Highschool-drinking

I really just noticed how much of an influence going to highschool is on drinking. I have drank almost everynight except for a select few days were i was still hung over, or i got in trouble and had to stay in this past 8 months.... Its like, if it was weed i really doubt it would be as serious but its like. Im not even close to being a big drinker at my school. I really think our generation is gonna be fucked in the long term, plus global warming is just gonna sand bag our kids. I just guess i would never of thought that everyone would party so much everyday. Does anyone else go to a school like this, its just redic. I can see like why you would drink in the summer and stuff, but onece you start drinking in the morning at the mountain on the lift its like whaaaaaaat the fuck is going through your head. Its really funny to see all the kids who try to stay sober and the only thing they cant quit is alchohal. I have a couple of friends who got into Coke and its supposivley easier to quit than an alchohal addiction. But yeah, this turned out really long.

Alcohols a more addictive substance than a lot of things..
But just try to party it up like once or twice a week man, it keeps shit in perspective.

i don't really understand the point of this thread. kids drink and do drugs, they always have. just think about all the drugs and shit your parents did if they were in highschool in the late 60's to 70's. were they screwed for life?

i don't get the people who go out and get drunk every night. don't get me wrong now..i enjoy alcoholic beverages, but i don't understand what the whole attraction is to getting drunk other then to say "hey i got drunk! and i'm underage!" i honestly don't find being drunk fun at all. but maybe thats just me. most of the people i went to high school with that got drunk at parties got drunk to do just that..get drunk. i find it pointless. i dunno...

that's why i decided not to start drinking in the first place. when i had my first real drink of alcohol i realized that that wasn't something that i wanted to do. haven't had a drink since.

somebody did.
somebody just doesnt feel any different after graduating.
somebody is still getting into college
somebody is still following his dreams
somebody is going to make a good living
somebody is still going to be generally happy
that is all.

drinking is put on a huge pedestal.  i drank my first time in 8th grade, but in a responsible manner because i was interested.  now kids are just abusing it.  i agree with you 100%.  the saddest thing is, is that now i see the whole drinking thing getting backed up to 6th and 7th graders.  its terrible, i had a 12 year old come up to me and ask me for alcohol, so bad.  i think weed is just a way smarter choice in my opinion, and less scummy.

that makes no sense. if you are a happy person and look at the positive then things shouldn't get you down. i've had shit in the past happen that was bad but i never think about them till people like you say things like you did to remind me of them.

it all depends on the person. some things are bad enough to where your mind blocks those memories. other things had such a bad impact but changes you in a way you can never forget. its just another way people are made into who they are, their personality and such.

word dude i actually partied hard in like 8th grade but then i realized how there was no point in it and now just stick to ruit and dont drink otherwise, because i think its a fun game in general but yeah my friends are so core drinkers that they cant have fun without alcohal and im wicked happy that i chose to sober up because theyve gotten the bad rep. plus my mom is wicked flexible about letting me go out like i have no curfew and shit becuase she knows i dont drink

this is what I'm unsure of too. people make out alcohol and drugs to be such a huge problem in our schools. did this not happen in every other generation, as you mentioned, woodstock the whole 'hippie' decade and all that shit. I want to know how different it truly is now compared to then, maybe someone a bit older can clarify this for me. is it just that these problems are more out in the open due to myspace or facebook pics and the medias attention on it or cops cracking down on it?

Coke is so expensive. My friend wasted $400 on that shit and then he decided to quit and he was always craving it.

i realised this yesterday when i (sober) was sleeping and my drunk friend comes home at 3 in the morning and starts tickeling me and when i was screaming for him to let me sleep just kept at it and started saying "LOOK LOOK! he's sleep talking"... but i was very much awake, which was probably the gayest experience ever, and inlightened me to how much of an ass hole people can be drunk

it does seem pointless. enjoy it, down just down a shitload just to get drunk.

after doing some barhopping (basically) around new york city with my uncle giving me some alcohol (never that much, i'm underage)I gained a new appreciation for drinking. It sounds stupid, but basically he was showing us how to just chill and enjoy one.

my school is kinda the opposite, at least my class and group is. all my friends smoke, i managed to go my entire sophmore year without getting drunk. id have a beer or two rarely, but mainly i just smoked alot of weed, and thats all my friends did too really.

partying all the time is overrated. Its good to party hard when the party is actually worth it, but i see no point in getting fucked up every night. I only drink a couple times a month and with most of my friends its a couple times a week or every day, and its not really all that appealing. Save it for a special occasion or when you know its gonna be a dope party.

im a pussy because i just relized how much the kids in my town drink?

my school's like that but with weed instead of booze. people party all the time but since where i live was home to the biggest marijuana grow op in canada, everybody smokes. dont get me wrong though, the majority of my class are wel on their way to being full blown alcoholics. someone above said the highschool booze scene is immature and i've always wondered when i would realize that for myself and start to not drink to get drunk and stuff. i guess i just do it for the memories i make when i'm drunk, and yah somewhow i can remember my escapades but its like an abreviated version.

yeah same. i hate the taste of it but also i've never drank before in my life. I hangout with kids that drink n shit and i dont mind it at all and i dont lose any respect for them. I'd like to be able to tell my kids i've never drank illegaly before so that i dont have to worry about them when they get younger.

i was from an area a lot like that.. but like.. i never drank, i never wanted to. and to be honest most of the girls in that area thought it was awesome that i didn't drink and party hard, the only ones that didn't think it was that cool of me well.. they were hardcore alchaholics, and i couldn't have cared less what they thought of me

on the other hand i just moved and i start school next week, so i have no clue what this area is like as far as drinking goes.

my school was more of a weed and e school, there was plenty of drinking, but i was considered a heavy drinker and i only got drunk maybe twice a week tops during the school year, and not even once a week during the summer.

Yeah, and another thing is all of the drunk driving accidents my town has, its fucking rediculous. I lost 4 friends this past school year, one is in jail now because he was driving and the kid that died was in the passenger seat, both plastered. Now i just found out about 3 hours ago that another kid i met like a month ago named jess died tonight from drinking and driving. Idunno if its just reno but this is redik

You sir, are on your way to being an alcoholic.


This thread makes me think of the other thread, on lowering the drinking age to 18. It is obviously clear that kids in America were brought up to abuse alcohol, rather than appreciate it. Yeah, it's the "norm" in high school to drink. I remember ditching the school dance to go hang out at a friends house instead. But I sure am glad I never got so into it, that when I woke up with a hangover, I just drank more to feel better. Drinking as a teenager is a part of growing up, but there's an extent to it. And I'm sorry Nick, but I think you need some help. That's just ridiculous.


You guys are your own person, no one makes your decisions for you. And if they do, then you need to grasp of hold of the fact that it is your life. And only you can steer it in the direction you want to go. Tired of all the high school partying? Then distance yourself from it. How many of you actually have good grades? How many of you pay attention and use your mind to it's fullest? How many of you are more concerned with the grade on the the test you just took, rather then who's throwing the party? Hmm....?
