur-en]

I don't mean the odd beer, but young people these days drink every weekend (as in a full bottle of vodka)i mean come on, most 18 year olds dont drink that much every weekend. People think they are 'rebels' if they drink young, but once you become older it seems childish unless it is a special occasion, and its not grown up, adults don't drink every weekend (well most). If people under 18 decide to drink once every few weeks or whatever, then i guess i can't argue, but people drinking every weekend is just over the top and very unhealthy, i don't think half of these people realise what damage they are doing to themselves.
