It's not healthy and you might get addicted.

You should stop, you are very young to be drinking EVERY week. One in a while, on special occasions is a little acceptable, but every week??

Answer 8

honey that is really not healthy, and you may be starting to develop a habit, so duh this is not a good thing at all!

Answer 9

Well, go easy. Everybody drinks as a teenager, just know your limits and stay below them. If yor falling over or throwing up, its a good idea to not drink that ammount again. Healthwise, its not good but it wont kill you. One a week is fine, as long as your not getting plastered out of your mind every time. And, for oter people reading this answer: Teenagers drink, its a fact of life. If your responsible with it (And teenagers are a h**l of a lot more responsible than people give us credit for), youll be fine. A litre of vodka every day and you might be in trouble. 4 cans (500mls of 5%) a week? It wont cut time off your life

Answer 10

Stop drinking alcohol it is bad for your body.

Answer 11

It's harmful for everyone.  

Answer 12

It will harm your liver and your brain cells. Drinking is really dangerous when you're younger because you are more likely to form a habit and that's never good. Drinking in the long run really screws up people. Trust me i've seen it.

And not everyone drinks as a teen. I'm 17 and I don't drink, I'm the friend who makes sure none of my friends do stupid things and drive them around so they don't crash

Answer 13

idk but its bad for anyone.

Answer 14

If you are doing this once a week, then you are abusing alcohol, and while it may not stunt your growth, IT WILL MAKE YOU ILL- with hepatitis, and a condition called cirrhosis, which means "fatty liver" and is a prelude to your getting liver CANCER, pal. YOU are WAY TOO YOUNG to be drinking anyway- and if whoever is supplying you with alcohol gets caught, it will mean PRISON for them and REHAB for you.

I would suggest you tell someone what you are doing, before it's too late. If you get cancer from this, you are going to regret what you are doing now- big time. How'd you like to wake up some morning a few years from now, and go look in the mirror, and see a face with yellow skin and yellow eyes staring back at YOU?? That condition is called jaundice, and it means your liver isn't working any more. The yellow pigment in your skin is from the excess bile which your system can't process- bile which will damage not only your liver, but your other organs as well. The next step after this is surgery, chemotherapy to try and treat the underlying cancer, or possibly even transplant surgery if a donor can be found and you live long enough to get through it. A lot of liver transplant patients DON'T- and this is something you need to think about the next time you go to open that vodka bottle. Sounds scary, doesn't it?? Well, let me tell you, it IS SCARY. Alcoholism is NO JOKE, pal. It can destroy your life, and the lives of those you care about. You need help, and you need it now, and I hope you get it.

Enough said.  

Answer 15

yeah i think so

at least thats what everyone tells me

but i really dont give a ****

lmfao :D  

Answer 16

It is bad for your body. And to the person that says all teens drink. They are wrong. Maybe they only hung out with the bad crowd. I know plenty of people in my school who don't drink. And everyone can point out the probably 40 out of 2000 who do.  

Answer 17

Drinking is harmful for anyone at any age.

Answer 18

UMMM SWEETY IM 15 TOO... I GREW UP IN A HOUSE FULL OF DRUNKS AND A HOUSE FULL OF ADDICTS I STARTED DRINKING AT THE AGE OF 8 AND NOW ME BEING 15 I CAN GO THREW A BOTTLE AND A HALF OF TEQUiLLA 1800 NO LIE SO IF I COULD I WOULD STOP BUT ITS HARD BECAUSE I GREW UP WITH IT AND THERES NOT MUCH MORE I CAN SAY I REGRET IT NOW BUT IM ON A 12 STEP PROGRAM TO STOP SO.....YEAHH  

Answer 19

Over time heavy drinking will cause brain damage. Even in your twenties your brain is still developing. Don't be stupid.  

Answer 20

yeah! It f***s up your memory and the process of thinking and im not talking about when your drunk. Afterwards if you drink alot, you can get a bit slow

Answer 21

of course its too young.

i mean, whats the point of getting drunk once a week? you don't need to! especially at 15! it's just completely unnecessary.

and i agree with everyone else about your liver, just stop..

Answer 22

Drinking isn't exactly a good thing no matter HOW old you are. It kills brain cells... starting young I see...

Don't you have homework to be doing instead?

btw:

I am a teenager and I have never drank alcohol... way to assume things.
