advice
I have to do a school project on a controversial/ethical subject and I wanted to choose something other than the death penalty or abortion. I have chosen to do underage drinking. As part of research for the project we have been asked to gather different points of view about the topic and I decided Advicenators would be an ideal place to get some of these opinions/experiences.
If you could take a few minutes to answer these questions/give any additional infomation then it would be very much appreciated.
Did you drink when you were underage? (I know that the legal age varies in different countries, so just go with whatever the legal age is where you are). If so, how often? Where and how did you obtain the alcohol? I'm focussing a large section of the paper on the use of fake ID/asking older friends etc to buy alcohol for you, so if you have any experiences with that, then please let me know in as much detail as possible.
Thank you.
I drank twice when I was underage (18 & 20). The first time was so little it wasn't even worth it. I regret having done it. The alcohol was given to me by other underage friends in their dorm room, located in our freshmen only college dorm. They obtained the alcohol from an older friend who purchased it legally. The second time was at a private party. The people there were ages 17-20, and the alcohol was purchased legally by the hostess' older sister.
One particular party I remember very clearly because of how the alcohol was obtained. My friend and I didn't drink, but everyone else did and alcohol was available and offered to us. EVERYONE at the party was underage and the alcohol was provided by the hostess' PARENTS. As much of and whatever anybody wanted. It was terrible. Not only that, but they had a swimming pool and someone almost drowned because they went to bed and didn't pay any attention to or care what we were doing.
