    In my experiance those I know that didn't drink till they were 18 discovered the daemon and flew off the rails, underage drinking is just training for real world drinking imo.

    IMO drinking in general is stupid. I think that the kids who drink are stupid zombies who only drink because everyone else is. Drinking at a young age can have negative effects on the brain as it is still developing.

    But yeah, leave them at it if they aren't doing any harm to anyone else. Same goes for other drugs.

    Nooooooooo,

    I'm pretty sure I drank at a young age cause I wanted to be drunk.

    Oh wait, maybe i'm confusing the want to be drunk with the "need to fit in".
    Damn those negative effects on my brain.

    Oh well, I guess we'l never know.

    Of all the stupidness, this is the winner.

    The word you're looking for is stupidity.

    My best memory of teenage drinking was the night I got a bird pregnant and then killed someone!

    A bird? that's kinda gross.


    Teenage drinking, did it at home or at college. Grew out of it.
    Wish it wasn't seen as such a "cool" forbidden thing, maybe people would grow out of it more

    How many adults have gone out got drunk and had one night stands and ended up pregnant? You can't just say its a youth problem, but i agree it is worse for a teen but its not just teens. Its the same as everything in life though, You'll have a large percentage of teens who drink have fun, and don't cause a problem, however there is always that group who'll get bored and try something stupid and ruin the fun for everyone.

    I was drinking in fields at 13/14 so when i see it now i dont think anything of it. As long as they're not causing trouble it doesnt really bother me.

    Teens drinking (a reasonable amount) with responsible adults present. No issues.

    Teens hanging around towns, drinking on the streets, getting into pubs/clubs, no proper supervision etc is going to lead to problems.

    Never saw the fun of going out trying to sneak a few cans with friends etc myself, probably because I knew that I could have a few at home as long as my parents were around.

    Teenage drinking was great, coming in, scrubbing your teeth and then trying to act sober in front on your parents. The drinking nights were the only ones where you went to bed nearly as soon as you go it in. The ritual would be:

    - brush teeth
    - go down to living room, make small talk to parents to prove you are sober
    - after exactly 1 min of small talk proclaim "Ah I'm shattered, I'm gonna go to bed"
    - up the stairs thinking "1-0 to me"

    Suckers! :D

    Everyone grows out of it.

    It happens after you're 20th birthday.
