Where do you stand on teen drinking and did you drink as a teen?

Its just i know alot of teens who drink

I do teen drink. And I think it's fine provided we're not going out and getting wrecked which I used to do.
My turning point came when I completely blacked out. My mum told me I couldn't even turn my head to be sick, and that if she hadn't been there she thought I would have died.
This scared me witless.
The worst thing was my mum had given me the bottle of wine I drunk. She's not irresponsible.. she knew I had sources who would often get me a bottle of vodka if I couldn't get anything else. I told her it was for between a few of us as well. Sadly, I had it myself and didn't have anything to eat that day (because I was at a friends .. not so I'd get drunk)
I was 14 then. I was paraletic.. I had to get put home in a taxi and carried home by my dad. If I had died.. how guilty would my mum have felt?
I saw something very similar happen to a good friend.
Maybe if we'd been educated better about alcohol. Maybe if we'd seen the terrifying consequences. Maybe we wouldn't have ended up like that.
I think schools should do more to show the alarming risks alcohol causes. Not everyone will listen. But it's worth it if even a few people listen.

Also my mum told me 2 real life stories.
Her friend had a party, and another of her friends tried to skip through a field as a shortcut home. Halfway she must have feel asleep. She died from the cold (it was winter).
Another time a different friend got drunk and fell asleep on a doorstep. Someone found him in the morning and rushed him to hospital. Luckily he survived.

Things like this need to stop..
