[quote=Anonymous]A lot of these responses are not surprising given the messed up relationship so many adults have with alcohol. It is glorified in our culture and marketed specifically to women and there is very little thoughtful drinking that goes on. I think moderate drinking is fine but when it becomes the norm then we are talking about addiction. It's a slippery slope and alcohol is very addictive. If you are giving teens alcohol, you are not setting them up well to learn how to have fun without it. Furthermore, you are getting them addicted early--even if there is not an immediate physical addiction there will be a psychological one. Finally, time they spend intoxicated is time they are not spending developing social skills and coping skills. They are simply masking difficult feelings by getting drunk. [/quote]
