drinking alcohol?

Question

Im 15 many people my age drink. I suppose I will drink just to fit in but I dont want to not know what im doing. Why do teens get pissed is it worth it.

Answer 1

when you wake up on a cold wet floor and cant remember anything! then ask yourself is it worth it!
dont be a sheep,its cooler now not to drink and safer!

Answer 2

It's something most people your age think about but good for you to stop and think before swigging away! Drinking at your age is illegal but lots of teenagers do it and NOT get so legless they can't remember what's going on. If you feel like you really want to do it then think hard first and make an informed choice. You're not going to stay away from alcohol til you're 18 if everyone has a go at you are you? You might just go out and find out what all the fuss is about. No one is saying that you have to drink til the bottles empty, so if you must drink then take your time - you're 15 and there's plenty of time to wake up the next morning with a raging hangover :)

Answer 3

Start drinking now and you are headed for a long hard life, and lots of health problems down the road.

If you decide to drink alcohol, do it responsibly, stay off the roads, and know what alcohols you like and don't like.

Don't drink to just fit in. Drink for the taste and the buzz, not to get dead drunk - you will regret that and it is dangerous.

I don't know why teens get pissed, I guess they are testing it or something. No, it is not worth it.

Answer 4

They get pissed as a past time, when they drink they act silly and have a laugh and when you get severed in a shop while being underage and drinking underage, its a buzz rush of adrenaline as Ur breaking the law and getting away with it.Plus its not as risky as breaking a car.
Others do it just to show off and some do it just because others do it.

Its not a good thing to do, if you don't want to drink then DONT! there are sooo many underage drinkers out there and soo many more illnesses in The long run that can affect you. Achool can become addictive so its not good drinking it for the sake of it!

Who do you mean ,i dont want to know what i am doing' do you not want them to know what u r doing or u dont want to know. If you want to feel like this then i suggest talking to someone as it may not just be the achol that's on your mind...
Please be careful as no one can help you but yourself.

Answer 5

Teens think it makes them look big or clever. The result is, it doesn't. If you want to stay in control, don't do it.

If you want to drink, wait til you're older and you can be responsible and can take responsibility for your actions.

You don't need to drink to fit in. Real friends won't think less of you for not indulging.

I started going out clubbing at 15 and still over indulge. I wouldn't recommend it, I wish I'd waited until I was older as I have some regrets of some of the things I did under the influence whilst young.

Answer 6

You are 15 - you are still growing. Why screw up the possibility of being great by drinking? Your brain isn't done developing yet, why start destroying it? Everyone I knew that drank at that age never lived up to their potential. Make up an excuse - tell people you have a deadly allergy to alcohol. You can drink when you get to college.

Answer 7

First of all drinking at age 15 is illegal and whoever your source is, is breaking the law.
Second, a lot of people get ticked off, and alcohol just makes it worse...........Other than that growing up is sometimes difficult..........but alcohol doesn't make it better..No one should just do something to "fit in" you need to take a stand and practice being your own person

Answer 8

The earlier someone begins to drink the more likely they are to become alcoholics. Go to an AA meeting and take an age poll.

Answer 9

you should never do anything to fit in people should accept you for who you are and your beleifs. kids should not be drinking its not good for you your body has not matured ehough and it will take far less alcohol to get you into a dangerous state then it would for a legal drinker. there is a reason it is regulated you know.....besides just grab some juice and tell everyon u put vodka in it or some crap like that... or you could just take one beer and hold on to it for one hour then grab another... it takes an hour to one beer or shot to get out of your system so if you drink one per hour you wont get drunk.

Answer 10

im not going to tell you not to do it, you must surely know all the pros and cons medicaly by now. teens do it for the same reason why people who can do it illegally do it, to let go, to get a moment when the stress from their normal life is gone or just to get away from their normal life. alcohol is not addictive so if you do it its not like you are going to be fixed. if you carry on its purely because you enjoy it.

as you can see im not a very caring person. :)

Answer 11

Drinking alcohol is not going to make you fit in. If you feel awkward, liquor is just going to enhance that feeling. Not worth it!
