I'm 15 and I don't do drugs or whatever nor do I care if other people do or do not. If they do do drugs then it's their life, they could do whatever they want.
I think that liking alcohol, especially beer and the harsher spirits, is something that you learn to enjoy the more of it you have. Im not saying that if you dont like vodka then go out and drink a bottle of it every night for a month. But its like all things, if you dont try it you dont know if you dont like it, and if you dont like it then wait for a bit then try it again. I'm 18 and started to drink around 13/14 just because it was hillariously easy to buy alcohol from around here. Back then it was, as you put it, just to get absolutely blatted for the hell of it. But after a couple of years doing that I got bored and now i only drink because i enjoy the taste, I havn't been as drunk as i used to get in a long time because it just isnt fun. But i agree with you, if you dont like the taste then dont drink!
I drank when I was a teenager, but it was because I enjoyed it. I agree that you shouldn't let yourself be pressured into drinking. But, you shouldn't be pressured into NOT drinking, either. It's a personal choice.
It's not ALL the teens that like alcohol, at least not where I live. I do respect people like you that think some kids shouldn't drink as much and things like that. But I respect the ones that drink too. After all it's their life. I drink occasionally, mostly in parties or when it's Hanabi. : D But usually, we, teenages, are too busy studying to get drunk or stoned every week end. Plus, we can have a lot of fun without it, as you said too.
hahaha I thought that said "I ate alcohol" but yeah, personal choice completely luckily my friends are pretty spread out, so I can have my pick based on whether or not I feel like drinking XD
Well I'm a student doing a bachelors degree, so there's lots of parties in my halls = hence lots of drinking. It's fun, and I definitely don't drink as much as everybody else. It's good once in a while, but I have fun without alcohol. When I get older though, I wont have the opportunity - so I do it now while I can
OK, here's my take on alcohol. I mean, you can have some for special occasion, but it is very damaging... It's actually a good thing that you don't like alcohol because many people will want you to try just to be "cool". Don't listen to them...don't you care about your health more than you care about being "cool"?
