I'm 14 and live in the uk. All my friends go out on friday nights and get drunk but I don't. It's not because I'm not trying to be sensible but people that go out mostly have a better group of friends like more.

At 14, you should be having sleepovers and not hangovers. I'm not trying to be smart or funny, just being honest.
Hopefully, hanging out with your friends, you won't feel pressured. If they are friends, they may ask you if you want a drink but they won't hold it against you if you say no.

No you shouldn't. Drinking only makes you feel really sick the next day...it doesn't make you cool. Hang out with a bunch of drunk people while you remain sober and you will see why.
Not to mention, you and your friends are waaaaay too young to be drinking. Wait until you are of legal age (not sure what that is in the UK), or until you are a little more mature (though you don't sound IMMature to me, its just that 14 isn't old enough to handle the responsibility), and then you can try drinking. There is no reason to rush into going out and getting drunk. Keep doing what you are doing. It doesn't matter how many friends you have, all you need is a few good ones who really care about you!

No you shouldn't be. If that's what your friends do, then try to make new friends. That's not a good path to go down and can get you VERY hurt. You are still a kid, with your life ahead of you, and there will be plenty of time for having fun and drinking, when you are of age to do so legal age. There is a reaso why they have an age set on legal drinking, and that's because, young minds don't comprehend the harm they can get into or cause others. It's not the cool thing to do, and in a yr. or 2 those friends who are doing that, I gaurantee you some of the girls will have been date raped, car wrecks, become alcoholics, and some will fail school and drpop out. Is that a future you want to bew statisticly part of?

Why would anyone at 14 be out getting drunk, sounds like a waste of time. At 14 your mind is still developing, you stand to damage it though this kind of behavior. Use your time with sensible friends who choose to grow instead. When you start using at 14, your mental development can remain at that age until you stop using, at which point it will may never catch up to where you could have been. Ask yourself what kind of future you want and work toward that instead.

no. you wont have any money. you have no idea what you are doing when you drink. and in my experience, you're friends throw caution to the wind. i got drunk earlier in the year (I'm 16) it cost me $80. I downed a bottle of vodka, half a bottle of midori and premixes. it wasn't worth the hangover or my parents distrust. i couldnt handle alcohol like i thought i could. my friends all got pissed too, and i was on the floor bleeding for 20 minutes because i had broken a glass and accidentally slashed my wrist open.
it is up to you, but my experience is that kids who start drinking really young (namely, 14) tend to get sick of it, and move on to heavier stuff when they are younger (i.e. doing coke while 16)
its not a good look. and most of those kids have thrown away their private school education and are knocked up. just think. and if you do, moderation.

14..so freshmen in highschool right? you brain shoul be developed and mature enough for you to decide right from wrong. It's totally up to you, one drink wont hurt...but getting caught by the cops or your parents (if they dont approve) will hurt. Don't drink because your friends do it, drink if YOU want to. Also you dont necessarily need to get drunk, if you want to drink...drink a few and have a good time. I dont approve of other people doing underage drinking (even though I do it). But life is life..just be safe about it and have fun.

They don't have a better group of friends than you,more is not always great.Be yourself,stand for what you believe in.
Your 14yrs, of age,getting drunk is not sensible.

It is totally irresponsible to drink at the age of 14! There are age limits on things for a reason. Drinking damages your health and is seriously not cool. Dont feel pressured into something that you are not entirely comfortable with.
Hope this helps =)

Regardless of how it seems, there are teenagers who chose not to drink. I'm 18 and I have yet to taste alcohol, but to be honest with you, I still see no point. I can have just as much fun sober as someone else can drunk. And better yet, I'll remember it better.
