What is a good age to drink/get drunk?

Question

What is a good age? Just want to know please. Me and my friends are curious?

Answer 1

I do drink socially and I am underage, but really drinking complicates things rather than making it fun.  Sure, it's amusing to watch people stumble around drunk and do strange things (I one time attempted a handstand and then fell, hitting my foot on a nearby doorknob) but the cons outweigh the pros.  Let me make a list:

Pros:

~Amusing

~Some people will consider it "cool"

~Excuse to jump hot men/women

Cons:

~Obviously, the risk of over-drinking and getting alcohol poisoning (it does happen, my friend got a very mild case at my birthday party.  We had to take care of her and it was not fun)

~Say things that are usually secret and that you normally wouldn't say.  It becomes harder to hold in, and you might end up saying something crazy like admitting your love for your best friend of the opposite s*x or saying that you have a crush on your friend's crush (both I have done)

~Doing things you don't remember (such as sexually touching friends of the opposite s*x.  My friend also did this the night she got alcohol poisoning)

~Jumping hot men/women (as aforementioned) then being rejected and therefore humiliated.

~Doing things you regret and didn't stop yourself from doing because your decision-making power is diminished.

~All gatherings begin to include alcohol.  The gathering is not considered "cool" or "fun" unless alcohol is involved.

~The risk of getting caught.

As you can see, the cons can cause very unfavorable results.  Seriously, I have experienced all of these things.  It's your choice when you start to include alcohol in your life, but I'd say to try and postpone it as long as possible.  You can have tons of fun without alcohol.  I know, I sound like a big square, but I'm just telling you in a been there/done that kind of way.

Hope I helped :)
