they should'nt be getting drunk at all. try an intervention first between other friends. If that doesn't work, then go to the parents. They will hate you for it at first, but, you will be a true friend in the long run.

You are absolutely right, they shouldn't be drinking at all, and I think if you are any kind of friend I would talk to your parents about it, so they can talk to the other kids parents. I mean yeah you are going to sound like a snitch and they are going to be mad, but one day they may thank you for saving their lives. It may not be tomorrow or next week, but one day. And you will be able to know that you helped out some friends. There are so many dangers to drinking that kids do not even realize, they are damaging their livers to begin with, not to mention, the alcohol consumption can be to much which can send them into a coma alcohol poisoning is one of the biggest things I see in the Emergency Room all the time in young kids. Then they may try and drive after drinking, not only endangering themselves but others as well. So be a friend and do what is right.

you are absoulutly right they should not drink at all first it is illegal and it will cause brain cells to die and it will end up contorling there lives they will become adicts and drink themselves into a early grave maybe you should tell them why it bothers you why it is bad and all the bad things can can happen to them if they keep at this and maybe even do a little research to find some other bad things that can happend i gave you a couple if that doesnt work go to plan B have an intervension get some other close non drinking friends of yours to help sit them down and get them over there addiction if that doesnt work go to plan C plan C probably wont be needed inless your so called friends are really stuborn but ofcourse you cant give up plan C is to go to your parents some things can be handled on your own but in srious situations like this it is inportant to do what ever it takes to get there lives back on track tell your parents that your frinds drink but before they go crazy make sure you let them know you havent done anything tell them you have tryed and you need some help have your parents first talk to your frinds dont let them go to your frinds parents first if they continue have your parents talk to there parents they might think you were a tatlle tail but some day they will thank you alot for helping them if and only if they still do it after ther parents have talked to them it is time to go to the police it would be a terrible thing that you have to go so far but maybe thats what they need an EXTEME SUPER wake up call although your frinds have to be majore stuborn to go that far and also you might want to think about if they really are your frinds
good luck and i hope this helps

Tell them why it bothers you. Don't lecture them, it won't get you anywhere, they will feel like you are their parent or something. Let them know that drinking doesn't make them cool, it makes them turn into alcoholics at a young age which is a disease. Ruins their livers, which is irreversible. And damaging it at a stage where they are so young can only cause harm. Do they actually know that the reason they are getting drunk is because the alcohol is starving their brains from oxygen, which can kill you. Even if it is a few drinks, that is the feeling you get from a buzz, brain cells dying. Well good luck young one.

They shouldn't be but are to dumb to listen to you so they will get in trouble or something bad will happen and they will stop. Its good of you to care but at that age its really bad. Maybe try talking to someone at school or there parents so they can bust there asses. Or if you want to get them in trouble be a rat and tell on them call the cops and send them to where ever they are drinking or getting the boozes from.

I don't think they should either, but there probably isn't anything you can do to change them. You have to be responsible for yourself. Try to make friends with kids who don't drink. Maybe you will be a good influence on your drinking friends when they see you having fun without alcohol, but don't count on them to change. You sound mature and sensible.
