don't do it! never try drinking. not even a little. because even if it's a little drink it'll still have a big effect on your health. and if people tell you to just say "no". i know it might be hard but you won't regret it. good luck. and hope you don't ever drink since you're underage.

dont do it. i can already tell that its somethig you dont want to do. so dont do it. faking it (which is impossible) will just look dumb. be yuorself, and dont drink.

I don't like to drink, and ever since I can remember I'll choose a soda instead. If you set a good example, you might be surprised at some others that will choose to refrain. Keep in mind though, even if you are not drinking and if the party is full of minors, you could all get in trouble with the law. The ultimate best would be to avoid these parties all together, or tell your friends to make sure they include you in the non drinking activities.

The easiest way to "fake drink" is drink coke or sprite in a plastic cup. If you're able to make your drink yourself, most people will think you drinking a mixed drink.
But as a parent, I have to say that you really shouldn't go to too many of those parties. You have the possibility of the police showing up. You could not make it home, if you go home with someone who was drinking. And then there is the fact that the legal drinking age is 21.
The funny thing about being a parent, we're not trying to keep you from having fun. We honestly care about you and want to keep you safe from harm.

My advice is simple, don't drink. It's the same as smoking. You don't have to show your friends that you drink alcohol. That doesn't make you cool or not. Take smoking for example, if you tried smoking just because other people were doing it, well I think you get the point. Drinking is ok, when it is legal, but you have to drink responsibly. Since you didn't identify your gender, I don't know if your a male or female, but females generally can't hold to much alcohol. Anyways, I hope you make the right decision.

Well, if you are to drink a shot, hold an empty beer bottle in your hand and spit it back in the bottle pretending you are taking a drink. Good Luck and have fun be responsible!!

Hunny they may sound fun but in the long run you will most likely regrat doing it. If you don't feel comfertable drinking say its not you you dont have to drink to fit in or be "cool" Juz be youself and never forget that dont try to be someone your not! Hope this helps Good luck in the future!

hopeless_n_indiana answered Saturday June 3 2006, 9:12 pm:
yes these parties look fun

yes it may seem like EVERYBODY is going

and EVERYBODY is drinking

but when the police come and give breathalizers, do you really want to be EVERYBODY?

Be your own person and stick to your morals, underage drinking happens, but so does getting caught, and i dont think one night of fun is worth losing your parents trust and getting in trouble with the law.

and if you do drink, drink responsibly

i really wouldnt suggest going because just last night i went to a party and we ALL got busted.. the cops came and everything.. i mean its not really worth getting caught ..but to fake drink or whatever.. you can hold a beer and bring it where ever you walk and it might seem like your drinking it.. but if theres alot of people they really wouldnt notice..

tubes_is_tubular answered Saturday June 3 2006, 8:40 pm:
Personally, I wouldn't drink. Because if everyone gets caught, it would be awful hard to explain why you were there. I think that you shouldn't go. Hey, you could even throw your own party and have no drinking. You might start something new!

If you dont want to drink alot then dont. You dont have to drink just to be cool. And if you dont wanna drink then just dont go to the party at all.

You don't have to drink at a party. Hell, if it's feasible that you could drive someone home, offer to be a designated driver, or even just lie and say that you are someone's.

If you feel like you have to drink, don't do any shots, or drink any liquer (Vodka, Rum, even mixed drinks with them). As a general rule of thumb, you'll get screwed up if you do those your first time, because you have no idea how quickly or how much it will effect you. Get one cup of beer and just sip it throughout the night. If these parties are that big, no one will notice you've had it the whole time. They'll all be drunk.

Hopefully you have a good time without drinking, but man, high school parties with drugs and whatnot usually suck anyway.
