Growing up in Australia where its part of our culture many people my age, now 22, started binge drinking fairly early around ages from 14+, so yeah I drink, get drunk a few times a week with mates, go to pubs, clubs or partys, or just chill out at home or a friends place and listen to music.
Guess its just what you do when your young, go out have fun, meet girls, getting into trouble and fights and just running a muk. Its part of the culture of people my age and if your not doing your looked at someone that isn't living their life.
All in moderation I say, if your doing something and not enjoying it and depending on it to make you feel better thats when it becomes a problem. Well there's my 2 cents worth, might go have a beer for breakfast haha
Im 16 and have not drank any alcohol for roughly 5 months. When i was 15, i lived in an asian country and was able to purchase alcohol very cheaply an easily, i drank til i blacked out many times. I now feel sick just by the smell if vodka, i prefer beer now.
I don't drink any alcohol at all since I was 18. Gave it up after doing something stupid and reckless which scarred my life forever.
I drank my first beer at 10 and started to drink alot when I turned 12. I did get my fake ID at 15 so from then I started to really get out of control with booze.
When I got older though, I realized and found out that alcohol had a huge negative effect on me and made me an aggressive and angry person towards myself and others. Even a beer or two will make me turn into a person I never want to be. It does have an effect on other differently though. I might have some beers when I turn 21 this year since 21 is the legal age in USA just for cheers or something like that but for now I'm staying sober.
It wouldn't hurt to drink a little or a few shots. For me though, I need to learn to control it in moderation though since it really effects me greatly.
I drink average a few beers per week , and that's in the weekends with frends, but you should know I live in belguim, here it's legal to drink when you are 16+
