Underaged drinking

High school drinking is very common in the world today. It only gets worse as you get older, especially with college students. I know someone who had a very negative experience with alcohol. My good friend Michelle was at her 21 year old boyfriend’s college for the weekend. She attended one of the local parties with him and was influenced by him his friends to drink, even though they knew she was underage. They began playing a drinking game and it ended up lasting about an hour straight. Since she was not used to that much alcohol consumption, she vomited and passed out. She, like the boy in the story, got rushed to the hospital and had to get her stomach pumped. Like that wasn’t punishment enough, she was in so much trouble with her parents that even her best friends couldn’t talk to her. She hasn’t used alcohol at all after that incident, in fact, just the smell of it makes her queasy. Seeing her like that in the hospital made me never want to be in that position. Alcohol should only be used responsibly and for people who are of age. It should be drank socially, and not to get drunk.
