i am a christian and i have never drank but now i kind of want to, should I
Question Posted Monday December 20 2010, 12:12 am
My parents would not care, and i would be smart about how i did it. No boys around, with close friends that i trust, and no driving!
But so many people know that i am a christian and that is bad way to be an example, not that id tell people. I would feel like i couldnt tell anyone and by hidin g it i would be fake. But in the same sense i wnt to have fun nd stop bieng the good girl always.

They can! I'm happy to hear you plan to
drink responsibly, but,drinking just to fit in or go along with the crowd, is not the way to go.
Take being a christian clear out of it. Many Christians drink. You just want to fit in. How
many of these people who party and drink do you
really seek the approval of? Is drinking and partying the lifestyle you really want to associate yourself with? Those are the questions you should be asking yourself. Once you start, you will not stop. Once you start you'll be expected to act just the way all of them act.
You may not see it now, but being the one who goes her own way & doesn't do things just because everyone else does them is awesome. It makes you unique. Best of all, you don't have to lie and hide anything from anyone.
Curiosity is a strong pull to do things. Try to look at the big picture before you make a decision to do something you know is wrong for you. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

If anyone else found out, yeah, it would be a bad example for a Christian. I see it all the time and it shows people, "Oh, so much of a Christian she is."
You can do whatever you like but just think about it. You also know that if you decide to drink now it could escalate into going to parties and getting drunk because you're starting to feel comfortable with it.
Well, like I said before, do whatever you would like but where do you set your standards? Good luck! [ lightoftruth923's advice column | Ask lightoftruth923 A Question ]
