[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Drinking is fun.[/b] Has everyone forgotten this? That is why there is so much teen drinking. [/quote]

I don't think it's fun. I don't now, and I never have, including when I was a teenager.[/quote]

You might not but most adults enjoy drinking because its fun![/quote]

Probably fewer people drink -- and the ones who do drink, drink less -- than you think they do.

According to the 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), 86.4 percent of people ages 18 or older reported that they drank alcohol at some point in their lifetime; 70.1 percent reported that they drank in the past year; 56.0 percent reported that they drank in the past month.

In 2015, 26.9 percent of people ages 18 or older reported that they engaged in binge drinking in the past month ("binge drinking" = a pattern of drinking that brings blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels to 0.08 g/dL, typically after 4 drinks for women and 5 drinks for men in about 2 hours). 7.0 percent reported that they engaged in heavy alcohol use in the past month (binge drinking on 5 or more days in the past month.).

If you're an adult out of college who gets drunk regularly, you may have a problem with alcohol.

Meh, disagree. I think there are plenty of people who live a certain lifestyle that could stop drinking at any time and have no problems but they choose not to. Look 4 drinks in a night is this- cocktail at the bar waiting for friends or table to be ready, 2 glasses of wine with dinner in which you eat apps, entrees  deserts or combos of that, a night cap at a different bar  or just ONE beer at a show/concert after dinner. That's not a problem with alcohol IMO. [/quote]
