No offense to those who drink, but I treat alchohol like any other drug - I stay away from it. Of course, I am only 16, but when I do get to be old enough I don't think I'm going to drink at all.

Plus, there are practical issues... you get drunk, you need a drive home if you're out somewhere. And you need a good friend to stop you from being an idiot while under the influence...you could go and drive despite warnings, and nobody would really stop you if you didn't have a friend there.

And its unhealthy! Red nose, you get over-weight, etc. If you drink a lot.
