Simple answer.
No, not at all...

I felt sad for my friend that was forced to drink a small glass of Bacardi at his recent birthday party.
I don't know much about those kind of things, but I was surprised when I saw the alcohol percentage.
It was like 70-80%.
I thought I read it wrong, but my other friend confirmed that.

I know for sure that percentage is the same percentage on alcohol for cosmetics or sterilizing an open wound.
I cannot imagine if one drinks that.

Conclusion: peer pressure is bad...

Erm, I use to drink at least once every three weeks, I stopped drinking because my girlfriend didn't like it.

I think it's stupid to drink because everyone else is doing and and you wanna fit in.  

The only reason I drank was for fun not to be a loser about it.

Your ex-girlfriend drank stupidly, anyone that drinks like that should get a life, they are just throwing themselves away.

I also hate the fact that people drink just because they are depressed or have to get something off their mind.  That's stupididy, get a life.

Drinking is fun to a certain extent.

Exactly.

I mean, if your at a party and your having a few with mates its ok. Thats how life is these days. When your getting as badly smashed as Johnnys ex then that is going too far but some people have no control
Also if your "relying" on getting pissed to "get away" or whatever then you really need to take a good look at yourself because that is just pointless.
I dont think that its fasionably "cool' to drink underage but it is an accepted thing and some people so think that it's uncool not to drink. Thats where the peer pressure comes in Its up to the drinker whether or not they take part, and thats all it comes down to.

Sorry but i found that funny


with me, when it comes to driking.
i will not go over the top, if i feel woosy or something, ill tell my mates to keep a eye on me.
I don't think i would drink to get drunk, at all.

I used to go out with a girl, and she would do excatly what your ex-ex does. We would go out on a friday night, and she would end up going to see her mates, and i would go see mine. and when we would meet up later, she would have gone down the shops, asked some random guy outside to go in and buy her bottles of spirits. which her and her mates would drink through out the night. and when i saw her again, she would fall in my arms giggling..
i wasnt a happy chappy

she had a new years party at her house, and they all got drunk..
I had to stop her friend from cutting herself and taking a overdose on paracetamol(dont laugh )
another one of her friends was sick everywhere, so i had to clean it up and hoover up..
while my lovely girl friend was only in her knickers upstairs screaming, laughing and running around(not a bad sight though )

it kinda makes you think...


tbh: drinking to be cool = No!

Who would sell shots to 13 year olds? Especially seeing how blown she was... Yall should not have let her buy that many drinks, and those guys shouldnt of sold them to her. (No matter what the age, After a certain point you should stop selling drinks.)

There is nothing wrong with drinking, but when the results can be severe you should stop. Drinking shouldn't be about "coolness", its just a let off.

How is there nothing wrong with drinking. It has made the world such a crappy place, if drinking didn't exist, the world would be alot more cleaner, and safer.  It is the peoples fault for drinking so much but still, drinking is a problem.

Drinking didnt make the world a crappy place, people did. As long as you drink responsible, nothing bad will happen. Its the fault of the people for being dumb asses.

True, but still if drinking wasn't ever invented(booze that is)

Then there would be no issue, but i guess it's one of those things where its both parties fault.

I think in australia, hte person serving the liquor is supposed to REFUSE you buying more alcohol if your in danger.
