First off I have to disagree that you are too young to drink unless it's a glass of wine with your parents. You are too young to drink full stop. My mother has been an alcoholic since she was 15, she ended up with a lot of bad men, became an extremely bad, abusive, neglectful parent, ended up doing marijuana and speed, has broken 7 bones while under the influence, ended up living in a car, spent her 40th birthday in rehab, and is now at the age of 42 living in Salvation Army accommodation. My mother also suffers from agoraphobia and depression, and drinking at such a young age can affect the proper development of your brain, causing you to be more at risk of these illnesses. My mother RUINED her life from drinking at such a young age, don't let that happen to you. Parents don't always know best, my aunty gave my 2 teenage cousins a bottle of bourbon each, even after years of me telling them the risks and them telling me they wouldn't drink underage, they are now on their way to being yet more alcoholics in my family. My mother was so mad when she found out about it, she said she would have called the police if she'd known. Until, that is, I told her that she had done the EXACT same thing for another cousin while she was drunk, something that she does not for a second remember, and she was pretty shattered to find out. The only person who knows all the things she did and was she was like is me, I have to carry that on my own.
Sorry to lecture, but I PASSIONATELY hate alcohol, it's evil stuff and serves NO benefit to anyone.
