Desire to drink...?!
Desire to drink...?
im 16 and i have a very strong desire to consume alcohol. the only times i have had an alcoholic drink are on holidays with parental supervision (and i only get a sip or two). i am a straight A student and none of my friends drink. i dont necessarily want to get drunk...just tipsy/buzzed. i know that drinking isnt good for your body and that it can become an addiction. i just have no idea why i want to do this. anyone have suggestions why im like this?
Answers: its probably because there is such a big hype about drinking and partying, and everyone makes a big deal out it. its normal for you to want to drink, and its not bad if you one day give into that desire. as long as it doesn't become a habit you should give it a try. becuase your curious theres nothing wrong with it. Im 17 and i know where your coming from. If you do drink more then a sip just be careful and smart about it becuase its no fun pukin all night and then some in the morning my dear! You have your whole wonderful life ahead of you, don't grow up so fast. because your 16 and you want to explore things that you have been "banned" from family and friends. i was the same way, i cured it by playing sports, it got y mind off of alcohol Maybe because you feel like rebelling? At 16, you're not a child yet not quite an adult although it's easy to feel like one already...just please remember that whenever you think something is cool ask yourself in ten years will it seem as cool as it does now? probably not, some so-called carefree people are really impulsive who do not think things through like they should, also the anticipation of something is generally more exciting I think than the actual action, I mean after you're married for a few years sex isn't a big deal, no one is really talking about it or what they accomplished, same thing with alcohol or anything else...you seem smart, hopefully you're parents don't pressure you too much, I've seen smart people do crazy things because they felt like they had to"perform" by making good grades or even having the right friends, personally I think most kids who are 21 shouldn't drink although it's more about being responsible than age although cops do raid parties from time to time and underage drinking is illegal, you can't lie to a breathalyzer...anyways take care
