I am 16 years old, and I am proud to say that I do not drink. Just the smell of alcohol makes me sick...I don't even want to taste it. The only thing I have are ice cream drinks, that’s enough for me.

Mainly the thought of what it does to your body really turns me off, and the horrific pictures and videos I saw of drunk people getting in accidents. At 16 I really don't want to have a messed up liver and mushy brain (killing your brain cells making you stupid)- since the alcohol is stored in the brain until the liver can process it. How pleasant, eh!?!

Also, the fact that alcohol turns nice people into belligerent, wild, obnoxious people.

Crikit, I am with you too. I am disturbed by the thread a lot. I do not see what is so cool about showing off that you drink!?! That’s for the underage drinkers, not the ones who are legal.

I don't know about other places, but in Wisconsin you can go to the bar with your parents and have as much alcohol and liquor that you want. Even if you are 10 years old. But you can't drink underage w/o your parents present.
