I did something awful Today...

Well maybe underage drinking is acceptable where you were brought up, but not with me.  Sure I drank here and there, but not until I was like over 18.  If a 16 year old is looking to escape by getting drunk that is sad.  It just makes me wonder what they will be doing for a release when they are 20.  

Oh yes and give 16 year olds the right to drink.  Hell they can\'t even drive well, let alone handle drinking and driving.  Europe is a completely different case as Bozco stated earlier.  Kids here don\'t handle any responsibility now a days.

I didnt state underage drinking was accpetable, but it is reality. Over 18 or not..that is as bad as 16..still not legal. Maybe they will be doing the same thing at 20..30..40..maybe they will quit..maybe move on to every other drug. Point is, it is a big maybe.

My point was that things wouldnt be much different. Its not like the age limitation is going to stop them if you want to slam a few back.

No it won\'t stop them, but its a deterent.  I firmly believe that if you lower the drinking age you will have a lot more drunk drivers on the road.  Its all about responsibility and this society as whole doesn\'t teach much of that.

If a person is going to drive drunk in the first place..any age limitaion is not even in their vocabulary.

Of course society doesnt teach us that..societies leaders dont even own up to their mistakes.

Heh maybe not, but a 16 yr old is more likely to get behind the wheel drunk than I am.  I have been drunk and called someone.  Teens might be afraid to call someone ie their parents so they will just try and drive.  Who knows... it won\'t be lowered.  As far as our society goes I competely agree.

A little more fun at the people around you sake, no problem.

I guess you have a point with the calling the parents thing. When I was drinking underaged and had a car..I just stayed where I was untill I was sober. Might have broken curfew..but I was had some kinda good excuse Most dont have the good sense to not drive b/c they think getting home late is worse..go figure.

I\'m never going to drink. At least, if I can keep myself from drinking, I never will.

EDIT: I\'m not sure why I added that to this thread. Now I probably sound like some sort of stupid snob. Oh well.

Geez, you are too young to be so upset over a relationship issue.  Dump him and have fun!  You have your whole adult life to experience sleepless nights, don\'t start now!

Besides, having your boyfriend take you to witness the death of a relative is a rather awkward situation - and that\'s an understatement.  :crap:     There\'s nothing wrong with being a compassionate drunk.

Starr, don\'t worry about it so much. You cried because you saw someone die. I cried when my bird died in my hands. Its not exactly something pleasant to see. As for being drunk, you shouldn\'t drink THAT much and go to the mall. That is actually the first time i ever heard of that. Anyway, these things happen and you can\'t avoid it. I\'m sure not too many people realized you were drunk, just hysterical.

Starr - listen to Sara.. she\'s 100% correct. You\'re young.. relationships come and go all the time. Live an learn.. take the lessons you learned in this relationship and use them to better define the type of guy you really wanna be with.

And to the rest of everyone.. lay off aight? Ya\'ll sound like a bunch of lil wussies. "Ohhhh.. 16 years old is too young to drink... shame shame." Whatever. Look, I don\'t necessarily "condone" underage drinking.. but I don\'t think it\'s THAT big of a deal either. Hell I was getting hammered at 13, and I don\'t think drinkin at an early age has affected me or any of my friends negetively in the least. As long as it\'s jus an ocassional thing, don\'t harsh on her. I used to do shots of Everclear with girls her age when I was still in HS... it\'s nothing bad or evil. God, you all sound like you walked outta a After School Special or a lame health class film or something.

Thank you all for the advice. It really means alot to me that you guys care enough to give me advice and be serious on it... I HAVE learned my lesson that what I did was dumb..  I talked to him about 30 mins ago and he appologized for takin his greif out on me..  I explained that the "drunk" episode was not on purpose..

And I do not think that a teen is more prone to jump behind the wheel smashed.. People of age do that more than those who are not of age.  Look at the bars and stuff I think it is more like an equal number..  

Has anyone ever had "99 Apples"??
