Underage students are unprepared to withstand the pressure to drink alcohol.
Have the courage to declare that you don't drink when people pressure you to do so.
Choosing not to drink makes people feel like an outsider, especially if you are underage.
Alcohol is a poison.
Willingly filling your body with toxins sounds senseless, but it still remains a popular thing to do.
The younger you are the more dangerous the effects of alcohol could be for you.
People who choose to drink while underage tend to respond to alcohol differently than those who are of legal drinking age.
Usually young people get drunk twice as fast and don't have the wisdom to know when to stop.
CNN noted that teen binge drinking gave teens a higher risk of becoming alcoholics when they get older.
The Surgeon General gave these statistics of the 5,000 deaths of under-aged drinkers: 38 percent were involved motor vehicle crashes, 32 percent resulted in homicides, and 6 percent resulted in suicides.
Parents play a significant role when it comes to bad habits.
As with most behaviors, it all starts with the parents.
If parents encourage their underage children to drink, they are giving their children and others they hangout with the impression that it's OK to drink as well.
It's not just impaired vision and sense of judgment; the effects of alcohol affects your entire system.
Your brain, kidneys, liver, pancreas, stomach, lungs and your heart are all affected by alcohol consumption.
And a long-term effect of alcohol is your organs can begin deteriorating, slowing down and then shutting down all together.
You aren't a loser or a goody-goody for not drinking.
Don't give into peer pressure and just say "no."
If you don't want to say that you don't want to drink, you can use other reasons .
Use your parents as an excuse or say that you are driving.
You can also say that you just finished one and that you reached your limit.
Drinking doesn't make you cool.
It doesn't make you popular and it doesn't make you the most interesting man alive.
