Underage Drinking?

Question

Your thoughts on the topic

Answer 1

I drank when I was a teen but unfortunately a classmate died in a car accident in Feb of 2002. Then in March of 2002 my sister died as a result of underage drinking and stupid friends, long story. I think that it is unwise and really takes away from the excitement of your 21st Bday.

Answer 2

I think it is interesting that some countries where a six-year-old can go buy a bottle of wine have virtually no problems with underage drinking (ie- drunkenness), while one where it is illegal to drink under the age of 21 has teenagers all over getting plastered. Personally I think a lot of the teen drinking is done simply because it is "forbidden." If kids are brought up around alcohol and understand that it can be enjoyed in moderation, but shouldn't be used in excess, they will be less likely to go get drunk and end up in a stranger's bed with an STD or worse.

Answer 3

When I was underage, I loved drinking. But the fact that it's illegal makes it a real pain in the *ss. You can't buy it, you can't do it in public, you can't be all stumbling around. I miss underage drinking, it seemed a lot more fun when it wasn't legal. 18 year old kids should be allowed to drink. Hell, THEY DRINK ANYWAY.
Then there's the age old saying "if you're old enough to die for your country, you should be old enough to drink".

Answer 4

easy... lower the age where teenagers can get into nightclubs to 16...

But only if the bar can be in a separate room or part of the club teenagers can get into and no srinks can leave the bar (helps keep drinks off dance floors.

Have things like a chilli shot (strong non alcoholic but **** me thats hot chilli not a soft option;) drinking chair

Debauched party games that feature getting sexes mixing and flirting...


ie we t shirt, wet boxer short, kissing competitons like pass the ice cub.


Bands, stageding , dancing on stanges etcv etc


Only no alchol in the main area of the club.


Kids get to go out and have fun and make out without the alcohol. Whilst the older folk get their alcohol

Answer 5

not good for people who actually go out and do underage drinking,
ok if its just an underage person taking like 1 sip of wine their dad made or something when he offered

Answer 6

thoughts?

It will always be a problem. I was a goody two shoes, but most people drink in college. Parents just need to pray that they have taught their child well, and that their son or daughter will go off to school with a good head on their shoulders.
