4. yes

5. yes

6. no

7. no

8. no, I think that 18 it&#039;s a good age to start drinking legally.  The more forbidden something is the more we want it and abuse it.

9. peer groups

Answer 4

male, 17

1. never

2. no

3. no

4. no

5. no

6. no-i feel the 21 age (in the u.s., where i live) contributes to the problem of underage drinking-it is a sort of forbidden fruit, especially since the age is 21

7. peer groups

8. parents by far are the biggest source

9. maybe to be rebellious, maybe to look &quot;cool&quot;, though i really can&#039;t say for certain

10. much tougher penalties for underage drinkers, though that is fairly unenforceable.  maybe giving binge drinking more of a focus in health classes-it is currently under-represented compared to higher profile drugs that aren&#039;t as risky due to the difficulty of obtaining them (cocaine, meth, etc)

11. no

Answer 5

23

Because there idiots without any common sense

Raise the taxes on alcohol for people 18-25 then lower it after a certain age.

Peer groups (and they get it w/ fake ids or paying an older person to buy it for them)

They don&#039;t know the risks

They don&#039;t think anything bad will happen to them

Peer pressure.

Harsher punishments and better education on the subject.
