Think drinking is fun?; Think again.

OK, so bear with me:

I was supposed to be at a party tonight to celebrate New Year's. I went to the party and it seems fun enough; about 9 people were there. We played DDR and danced to regular music for a while, so I was having a great time.

Then, the hostess, my friend, brought out 3 bottles of Barcardi, Absolut Vodka and a wine coolers. Remember, I'm at a party of 14-17 year olds. They begin to drink and start roaming around the house doing idiotic things. One of the kids went up to a vase and smashed it on the ground, laughing.

My instincts kicked in and I knew in my heart that I had to get out of there. What they are doing is illegal and can ruin their lives. I get my shoes on, grab my overnight bag and head for the front door.

A couple of them start shoving me and call me vulgar names for leaving. I shrug them off and walk out of the house and get into my car. I start to drive away, when I hear police sirens coming from the other side of the street.

Knowing whatever's going to happen next isn't going to be pretty, I drive back to my friend Chris's house where I live.

A half an hour ago, one of my other friends calls me up on her cell sobbing. She said she and everyone at the party received a citation which will stay on their records forever. The parents of the hostess were out at another party and might be arrested for supplying alcohol to minors (it makes sense because the alcohol was out in the open for us to have). Apparently, the neighbords next door saw what was going on through the windows.

And to make things worse, my friend told me her boyfriend got in his car drunk and drove off without her. I can only imagine what's going to happen to him.



Why did I bring this up?

I know most of you on the boards are young teens with your whole life ahead of you. I want you guys to realize that ONE LITTLE MISTAKE can ruin your life, along with other's around you.

I'm no goody-two-shoes, but I can tell you I'm smart enough to know when enough is enough.

You absolutely did the right thing.

Drinking can ruin your life completley, you have to realize the consiquences of such act. May seem fun or harmless to you, but its deeper than that. It can truly ruin you. Avoid it and you can live much more peacefully!

Good example you placed up Jason.

Yes that was totally the right thing to do! Like what my dad always says, " Children always make the wrong decisions and the wrond decision could mess ya all up." I've been taking Dare programs at my school so I know the low down on drinking and driving. It is very dangerous for an underage to drink. I have drunk alchol on accident on Christmas.

Hey I thought it was fruit punch. I didn't drink that much but a cup full. On the drive back home my parents were making fun of me and were asking if I felt tipsy. Some good parents are.

Tipsy AiOrikasa. :rolleyes: Must have been fun to see. One time on the 4th of July, I saw a drink that said Mike's Hard Lemonade and I thought it sounded good so I asked my dad if he could open it and he said, "You know this has acohol in it right?" I felt ashamed after it.

I'm not saying drinking is bad is some aspects; when I'm 21, I'll go to a bar and maybe have one cocktail with friends. It's when you go overboard that makes things go out of control.

Love your avatar. <3

On-topic (sorry, just had to do that): Yeah, it is funny, and lucky, that I decided to leave right at that time. If I had hesitated, I probably would have gotten busted too, even if I didn't touch the alcohol.

You did the right thing Jason! :thumbsup: You were very smart to do it as well.

I can actually say that I HAVE been drunk before, but is was an acciedent, when my Mom told my Nana what had happened she was just about to sue the resteraunt (sp?) owner. (remember, I'm only 12 but back then I was 9 or 10) What had happened was my Mom ordered a double vodka and coke and my daddy had ordered a whiskey and coke, and me a diet coke. The waiter came and gave us our drinks, and back then I used to swig everything down so when the waiter had walked off I drank mine in a few gulps. Next thing I know was my Mom's face screwing up, she had tasted her drink and it wasn't what she had expected. And that was the last thing I remembered. I was told that the funniest thing I had came out with was when it was puring down I pointed out side (head going back and forwards and struggling to keep my eyes open) 'is that the sun or is it just me?' I then started laughing. And when I ran straight into the bathroom door my mom finally realized what had happened. On the way back to the hotel my Mom and Daddy had to hold me up right because I couldn't walk straight. I woke up the next day throwing up and my head was bouncing. I was like that for a few days. And trust me, it's not a nice experiance.

The morrels to the story is 'Don't gulp anything until you know what you've got' and also 'get your Mom to try your drink before you drink it'

But of course my story wasn't nearly as alarming as yours, ALOT of people had to suffer the consquences, in mine I had to suffer and the resteraunt (sp?) was very near getting sued.

Let Jason's story be a lesson to you all. And remember to be as wise as he was. And most important of all...use your brain when it comes to times like that, follow what Jason's said and you'll be OK ^^ :booya:

Thx, but i didn't make it. I wanted a linkin park avatar and i have no idea how to make them, so i just got off of avatarity.com (handy little site).

On-topic, I've never been drunk but it sounds like a nasty experience.
Maybe you shouldn't have gulped all that drink down at once Satans'.

I'm with Crazygirl on this. I would have done the samething. You did the right thing by leaving and not getting into trouble. I DO realize such things is really stupid. The law needs to do something about this. ^^;

Good on ya, Jason. It's good to see teens your age being responsible about drinking. Being 'pissed' or 'hammered' is overrated anyway. Not as fun as everyone makes it out to be, and leads to bad things.

Someone I know used to do those things, but then their senses kicked in...

You did the right thing, as everyone said. One time while I was writing a story, and posted it on a website, someone e-mailed me saying 'Where you high/drunk while writing these stories? COme on, I'm on tobbaco!'

That just...amazed me.

Good for you, Jason. Of course, I'm only 12, so what do I know?

Reading all those stories about underage people doing drugs, I wonder: did they ever pay attention to those school programs they do? I mean, every year, we have at least five different groups telling us not to do drugs. (by the time I go to high school, my pen pal says, they're going to be talking about some OTHER interesting things but I'm going to shut up about that now.)

I've drank beer accidently before too. I thought it was lemonade which was pretty stupid of me but I think I was only 7 or something. Anyways, I took a big gulp, but before I could swallow it, I spat it out on one of my dad's guest's face that were over at our house. (why would we have beer in the first place?) It was pretty embarrassing. I didn't like the taste either, so I don't think I'm going to drink until I'm about 50 years old or something.

Yah. Anyways...
