Why do teens these days think that getting wasted/drunk is cool?

[QUOTE="JIT93"]Yeah, I get what you are talking about. I drank before when I was 3, I hated the taste and I blacked out at a party. Then I was 4 years old, yeah, getting wasted was fun but isn't there more alternatives to having fun?robobie

Is the 1 button broke on your laptop or were you really drinking at 4:S

Breaking the law has always made teenagers cool. Its called rebellion.

When has this been new?

Teens think getting wasted/drunk is cool because they're wasted/drunk.

Yeah. I don't understand it either.

I hear people at my college saying things like "OH man, I got soo drunk last night!" as if it were something to be proud of.

I'll give you the fact that bragging about drinking if your 15-16 is pretty annoying, but for all those that say they "don't want topass out, puke, get headaches, and not remember anything" it's just ignorant. The people that say this obviously have never drank before, and they slight chance they did, they couldn't control themselves and got completely messed up. I (18 years old) drink on a regular occasion with my friends, probably once or twice a week, and we have a great time. Ya, sometimes someone drinks a little too much and gets sick, but it'll happen to everyone. None of us do it to look cool, we just think it's fun...and it is. I hate how people think they're better than others just because they "don't drink or do drugs". That's your choice, fine, but don't try to act high and mighty just because you think you're right. In my opinion, drinking and drugs are more fun than sprite and coca-cola, but that's just me.

You've really got me (heh-heh). Anyways, I really have no idea. I have some friends who love to drink until they pass out. I don't get what's so fun about headaches and vomiting.

I get drunk once a week and it feels sooooo goooood.

Again with the stereotype that everyone who drinks wakes up with a hangover and vomits everywhere.

atleast with boys is to show whose manlier and more rebel, and cause they think is cool

same with drugs

Because it's illegal. I wouldn't say it makes them cool however....LJS9502_basic

Maybe.. but they drink alcohol to get wasted, like I said, I rarely come across teens that do it to look cool.

Getting wasted/high is fun. That's why.

Drinking alcohol doesn't make you any cooler than if you liked Sprite or Coca Cola. th3warr1or

See this is why I just don't drink. I like being straight-edge. People these days are idiots. I don't understand why you need to be drunk to have a good time. I have never been drunk and have had many great times.

I think the ones that are drinking themselves into a level where they just collapse are. Over drinking aint fun, You can't even remember anything.

its always been like that

I honestly don't understand the need to feel tipsy etc...as i said before..I'm not saying I'm better for not drinking underage...i just don't understand why people think it's so much fun...and i've tried beer and wine before as well as tequila...don't particularly like the taste of any of them...

You never remember anything, you always get too drunk. :P
I usually remember everything, it's different with different people.

They do it to fit in. I don't see why people are afraid to be themselves. . .

Cuz them a-dults like 2 k33p da booze to themselfs. Down with laws!!!

For attention :|

I'm a teen and I drink most weekends, but I don't do it for attention. Me and my friends don't have the need to take photos to 'look really cool on myspace'.

People do that? I do it for the sake of getting wasted and having a good time.Immortalica
