lets drink more.

Most under eighteens drink alcohol, its inevitable in today’s society. Drinking it is illegal which makes the thrill daring and somewhat 'cheeky.' It’s an icebreaker for potential awkwardness. Boys become more attractive as do girls I'm sure and it always seems like a good idea to chase the danger. Alcohol for a young teenager leads to confidence, mistakes, judgments and undoubtedly their will be consequences whether they be good or bad, situations will occur and leave you feeling slightly out of your regular comfort zone. Adults look upon you with disappointing eyes, they are shrugged off and you continue on with your day relatively hung-over. Sometimes the experience can be bad and tears are wept, minds are spoken and all kinds of frustrations are let out. The morning after can always be interesting, involving the seemingly endless headaches and the occasional stomach churning thrown in now and again. However that does not stop you from getting even more drunk then you did the last time, because the so-called high of alcohol is worth it. The feeling of being able to make conversation with absolutely anyone about anything, the ability to flirt your way through the evening and the complete and utter courage to say exactly what your thinking is always worth 'chundering' a few times in between.

Most people preach about the disgrace of teenage binge drinkers. I think that its most likely I will be one of those people one day when I am older and more mature. But for now drinking alcohol and going a little crazy is what my culture is all about. And yes i completely agree with the 'you don't need to drink to have fun' idea but you do need to drink to experience the mistakes that have to be made at this age because at any other age they are just completely unacceptable. Sometimes its just about letting yourself go a bit but still having the power to pull yourself together again afterwards.

  1. I'm afraid it doesn't get any better at my age darling! People still do stupid things while under the influence and there is the occasional chundering (although not by your dear mother). It's good to be philosophical about it all.
