Here are some steps and tips to help you stay away from alcohol. Steps   1. Say "No" to somebody who tries to persuade you to drink. If someone asks you to take alchohol, say no. If the person who asks you is not a friend, don't talk to them anymore. If it is a friend, try to help them cope and get them to stop. Have them read this article.   2. Google a damaged liver from alcohol. Read about them and tell yourself "That won't be me."   3. Educate yourself about alcohol and the effects it has on your body. Look up sites and read books. Talk to your teachers and parents. Know about what alcohol can do to your body and believe that it can happen to you, too.   4. Remember you have plenty time to enjoy drinking when you are at legal age. You will have the rest of your life to drink after you turn 21. So deal with the more important things now and don't spoil it.   5. Stay away from kids whose main hobby is drinking. Avoiding a wrong entourage keeps you safe from being influenced by so-called "friends" and from doing things you wouldn't normally do.   6. Know that getting drunk regularly makes you even more depressed than you are when you're sober. Some people drink because alcohol makes them be more extroverted and get over their inhibitions. They are persons with a low confidence level, therefore they are vulnerable to anything that gets them out of this state of mind. It's not a good idea. Actually, after drinking half a bottle of wine, you start getting sadder instead of getting happier.   7. Avoid going to parties with people that usually drink. These kind of parties are all about alcohol; they think that the drunker you are, the more fun you will have at the party. Avoid this kind of social gatherings. See the lives of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears. Look where drinking at parties has got them- their lives are a mess, their career is nearly ruined and their reputation gets worse with each night spent partying.   8. Know that drunk people have no control over their actions and end up looking ridiculous. Everybody knows them. They lose their balance, talk nonsense, do the silliest things and then fall asleep so deeply they can't remember what they had done a day before. And they continue to live like nothing has happened, when everybody around them knows how ridiculous they are. If you care about your reputation, please do not drink. You don't want to be the one everybody makes fun of at a party. There usually are still some sober people around at any party, who do remember the party the day after. You don't want to end up being the target of their juiciest gossips, do you? Tips    * If you like to party be the person who drives the drunk ones home.    * Everyone is curious at a young age. But just trust the law and wait until you're old enough to drink legally. Warnings    * Remember that everything is ok in moderation. Do not go out every weekend and get wasted, but the odd night out with a few friends or party is fine.

(unless daddy says you can then its OK) but seriously.. a lil self experience goes a long way Yeah because being an obligerent drunk is sexy. rofl LoveKay Posted at 1:29 pm on Jan. 6, 2009 Quote: from theboxman at 1:44 pm on Jan. 6, 2009   Boy this guy must be lots of fun. I guess he does not get invited to any parties. Can you say this person is not going to get laid til after age 21! Wow, that is sad to know that the only way you can get laid is when you're drunk with some drunk girls! And it's good to know that you don't know how else to have fun other than drink. Sorry, but you're lame. Children who were brought up in Europe know their limits when drinking, and if the United States didn't put such a strong morality ban against drinking, then we could be like Europe, too. If you went up to somebody in Germany, for example, and said, "Where's the party at? I want to get drunk." They would most likely be like, "What? You 'party' to get drunk? You drink to get drunk? You need to get together with people to drink?" There are lots of ways to have fun and have a good time without drinking. I rarely drink, and when I do, I usually don't even get drunk. I enjoy the tastefulness of my drinks. I care about what I put in my mouth. An average beer has about 130 calories. A shot of hard liquor that is about 40 proof has the same amount of calories if not more. I don't want a gut and I don't want to be fat and ugly. I have fun every weekend. Every day. Without having drugs or alcohol involved. And I most definitely get laid SOBER! michaelb15 Posted at 1:15 pm on Jan. 6, 2009 hahahaha this post made my day OMGZZZ people who drink illegaly turn into the devil!! so dont drinkk!

Can you say this person is not going to get laid til after age 21! 11Adrian Posted at 11:51 am on Jan. 6, 2009 yeah i totally understnad what you're saying but drinking does help problems and it freaking rocks illegal is the way to go once your 21 you wont want to do it anymore Chiefette Posted at 11:50 am on Jan. 6, 2009 2.  Drinking only damages your liver significantly after years of alcohol abuse.  Not having a few drinks on the weekends. 3.  I am very educated about alcohol and the effects it has on my body, but that doesn't stop me from drinking occasionally. 4.  Yes, becuase once we turn 21 all the effects change.  If someone plans to drink at 21, they aren't going to care about the effects it has now, or then. 5.  Just because someone drinks, and offers you one, does not mean that they are not your friends.  Friends can drink if they want to, if you don't want to drink don't.  It's a personal decision. 6-7.  Not worth talking about 8.  You do still have control when you are drinking.  That is a load of crap. Pebbles123 Posted at 11:50 am on Jan. 6, 2009 Nah. I like drinking. If someone doesn't want to drink, simple, just don't. This isn't going to stop anyone from doing it. theboxman Posted at 11:49 am on Jan. 6, 2009 and stay away from water!  People have been trying to get me to drink it for years! bosss Posted at 11:48 am on Jan. 6, 2009 why would you avoid drinking Z o E Posted at 11:48 am on Jan. 6, 2009 haha yeah its not going to happen.
