I think what Sarah B. is saying is wrong because when kids ask their parents if they drank when they were a teen most of them say, ¡°Yes.¡± So I think it is okay to have an occasional drink. I know the facts about the bad things that can happen but that¡¯s just when kids don¡¯t think. I think a solution to car accidents is a free taxi-type service like a ¡°Safe Ride.¡± I think it¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t leave the house and if you¡¯re with the same gender. I think that people are going to want to try it. If they don¡¯t like it, they can just stop.

I think Sarah had a descriptive, on-topic piece that explained her thinking very well but I just don¡¯t agree with her.
