Underage Drinking At Its Worst

While alcohol may not be the most dangerous of drugs, it is harmful nonetheless. There have been many research studies done by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism that prove this to be true. Binge drinking is drinking with the purpose of getting drunk, and is the most common form of alcohol consumption while it is also the most dangerous. There have been numerous researches by other organizations and scientists that have demonstrated just how dangerous underage drinking can be. These facts cannot be denied and further the belief that underage drinking is very serious and dangerous. Not only does a person run the risk of being arrested for illegal activity, a person can also be harmed.

Today, alcohol use continues to be regarded by many people, as a normal part of

Episode 4 "Underage Drinking; A National Concern" of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia addresses underage drinking through politically incorrect satire while still focusing on the seriousness of the subject matter. It is widely known and accepted that alcohol abuse by teenagers is not only a crime; it is also a sorrowful situation when it involves ruining lives and it can even result in death. The cast of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia presents a new and obviously demented view point to the subject.

In the article “Underage Drinking” the author highlights the effects and dangers of consuming alcohol before it is legal. While it is true that “In most countries around the world where alcohol is legal, the legal drinking age is eighteen”, the author states that alcohol can still have more negative effects on those under the age of twenty one than adults. The author provides many statistics, such as “research showed a correlation between the lowered drinking age and increased car accidents” to back up these statements. It is clear that the author’s main goal in the article is to inform the public about the negative outcomes of underage drinking, but it seems that their ulterior motive is to persuade against it. This is obvious, as the author shows no positives or even opinions from the opposing side.

Alcohol is a drink that possesses a seducing effect to tempt many citizens. Adults worldwide consume countless cans of beers, wine, vodkas, and other alcohol beverages. However, its luring quality has been secretly shared to minors, resulting to a problem called Underage Drinking. This situation has existed for quite some time. In the past, underage drinking was considered a miniscule crime, and wasn’t strictly restrained or monitored. As we continued to remain oblivious, numbers of adolescent drinkers have gradually increased as they used the tolerant rules to their advantage. Now, the problem has become significantly noticeable, and we can no longer neglect it. High school, even middle school students have been found with

Do you remember how cool you felt the first time that you drank? All of us younger kids, hanging out with the older kids, everyone getting drunk together. Thinking about this when I was younger really made me raise the question of why we have a legal limit to drink in the first place. Underage kids have had no problem getting alcohol for decades so why put a legal limit on it? When I found myself asking these questions the answers seemed to make sense; or maybe it was my senior year of high school when I got suspended for ten days. After that had occurred it made me think that maybe they have a limit on alcohol for a reason. One of

“With such compelling information, the question is why haven 't we been able to do more to prevent the crisis of underage drinking? The answer is: rising the age to 25” is what Lucille Roybal-Allard once said, a U.S. Representative for serving in Congress since 1993. This statement has brought many to speculate of issues and debates. This expression opened the eyes of American people that often struggled to make this truth into a reality. It might be easy to believe that age laws lowered the deaths of the underage but there are still signs of its dreadful company in many pieces of American life. Families who choose to educate their children about underage drinking and driving, seem to have a higher chance of getting through with the child. These underage teens can face jail or death when they give drinking a chance and even attempt to drive, having a sexual intercourse or just plain out doing something out of the teen’s element.

By definition and federal law, underage drinking is any person under 21 who are consuming alcohol. In 2011, Missouri had 258 total alcohol impaired fatalities. Forty-six, or thirty percent, of these fatalities were under the age of twenty-one (Century Council). Surely, it does not happen in small towns like Warrensburg. Yes, in fact, it does happen in Warrensburg, the reason being it is a college town, and Whiteman Air Force Base is just twenty minutes outside the town. Here are stories of underage drinking incidences that occurred in Warrensburg, Jackson County, and St. Joseph.

Another way to combat the underage drinking and underage drinking party problem is to know where the party areas are. The officers know the party areas, and who is usually involved in the setup. The school resource officers and police explorers are good eyes and ears for the department, making it much easier to find out when and where a party would be and stop the party. All of these things can help reduce the rates of underage drinking.

Another problem to consider is that underage drinking are able to lose control of their behaviour. Alcohol is related to unprotected sexual issues and sexual violence , such as: kidnapping, unplanned pregnancies, HIV infections, and sexually transmitted diseases. Those are commonly problems when teenagers had been drinking. According to the online researches, young people are rarely use a condom when they have been drinking that puts them at risk for unplanned pregnancies and sexually disease transmission to their partner. In other words, they decide to drink even though they realize that alcohol affects their decision making and may cause them to engage in sexual behaviors they would not do while sober.

Underage drinking is becoming more of a noticeable problem in society, not only with high school students, but also with younger generations. Drinking is all over the television, the radio, and talked about in schools, public places, etc. Alcohol advertisements are more and more appealing to younger generations. If our youth is educated at a younger age, if school policies were stricter, and if clubs and bars cracked down on underage drinking the problem would not be as serious.

The party started around 8:00pm and lasted all night long. Austin and I met at his house and rode together to get there. On the way to the party I told Austin I wasn’t going to drink any alcohol because my mom would kill me. The party must have started early because when we got there everyone was already there. It was your typical high school party. It had every type of alcohol you could imagine and of course everyone was smoking pot. We met up with our group of friends. They were all like it’s not a party if you don’t get wasted. They all knew before that I did not want to drink. They bugged me the whole party and half way through I broke. I drank before but not much. I told my friends just a few and believe me I started out good. I

So she just went along with it. It’s not that she didn’t want me to go with her, it’s that she didn’t want me to get in trouble. As for my other friend, Alyssa, she wanted me to be there in case anything happened to her. So, it was getting to be 11:00 PM & my parents were, thankfully, falling asleep. At 11:30 PM, I called an Uber to come pick me up and drive me to the party. I walked outside of my house, in the dark, gloomy, creepy night, for the Uber to get to me. So, the Uber

My boyfriend, Garrett, my best friend, Hannah, my best friend’s boyfriend, Grant, and I were all bored on a Sunday night during the summer before my senior year. The four of us caught wind of a huge party at a mutual friend’s house. We designated Hannah as the driver and piled into one car. When we arrived about thirty minutes later, the cars lined the mile-long driveway. Cars even filled the entire three-acre property. The house was huge and the back porch seemed like it was made for this party. Everything was going very well. We found our spot at the party and started rolling blunts to get everyone warmed up. Again, Hannah was the driver, meaning she stayed sober and I did not want to get drunk without her. But whether it was just to look natural or to feel a
