no i have never been drunk

false.

Ture or false: I plan on waiting until legal drinking age to have my first alcoholic beverage. True because I don't ever want to break the law or get aressted.

1. I do feel alcohol affects your judgement becasue I have seen many people under the influence, and at times what they have done is not a pretty site.
2. No, I have never been drunk, I am a senior in high school and I plan on keeping it that way.
3.It depends, Im going to college and there will be lots of parties with alcohol there, I know I will be able to control myself, but there will possibly be the one time where I don't. So I am going to make every effort I can to wait, but I have no garuntees.

Drinking definitely effects your judgement. To start, you're already excited because you're drinking alchohol, I mean that's "cool" so you get excited. Then with the combonation of that and the effects of the alchohol, you won't be able to think like you normally do and should, so you won't be able to make good judgement. It doesn't take very much of the drink either, because our bodies are so young. Do I plan on waiting until legal drinking age to have my frist alchoholic beverage? Yes. Besides having some sips of beer or wine on New Years and special occasions, I plan on waiting. The consequences could be really serious...
Anyways. I love Taylor Swift and Jason Mraz!

Kristine_Norway on January 7, 2010 3:49 PM

1. I definitly think that drinking affect my judgement. I don't think I would be able to think clear. Some of my friends get drunk often, like on NYE.
2. I will wait until I'm 21, so I know that I'm old enough to handle it.

OkLaHoMaChIcK on January 7, 2010 4:30 PM

I am never going to drink. I don't understand why people do. They try to look cool, but it isn't cool. I am happy with my life, so I will never have to take a drink to make me feel good or cool.

pajamapantsgirl96 on January 7, 2010 4:55 PM

Teen drinking is soo not cool. I don't like it. Drinking can ruin your life.

taylorrox1234 on January 7, 2010 5:32 PM

Yes because that's what it's supposed to do.
True because I don't wanna go to jail.

Drinking does totally affect my judgement because it says what kind of person you are and I think teen drinkers are sychos with no control who don't care about whats important in life. I will wait for the legal age and probbly much past it because I wanna be a healthy girl

gardenofeden on January 7, 2010 5:51 PM

I think drinking does affect a person's judgement because when people are drunk they do stupid things.
Fals I will probably drink before legal age but I will be responsible and not get drunk or drive

bieber lover 4115 on January 7, 2010 5:59 PM

1.Well of course it does. I would dum if I did.

2.True, I will wait to the legal age, why wouldn't I?

1. Drinking definately affects your judgement. You are totally unaware of what is going on around you. You do things that you would probably never do( if you were aware.). It's stupid to drink. I know alcoholics and there lives are destroyed forever. They have lost their family and the ones they love the most because of unawareness do to drinking.

2. Not only will I wait till my legal age, but i wont drink at all. PERIOD! Like i said drinking is stupid amd you can kill other people because of it.

Zebragirl33 on January 7, 2010 8:18 PM

i think drinking is bad! i hope to never drink at least not until my legal age!

jillbeiber on January 7, 2010 9:01 PM

drinking, does not help u in any way. it doesnt help u suceed in anything. it does not make u powerful either. very very very wrong for you, and ur luved ones
i think some ppl r pressured into doing it. their freinds will do it and theyll tag along, and it mite spread, very scary i think, i will never in a million years drink, im waayyyy to smart for that, i plan to suceed in life.

jillbeiber on January 7, 2010 9:01 PM

very very wrong i will never ever drink never even when im older!

twilight1680 on January 7, 2010 10:51 PM

1. Ya, it can because you're too messed up to know what's happening and you do things that you would never do.

2. True, I will wait because I'm too smart to ruin my life like that, and I'm going to live a healthy life.

AmandaLynne on January 7, 2010 11:30 PM

I'm only in seventh grade and our school is getting in major trouble for bringing drinks like Vodka to school. I don't know if it affects your judgement, but I know 12 is too young to drink! I definitley will wait till I'm legal mostly cause it's the right thing to do.

AmandaLynne on January 7, 2010 11:31 PM

Kookie LEIGH on January 8, 2010 2:53 PM

I don't really know if it does because well evryone does it at one point in their life but think about it. Do YOU think it will or wont change you. It think its True and Flse because you can never tell the future

True or false: I plan on waiting until legal drinking age to have my first alcoholic beverage. And WHY?
---true....i think its better to wait becuase its not good for your body no matter how old you are but when your older its better and plus when your under 18 your still growing!!!!

sierramist on January 8, 2010 3:54 PM

i have never had a drink and i plan on not having any when i am old enough it is just a waste of money just like cigarettes

true or false;true because i will never in my life drink alchohal

I think false to both cuz whats the point to go out to get drunk? lol that sounded funny!

ChlorineQueen97 on January 8, 2010 7:05 PM

I think that underage drinking is a big problem in teens and young adults.

Drama Queen 544 on January 8, 2010 8:30 PM

I AM 18 AND GUESS WAT???? I DRINK! I AM ALLOWED 2 ( NOT WHEN IM DRIVING THO... OF COURSE!)

Paramore4lyfe on January 8, 2010 8:55 PM

I have never had a drink yet, I'm still too young. But maybe when I'm 14 or 15 I might have a drink. I don't see it as a negative thing. I know teens who drink and are underage, And I don't think it is bad.

Justinbieberloveforever on January 8, 2010 9:02 PM

I do feel like drinking does affect judgment. I have never had a drink and never will. But think, if you drink or get drunk, how are you supposed to tell right from wrong?

I don't EVER want to drink, but if i did drink i would wait until i was of the age.
I don't look up to people who drink, smoke ect. So basically i don't look up to people who make bad choices and i think drinking is a bad choice period, not just if you're below the age.

Drinking definatly is bad. I think drinkinv does affetct someones judgement . I plan on waiting on drinking. Actually i do not plan on drinkinv at all!

well i think teen drinking is wrong. I am in an organization with my friends called coalition for youth and we are totally against underage drinking or getting into a car with someone who has been drinking. every other wednesday we wear shirts that say on the front "what's worse than drunk driving?" then on the back it says "letting it happen'' me and my friend just recently also had kids at our school sign a contract saying they wont drink! we got over a 100 people to sign! now we are trying to get a grant of money from any sponsor to help out the community and do more to stop underage drinking!

- Do you feel like drinking affects your judgment? How?
yes. you react slower then you ussually do.


- True or false: I plan on waiting until legal drinking age to have my first alcoholic beverage. And WHY?
true. ill be more mature then.

shannen12696 on January 9, 2010 10:44 AM

i think u should wait until ur old enough
me personally i wont ever drink i think its dangerous for you and youre body cant handle it
i fer acahol like lady gaga i dont wanna be a drunk person on the street and bad things happen ! no way
i wont wait until im old enough cuz i wont do it

Wait till old anough ppl

i think you should wait until your old enough however teens seem to think their cool when they're drinking underage but in reality their just damaging themselves

People drink because it helps them feel better at times and some people drink because they think its cool. Well guess what its not.I definetly think u should be a legal age b4 u drink so u dont get in trouble by the police or someone(dont make a fake ID) but people should just not drink.

Peeps drink bbecause they think its cool.wWell guess what...its not cool.Drinking hurts u and u should definetly be at legal age when u drink so u dont get in trouble by the police or someone but just dont drink.

Katelyn1234 on January 9, 2010 9:37 PM

Yeah i feel that it definitley affects people!!!!!!! :(
Whenever people have a drink it affects them by making them all crazy and stuff like that! Especially on big events! And it's not healthy for them either

At All!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still have 11 years untill i turn 21. I don't understand why people drink? Its a beverage, but I don't see why people need alcoholic drinks! Some people mess their lives up by driking! I think it's ok for those old enough to drink, only a few though! I never want to be an alcoholic, every kids says that though. But when my time comes and I'm old enough to drink, I'm gonna try to control my self!

Maybe when im much older. 6 years to go, to be 21. But that doesn't mean im going to start drinking right away. Stay safe and think smart.

i would wait for the leagal age for drinking or after because i took D.A.R.E in school it stands for'' drug awareness resistence education '' it shows you how alcohol will affect you n your family and friends and most people who drink wil either be injured or killed in a car crash or just walking around

abby bieber10 on January 10, 2010 6:34 PM

Well, i don't know when i will drink.I really hope that i will wait till I am atleast 17 but drinking and driving....no not an option ever!!!

age11 armuchee,Ga

babychick425 on January 10, 2010 6:44 PM

i think teen drinking is wrong. if the age limit is 21 it's 21 for a reason

missawesomness_02 on January 10, 2010 8:03 PM

TEEN DRINKING IS WRONG. Why would you even want to? There are so many risks and you're just hurting yourself the more you do it.

xjellybeanx on January 11, 2010 4:44 PM

I won't ever drink,its too many risks to take for me.

amandalj18 on January 11, 2010 6:09 PM

im gonna wait untill the legal drinking age because of drunk driving. think about it- when your drunk your gonna do some stupid stuff- expessially wahen your young. if i killed someone from crashing in to them, i would never be the same. another thing is i dont wanna go to jail.... ever

kallie.taylers hot on January 11, 2010 6:33 PM

jeese!!!!why wood teens be so stupid to drink alchohol?!?!at least they arnt being like Kristin Stewert and smoking.She sucks for doing that!!!

AlexKateEvans on January 12, 2010 5:15 PM

I think teen drinking is a serious issue, because some teens dont think before they drink. My parents have always allowed me and my brother to drink alcahol because they dont want us to grow up and be alcaholics. Now im not saying my parents dont care if i drink or let me get drunk but yes, if there is a special ocasion or a family gathering they alow me and my 16 year old brother to have a beer or a glass of wine. I think if more parents alowed their kids to do the same we would see less teen dinking or even less alcaholics in the future. Drinking is not good for you, so dont do it.

lemadena1999 on January 12, 2010 6:23 PM

I thinkteens shouldnt drink until therea legal age,even more so if they have a younger brother or sister,since younger siblings look up to the older children,they might think its o.k. to drink when its not.Plus you could get into legal trouble. yYou could get arested and so could you parents.

mackielovespink on January 12, 2010 8:35 PM

i havee heard too much peoplee say to me i shouldn't drinkk.... so i pretty much have got that crammed in my headd!

madworld8991 on January 13, 2010 3:30 PM

i am nvr evr drinking achlohal maybe on special ocacions(after im th legal age 9 yrs) but nvr gunna smoke do drugs and nvr evr achlohal its stupid!!!

skittlebuttonpi on January 13, 2010 11:51 PM

- True or false: I plan on waiting until legal drinking age to have my first alcoholic beverage. And WHY?
True, I think that drinking is very bad. When people drink they become someone other than themselves and they don't know what they are doing in some cases. I would rather have fun with friends without any influences than have fun by taking anything that changes the way I think.

Bieberbabe_1 on January 14, 2010 12:57 PM

I am going to wait until i am legally old enough to drink.

I think that teen drinking is horrible.You can get drunk and then end up in the hospital! You can even get a coma! So be careful

Well on my opinion if ur a least bout 17 then its ok as long as you know your limits and your responsible. But if your not then dont! because your could drink and drive which is the worst thing EVER!

i think it does effect a persons judgement because when a person is drunk he or she will do anything even if it could risk your life and i will wait until its a legal but im not even planing on drinking ever

cutiepie600 on January 15, 2010 9:37 PM

i think it would afecct the teens minds,ya know.oh and i think the would be addicted to it when they first drink it!

cutiepie600 on January 15, 2010 9:39 PM

1.it would afecct their minds.
2.when they first drink it they would be addicted to it.

cutiepie600 on January 15, 2010 9:40 PM

1.it would afecct their minds.
2.when they first drink it they would be addicted to it.

I think drinking really affects i persons life and his loved ones and friends. Alot of scary things happen to people when they drink. and yes i think im going to wait til legal age to hve my first alcoholic drink

I plan on having my first alcoholic drink when I'm 21. Maybe never. I don't want to be the one, the day of graduation of high school get drunk and DIE. I wanna LIVE my life!

LoveeJustyneee on January 16, 2010 10:08 AM

Well it can change in ways the way people can think about you.....But i dont think they will judge you all the time.......Just if you are a teen i wouldnt drink until you were 21 and over.......Teen drinking is bad for you......... So dont kill your life let you life live!!!!!

avril.and.tay.swift.fan on January 16, 2010 8:11 PM

True or false: I plan on waiting until legal drinking age to have my first alcoholic beverage. And WHY?
I plan on never drinking alchoholic beverages, except champagne when it's New Years' or another important event. I mean, what's the good in drinking? If you feel depressed, don't turn to drugs and alchohol. Just talk to a therapist or a friend.

lovebuggy46511 on January 16, 2010 11:09 PM

If you are under 21 you should not drink AT ALL!!!! No not every one drinks to be cool some drink to impress other people like a boyfriend a best friend! I think that it is the most dumbest thing in the world to try to do that if you are under 21 even if you are old enought to drink dont do it just to be cool or impress some one!!!!!! EVER!!!!!!

Hey there. my husband let me know about your website a couple weeks ago, and I absolutely love it. I'll be back! Right on!

giggles_loves_pets on January 17, 2010 6:47 AM

yes,it does affect your judgement along with everyone else's.You can have one drink and go over to your bf or gf and tell them they look ugly.People have different reaction to alchoholic beverages.And other people might think it's cool and awsome,but people like me thinks that it is disgusting.And true,I do plan on waiting until i'm 21 to drink because it is illegal anyways,and at I probably won't drink at all,EVER!

huggsencisiss on January 17, 2010 10:35 AM

I don't know if drinking changes your judgement, because I try to stay smart and I will probably never drink... Beer to me smells realy nasty, so I don't plan on drinking it. Teens shoould noty drink because you can get really sick if you drink to much, and it's alligal so you could get arrested, even for just one drink...

huggsencisiss on January 17, 2010 10:41 AM

I don't know if drinking changes your judgment, because I make smart decisions and NEVER drink, and I don't hang out with people that do drink... Teen drinking is a very serious issue and many people die per day because of drunk driving. Not only is it very alligal, you could get very sick and possibly die if you over do it....

JBfan4evr27 on January 17, 2010 11:58 AM

True because im not going to jail.
If you drink then dont be suprised if some peoplethat were your friends look at you in a different way because when people drink people think most likely their actions will change into horrible behavior.

Dccutie_09 on January 17, 2010 4:44 PM

no u shouldn't drink before the legal age because when u drink under the age u could

Justinroxzmasoxz101 on January 18, 2010 6:35 PM

but ppl can really be hurt n i dont wanna c tht happen to them

Froggy_Tyanna on January 18, 2010 8:30 PM

drinking is bad and people should not do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it does affect your judgement because you think drinking is so grown up and so your like "now i gotta start thinking like a grown up". well you start drinking one after another then you start doing stupid stuff that you would normally never have the guts to do. also, your like" omg! this makes me feel so happy and relieved and amazing!" and ,again, you start drinking one after another and then the alcohol wears off and for some reason you start feeling bad, so you get this idea that drinking will always make you feel better. and you keep drinking and drinking and drinking and then you get addicted then youre an alcoholic. so yes, it does affect your judgement.
honestly i dont plan on waiting until the legal age limit to start drinking but i also dont plan on getting drunk or becoming an alcoholic. like, maybe i sneak a sip or two at my family's parties and special occasions, but other than that theres no reason to drink.

Alcohol does effect your judgment thats why people should stay home and do it.

i dont intend to wait on the legal drinking age. I really dont think anyone does. as long as it is what everyone else is doing.

juddy120794 on January 19, 2010 11:26 AM

True. Because ppl do stuff that they wouldnt have dont if they werent drunk, tipsy ect>
Fales.i aint waitin till im "of age" because i dont wanna wait that long.but i WONT get drunk or tipsy..ONE DRINK IS GOOD FOR BEIN MY AGE(IF THAT) :)♥

jdbluver123 on January 19, 2010 3:00 PM

1) yes i do think it effects ur judgement...u could be drinking an decided to get in a car but if u were sober u would think thats a bad idea.

2) neither..i willl never drink it messes with ur mind an makes u do stupid thing, drinking could actually get u kiled

minimonkey on January 20, 2010 4:33 PM

1) It does affect your judgement because when you have drank too much you don't really know what your doing, so you could do somethuing totally stupid and regret it in the future.
2) True because i don't feel like getting into trouble and since I'm 14 I plan on having a healthy life as long as I can :)

parodyofasmile on January 20, 2010 10:06 PM

1.) Of course it affects your judgment! Why do you think people drink? They want to escape from their problems and just not think for awhile. They often end up making some pretty stupid decisions, too.
2.) True! Actually, I plan on never drinking at all. I have nothing against people who drink, but it's a personal choice for me because I've seen firsthand how drinking can affect someone. My mother is an alcoholic and I was put in foster care for awhile because she didn't take care of me well. She went to rehab many times and went to many support groups before she finally gained control of her alcoholism. A lot of people don't realize how serious addiction can be, and how easily it can happen to anyone.

diabetes999 on January 22, 2010 4:28 PM

1) It definitely affects your judgment!! When you are drunk you don't know what you're doing!! This is why so many people drink and drive, and get in fights, and all that!! Because they are drunk!!
2) I don't think I will ever drink, but if I do, It would be after I'm 21 for sure. I've seen how drinking can affect someone and I don't want that. It's something very dangerous to drink because drunk people make bad decisions all the time. They don't know what they're doing, and you can get addicted really fast if you are drinking, and things can get really dangerous.

AlexisAnneBieber on January 22, 2010 5:41 PM

true because you might think its cool to drink but your wrong its not. dont drink just because your friends are. take care of yourself and dont do drugs.

AlexisAnneBieber on January 22, 2010 5:43 PM

true because you might think its cool to drink but its not. dont do it just because your friends are. take care of yourself

i_heart_taylor_lautner on January 23, 2010 1:24 PM

I will never ever drink! It's sooo not cool!

AnaFernanda on January 23, 2010 9:15 PM

- Do you feel like drinking affects your judgment? How?

No, in fact drinking actually makes you say the truth. Because you're so drunk and don't care, you just say straight answers.

- True or false: I plan on waiting until legal drinking age to have my first alcoholic beverage. And WHY?

FALSE. Well, don't get me wrong but i want to drink before 21.

i think no one should drink its bad for yuor health and your heart

lipglossy4 on January 25, 2010 5:24 PM

Teens shouldn't drink.................... nobody really should!!!!!!!!!!!!! But if you do think about drinking, you should wait until the appropiate age!!!!!!!!!! If your friends are drinking, don't drink. If they try to persuade you to drink, don't do it. If they were your real friends they wouldn't be trying to make you do things that are bad for you. think about it, drinking is just like praying to die in my opinion. well do you want to just risk your life by just drinking beer?!!!NO!!!!!!!!! there are much more things important in life!!!!!!!!!!!!:P

im just not going 2 drink because if youre not careful it can mess you up my grandma died because of alchohal:(

Do you feel like drinking affects your judgment? How?- I have had a very bad past with alcoholic with my father. I have seen what drinking does to a person and let me tell you its very scary. Since I know the problems my father has with drinking I know that when I turn 21 I have to be careful if I do drink.

- True or false: I plan on waiting until legal drinking age to have my first alcoholic beverage. And WHY?
True- I have had sips of alocholic beverages with my parents permissions but that was just little sips NOT shots. I may not drink when im 21 but I will wait till then

obviously it affects your judgement.. that's the point, it just makes for good time. My parents drink socially, my underage siblings drink socially and its all good as long as no one drives or does anything stupid, duh.

obvz i plan on breaking drinking age.. i already have, it ISN'T a big deal, in Europe no one makes a big deal about it so there is no social stigma, we should follow their example.

+ all the kids who are like "I WILL NEVER DRINK" are in like the 6th grade or below and don't get it yet, people who don't know what they are talking about def shouldn't reply.

fashion4wdTL on January 31, 2010 3:47 PM

yes, i think drinking affects your jugment because my uncle and aunt got engaged while partying and now they are getting a devorce not even 4 years later the process started in the 3rd year of marrage. due to dringking when my uncle had a motercycle accident and got a dui from it.
i do not plan on drinking under age i may not even take on drink my whole life but then again i maymake that stupid decision.

taylor swift29 on February 5, 2010 3:31 PM

I REALLY don't think you should drink until your 21.There is a law against teen drinking for a reason!Drinking really affects your judgement and you do not know what you are doing

IsabellaSwan73 on February 5, 2010 4:11 PM

I think you should not drink until your 21 and older

jbiebernumber1fan on February 6, 2010 10:04 PM

i watch that show.......... and they make a good couple but drinkin u hav to wait until u get 21

CuteButterfly on February 7, 2010 9:33 PM

I know the effect on your jugdement.Annie(think 90120) got drunk then a sext was sent out around the school.I may be,but it porbalry be glass of wine at Christmas

Smiley Girl 25 on February 8, 2010 12:43 PM

I think underage drinking is not right cause it might lead 2 other things like drugs and i will NEVER drink until i'm at the right age.

Smiley Girl 25 on February 8, 2010 12:44 PM

I think underage drinking is not right cause it might lead 2 other things like drugs and i will NEVER drink until i'm at the right age.

Teens should definitely be careful about drinking! Alcohol messes with your judgment and you could end up making really bad decisions if you drink too much. A little bit every once in a while is OK, though.

teen drinking is dangerous and it also leads to alot of mistakes that wants to be forgotten.it can lead to death, illness,and doing things that u cant remember or want to forget.

musicrockz545 on February 13, 2010 10:07 AM

nO DRINKING is not good for under aged pplz plus kids look up to those celebs and they want to do the same thing thats when kids even at 10 take drugs and drink i blame r celebs and there parents for not lookin out for there kids .

mrs.jBIEBER123 on February 13, 2010 10:16 PM

i tnk lil kids should wait they is 2 yung be over 15 dat is ait

i think that if u drink when ur a teen then u will ruin ur life and that ur rele rele rele not smart and i hav not eva drank i think teen drinking is 4 ppl who hav dificulties but thts no excuse!

I think that drinking is horrid and should be banned from adults and if older teens do it they will end up doing some other bad stuff................................

Did you know drinking can ruin brain cells? If you start to drink young (in your teens) it is even harder to get rid of that habbit because you are now addicted

picessadorble1211 on February 15, 2010 8:18 AM

ok first of all teen drinking is not cool for no type of reason u couyld get a hangover and something could happen or kill someone by u being the drunk driver and that could be the most fatel mistake of your life just dont drink its not good espicially if your trying to start your teenage life that would be not a good way to start your life off

Okay well i think noone should drink, but if you ahve to just know know when to stop and when youve had enough, always have a desisnated driver. i have went thwu a phase where i partied and drank and stuff and its just not worth it....

morganbay15 on February 15, 2010 6:16 PM

Well, it really depends. Like, if you just drink with your close friends & you don't really go to crazy parties or anything you're okay. I don't judge people for it. I live in southern Louisiana so pretty much all of my friends & everyone I know drinks. But, I guess it just depends on how much you drink & if you realy abuse it. Abusers are attractive! Ha.
Oh & false because I already have.

adamlover23 on February 18, 2010 4:47 PM

true.because it is illegal to drink under 21 so its better to wait.

iibellababexoxo on February 19, 2010 10:07 AM

ii do think that teens should drink but thats olny if they drink close 2 home or only if parents let them. ii am almost a teen but ii plan on waiting till im 21!

Sabluvhappy on February 19, 2010 2:32 PM

i think that teens that drink get a bad image:(

FutureMrsTill on February 21, 2010 5:34 PM

I don't think drinking is actually all that bad. It's just the people that over drink (a lot of americans) that give it a bad image. There's people over in Europe that drink wine (which does have alchohol) with there dinners every night. They just drink responsibly. So I don't see the problem with drinking just drink responsibly.

wow i cant believe u guys that have drank under the influence AND has not waited to drink at the age limit. THAT IS DISOBEYING ND GUESS WAT THATS ALSO A SIN. U GUYS NEED TO PRAY

twilight lover12 on February 23, 2010 9:52 PM

i think thats wrong can cause heart promblems! i think teens should wait till their 21

JoeJonasOfTheJonasBrothers on February 23, 2010 9:55 PM

TRUE!! plus i'm guessing it will taste disgusting anyways cause i don't even like pop!

perrythegirl09 on February 24, 2010 4:34 AM

TO BE HONEST I ALREADY HAD MY FIRST DRINK WHEN I WAS 16 BUT IT WAS ONCE
I WOULD WAIT TILL AGE 21 BECAUSE ITS THE LAW AND THE LAW IS THERE TO PROTECT US...
AT AGE 18 WE AREN'T RESPONSIBLE TO DRINK..
IF YOU DRINK ITS NOT A SIN PEOPLE YOU WILL BE FRGIVING RELAX ON THE BIBLE STUFFF PEOPLE ITS THE LAW NOT GODS!

I think that you should not be drinking until you are 21.I know that I would not,becase the law says that you are not supposed to drink until you are 21.

What many young people fail to realize is that the effects of alcohol can cause serious damage to their physical development. The frontal lobe of one's brain until about the age of 20. Consumption of alcoholic substances can damage that lobe and cause it to never fully develop. To be frank, drinking can effect one's life in the short term, but the lasting health a growth problems really do far outweigh the benefits of underage drinking.

i think drinking when you're depressed or sad or stressed out is understandable, but still unacceptable. Not only is it bad for your health, but it's screws with your mind. Teens might just drink drinking is coo, and you do it to fit in but i think its just stupid and it shouldn't happen. if their friends are pressuring them to drink just drop the friends and get new ones, it might be hard, but nothing is impossible. And maby if you're drinking you should talk to someone about it instead of doing it over and over again.

Fireheart28 on March 2, 2010 8:51 PM

i think drinking is just a way to escape reality and push off responsibility and i def won't be drinking under the age of 21

Okay,first of all, teen drinking is wrong! When my sisters get drunk,I`m mad,to the max!

necromancergirl16 on March 5, 2010 9:15 PM

I think teen drinking is wrong!!!! people are too young to be getting drunk and things! I will wait till I'm 21 to drink because its legal and I don't think I can handle drinks now!!!

TaylorL1996 on March 7, 2010 3:44 PM

What i think is that teens should wait until the legal drinking age.Why??because teens these days are going to far with acohol and drugs.It sets your life in a new direction.It's not good for you and its wrong to drink to early.So im going to wait until im 21.

i have already drinken before but i dont think its a good thing. maybe we should be a little mopre responsible and amart when it comes to this problem

NadineRocks on March 9, 2010 9:49 PM

Honestly, I think teen-drinking is wrong. I would never drink no matter the age, even when I become legal because drinking is both bad for your safety and health. Personally, I think there's no reason to drink, but everyone has their own opinion.

JUSTIN BIEBER GIRL FRIEND on March 10, 2010 3:07 PM

i hate drinking

cheeznpeanutbutter on March 13, 2010 5:31 AM

I do not approve of drinking, even over the legal age. I do not plan on drinking when I turn older. First off, what good does drinking do to you? and to others aroud you? For you, all it gives is a few hours of fun and not having the reputation of a total goody-two-shoes, maybe. But really, you can do stuff you regret, you could get hurt, or even hurt others. Underage drinking is NOT an obvious common thing, so you don't have to do it. I think people do it because they see teens in stuff like Gossip Girl or 90210 do it all the time. But guys, those are TV shows. In the real world, drinking does not get you hot guys and great hair. Alcohol is bad for your health, and I always feel uneasy about a person when I hear their stories at school about what they did while drunk at a party. It really does NOT make you some cool brave party chick.

I don't think nobody should drink but thats just my opinion because you could get in some serious trouble and it shortins ur life

Cheyennemarie on March 16, 2010 1:48 PM

1. yes i feel that it effects your judgment becuause alcohol makes someone act like they wouldn't

2. I am a 14 year old girl and there is a time in highschool were you are going to be exposed to drugs and other things but i don't think that you should drink befor the age because you don't know how much alcohol you are able to consume and this could have a deadly effect on some people, my addvise is to talk with your mom and dad befor even thinking about it!

inluvwitJB on March 18, 2010 12:17 PM

if we are all completely honest, most people who get drunk or dirnk as a teen don't plan on it, its almost always an impulse decision, whether its a dare, or peer pressure, or whatever the case may be, but I am willing to bet about half of the people who said false have or will end up teen drinking
