The amount of drinking that goes on in younger people really pisses me off. Now, I'm not saying this for the usual reasons like "It's damaging to their health". With that,I have the same stance as I do to smoking. If you're going to do it, fair play. As long as you don't bother me with it, whatever. I just think there are better ways to kill yourself. Anyway. I don't like kids drinking excessively, mainly because, they don't know what the fuck they're doing. You get these alcopops, which they drink just to get drunk, because they taste nice. Well, you know what? That's fucking cheating! What's the point, if you can't savour the alcohol? If you're not old enough to enjoy the taste of alcohol, then you shouldn't be drinking. I tried one of these things once. And you know what? I may as well have drank a bottle of squash. It was that kind of sickly sweetness. Just as if they'd taken a J2O and shoved a load of vodka in it, to disguise the vodka. Yes, I'm stating the obvious. That's what they are, I know. It's still wrong. It's probably hampering their ability to eventually taste alcohol as well.. It's all just so asinine.
Of course, you get those who make excuses for it. It's fun, for example. Yes, I can see how not knowing what the fuck you're doing, possibly making stupid mistakes if you happen not to be with a trustworthy SOBER friend. Or maybe, it helps with the stress. You're in fucking secondary school! I did secondary school\! there's not that much stress! You wait till you leave! Then you'll know stress.
Just to make things clear, I've got no problem with these people drinking if they do it...*sigh*. If they do it responsibly. Don't get fucked off your face for the hell of it. Don't make up excuses as to why you should
Basically, what I'm saying is : Don't cheat when it comes to your drink. If you're going to get drunk, don't be stupid about it, and be adult about it. It's an adult drink, so deal with it like one. Don't cover up the alcohol. Savour it. Learn it. Love it. Eventually you will be rewarded with a developed palate.
And then you can get wasted properly.
I'm out.
