Drinking
My friends hardly ever drink, I mean the only time they have is like on holidays and even then it's not much. We're 14/15 years old, and our "parties" usually consist of sitting around in someone's basement. Someone brought up the idea of drinking... I've always been against it, having an alcoholic parent at home, especially at such a young age. I do wish we had more fun though. I'm scared of it but I'm sick of being a goody 2 shoes all the time, but I don't want to take this to the extreme. Help?

Mk, so the thing is... just don`t drink. A) It doesn`t make it funner and B) If you rly don`t want people to think yer lame and stuff just be all, "Oh yeah we had that shit at the last party i was at and i pretty much barfed up my guts. No thanks :]"
SImple as that =]

Don't drink just to have more fun... just sitting in someones basement and adding drinks won't make it anymore fun, trust me. With alcoholism in your family, you are more likely to fall into that and 14/15 is a young age to start anyway. if you need anything else, lemme know, i've been through this with several people. <3

NO!!!! drinking alcohol isnt the only way to have a good time!! the only thing alcohol does for you is poison your blood and harden your kidney's!!! i wouldnt do it if i was you. drinking can be very dangerous you say "ill only have one drink" then you end up having 10 bazillion and die in a car crash. i dont think thats very fun.

The fact is that a lot of people do drink, but it doesn't make things more fun. It makes people do stupid things, and they regret it later but it's too late. You could have a whole group of people mad at you for something you did while you were drunk...and you won't even be able to remember what it is.
If you really want to drink, set limits on how much you'll drink. Having an alcoholic parent makes you much more likely to become an alcoholic so be careful.
Not drinking doesn't make you a goody two shoes.

if you dont want to drink; dont drink.
now that sounds simple; but i know it's not.
i have a lot of friends that drink; and a lot that don't. and we still all hang out and chill. I drink on occasion; and trust me it's not like we "look down" on our friends that dont; and nights i dont drink; no one says anything about it.
you can still have fun @ parties w/ drinking w/o drinking
