drinking
I basically had no clue what to put this question under, but here it is.
I'm 14 years old & I've been drunk 3 times.
I'm not a bad drunk at all.
I'm a person who's wound up pretty tight & I use alchohol to do things I don't even think about doing unless I'm drunk. Not that it's bad I just don't have the guts to do anything.
I guess I'm asking if this is a bad thing.
I mean, am I like, sinning or anything?
I'm not that religious but I'm still nervous.
I only drink around family, I wouldn't think of doing it around anyone else.
And if it is bad... how can I stop?
I don't really even like alcohol, I like the effect.
Thank you.

You are right to be concerned about alcohol. There is a high risk of poisoning at such a young age, and alcohol will often leave a person feeling more depressed afterwards. There are community programs available for teen alcohol users and you can go to any meeting anonymously. Your local area phone book or calling information should help locate one near you. Some schools offer on campus meetings and you should ask a teacher or local police or sheriff office for resources if you can't find them. You won't get into trouble for asking for help. Using alcohol to deal with stress is common, but only a temporary fix. It helps you zone out, but also kills brain cells and impairs judgement. If you think you can't quit on your own, please get support from a group. Only God can judge what is and is not a "sin," but we are his children according to the Bible, and he wants what is best for us. You are using drinking to mask other problems and those problems need to come out into the open and get dealt with. We cannot hide from our stress, we have to master it.

Majority of churches say that it is wrong. Alcohol doesnt only make you reveal unwanted secrets but it also makes you more aggressive. The alcohol goes in your blood-stream and if you drink enough of it you can get alchol poisoning. Causually drinking isn't so bad but getting drunk isn't the answer to getting more loose. I am really wound up and i do things I love to do to get me to wound down. Certain things make you wound but others help you relax. I suggest casually drink but not too much.

it is bad ton start drinking at a young age, becuz then you get too caught up with it. it`s okay to drink occasionally, but you have to learn not to get drunk. my uncle started drinking young, and he`s been having drinking problems for a long long time now. his girlfriend has been with him for like 8 years, she`s stuck with him, even tho he was acting bad and treating her wrong, she always took him back. well my point is, now he`sm in rehab, and hopefully that will help. drinking is very bad, unless you know how to control it. either way you shouldn`t drink especially if you don`t even like it that much.

I`ll tell you this;
Last friday night, Friday September 29, 2006.
This girl, Casey, used to be my best friend, she's 13, she went to our high school's football game and brought alcohol. She and her other friend got so drunk, I had to go get her mom. She was taken away in an ambulance, the cops told me she had thirty minutes left to live if me and my friend Sarah hadn't of told her mom in time.
So you`re probably thinking "well I don't get drunk like that" Well, neither did she. She's been drunk before, but off of Lemonade and alcohol and she never took it serious, until the night she was predicted to die in less time then it takes to watch an epsidoe of SpongeBob. She just happened to get caught up in the idea and took the alcohol too far. You'll never know what will happen to you.
Think about it; it's bad.
Drinking has caused so many more people that love and care about to be so severly hurt. I cried almost three days straight because I had to see the girl I called my Best friend almost dead, with her eyes rolled back into her head, and a cop holding her neck cause she couldn`t handle it herself. You NEVER want to experience what we had to go thru, if you do, you deserve to have that kind of punishment.
I recommend a counseler.
She's working on that now, already
she's completley changed her life around.

You are sinning. The Bible says somewhere i think in Proverbs that wine is a mocker and anybody who gets intoxicated by it is a fool. something along those lines. then i think the Bible says drunkards dont inherit the Kingdom of The Lord aka Heaven. If your family drinks and you only drink with them, fine. Dont get drunk though, try a glass or one beer a day. Let your family restrict you by not letting you have more than what you can take. As you get older it will take more alchol to make you drunk and you may do stupider things when you get drunk. By then you'll need proffessionall help

its not bad...moderation's the key here.

I think you should limit it... i don't think you were "drunk" because like you said, it was around family. just don't do it. people look down on you for doing crazy things when you are drunk because we all know that people exaggerate and also, being drunk isn't an excuse for bad behavior. if you're just having a glass with your family then fine but its not like you can go out and do crazy things cuz you'll just end up looking retarded but just to do it, fine. know your limits and dont try to defy them.. <3

You're probably drinking to de-stress and get away from it all. This is a bad habit to get into and I'd suggest trying to stop. An occassional glass won't do you much harm though, but you may want to find another way to relieve stress.
For example, a well-timed sugar-high is considerably less dangerous, has the same basic effect (at least for awhile) and has less of a hangover :]
However, since you only drink around family, I don't see this as a big deal, so long as it doesn't get out of hand or anything. You're obviously not hiding it from your parents so they know what's going on, and will be able to tell if it becomes a serious issue and you need help.. you know?
hope I helped!
