Why so Cool?
October 30, 2009
Why so cool? Is drinking alcohol really that cool? Drinking alcohol underage is not only illegal but its dangerous. One beer at this age can cause many problems. Drinking can lead to jail time, trouble with parents, damage to the brain and other parts of your body, and even death. So I ask, why so cool? Only you can answer that,

If your drinking because its "cool" your an idiot, if your drinking because you like the taste of it, and the wonderful effects it brings in moderation go for it, just keep in mind the key word MODERATION, don't try and put down a 26 in one go or you'll end up in the hospital. start off slow. haha if you go overboard its your fault and nobody elses

One beer isn't going to make your liver shrivel up and die, just saying.

Some specialists argue that personal loans help a lot of people to live their own way, just because they are able to feel free to buy necessary stuff. Moreover, different banks present short term loan for young and old people.

Kids use it as a way to fit in or look cool the first time, but after you keep doing it.. an addiction accurs..not just with drinking..but drugs and alcohol too..the best thing to do is never start

same here, the first time i got drunk i lost i dont know how, my jeans and both of my shoes while i was drunk, it wasnt that cool
personally, i think it's a stage. i understand why you wouldn't want to, and that's completely respectable. but i drink. and smoke. and do drugs. all the flippin time. and am i a bad person? nope. i'm a clean cut little girl who sometimes just breaks loose and decides to breath in life all at once in one unforgettable (well often not remembered) night. just understand that it isn't hard to fall into. and it doesn't mean you're gonna end up being a terrible person or being a hobo drug dealer. i have big dreams. but i also accept the fact that i'm young, i make mistakes, and i can stop whenever i want. as long as you can repeat that to yourself and be completely sure that it isn't the you forever, then it doesn't matter. it'll just be another story to tell. "Oh yeah remember when we were in High School and we always got waaaaasted! Hahaha!" that's how i think of it. a funny story 20 years in the future, and a good flippin time.
really gross story: once I sipped a teeny weeny sip of beer and maybe it was rancid or something but it tasted like SLUGS AND DOG POO! (I've eaten slugs before, but not dog poo, and this tasted like SLUGS and what I imagine dog poo would taste like!)

It aint cool to be drinking at this age i agree with what it says drinking could cause you lots of problems that includes death, if any of you guys consume this thing think about the problems that you can get into

It's not really cool it's just that when growing up in a village with alot of alcoholics around, its hard to stay away from that, we used to try it and it kinda made me feel good so i kept trying it it got addicted and i can't help it.
