Pro's-of Underage Drinking?

Answer 1

I can't think of a single pro for allowing anyone to drink, let alone minors.

Answer 2

It's always dangerous to tell people under the age of 21 not to drink, as it will just make them want to do it more. The pro's in the situation is that the smarter of the underage populous that does drink, will learn how alcohol does affects their bodies. So many times you hear of college freshman who have never used alcohol before, go on a binge and never wake up due to the fact that they never learned what drinking in moderation means.

The negatives are quite obvious and it would be quite redundant to to list them over and over again.

Answer 3

I don't see anything good coming out of underage drinking. Once you start drinking at a young age and your body has gotten addicted it's too hard to stop. My father was addicted by the time he was 19 it became his best friend (to him). To everyone else it was a night mare. Now at the age of 48 he's gone and all the memory's of him were being and alcoholic.

Answer 4

The biggest one I can think of would be there would not be any rebellion by drinking. Also, as kids learn to drink, they could do so while their parents could monitor and mold good drinking habits (not drinking too much). In many other countries kids will start drinking early. Their culture is set up so that binge drinking is not common, and since kids start at young ages, they become responsible with their drinking early. They also tend to have very strict DUI laws in those countries.

Answer 5

Drinking in moderation under adult supervision (i.e. a glass of wine served with a meal, in the company of parents) is a reasonably positive introduction to the consumption of alcohol.
Probably better than most people's first experiences.
That way the youngster might not be as likely to get ripped and throw up in his dorm room.

Answer 6

i've seen a few kids who don't drink before they're 21 so once they hit 21 they drink themselves sick. if you drink before you turn of age then you know what agrees with your system, what doesn, you'll be able to handle your alcohol better so if you're in a bar you're more aware of whats going on, and you'll already have tried it so it won't be some amazing thing that you need to drink lots of just because you can. i'm 18 and i drink alcohol, and i know what i like, and what i don't like. and i only drink when i feel like it. when i started every chance i got i got drunk. then i realised this beer sucks, or this one is good, and it was no longer such a rush and more "oh, alcohol? oh, sure! why not" and then just sip on it for a while. i don't need to chug it anymore or anything. and for me it's nice because i know on my 21st birthday i will go out and have some drinks, but i know i'll like it so i won't be wasting my money tasting and testing, and i'll probally only have a few

Answer 7

The only pro is you cannot be tried as an adult if you are 18 or younger. The con part is you can still be sent to juvi and mess up your future before it even starts.

Answer 8

The body is usually alot smaller and less developed so its easier to get drunk although that wouldn't be seen as a pro for everyone.

Answer 9

No pros. Sorry. Research show that people who drink early in life are more prone to alcoholism.

Answer 10

cynically speaking,
Adults will sure sound a lot better.
Ugly people will look better.
If you mow people down in your car you might not get tried as an adult.
Don't drink dude it ain't worth it. Even when you are older.
