AHHHHHH! I'm 17 and I drank a glass of beer! Arrest me and label me with a record that will ruin my future more then any drink would! Even though I didn't drive or do anything to put other's lives and safety at risk, I still drank underage! And even though it's nothing to most in Europe, it's EVIL because I'm in the USA! Supposedly the freest country on Earth.

Alcohol doesn't kill people, dumb shits who do stupid things kill people.

I turned this in to crime stoppers case 839901 but suprise nothing was done. A 17yr old girl was already life flighted what else has to happen. I have many pics to prove this. Please contact Point O' Woods @ 9 Point O' Woods Avenue Bayshore NY 11706 or  the Ocean Bay Park Police and tell them what you think of this.

Ask the Point O Woods Community about their illegal bar called the Innbetween in Ocean Bay Park New York. This bar is full of underaged kids as young as 13 on a nightly basis. All the kids are from the wealthy and prominant Point O' Woods Association. This bar is across the street from a police station, but nothing is every done. However the bars next door are regularly monitored. Mabye they get away with this because they are friends with bloomberg.

The only justification for obeying the drinking age given in this video is that "it's the law." Any reasoning given is irrelevant because age has nothing to do with the circumstance. Not only that, but it is also biased. The stories given about the "dangers of underage drinking" are pick and chosen. They treat all young people the same due to a couple incidents. I know of these studies where they got their "facts" and they are nothing but biased junk science that don't look at the whole picture.

"drinking pretty much ruined my life." who's fault is that? Just because you can't handle your shit and be moderate and responsible doesn't mean other people can't. We should be emphasizing responsible drinking not "don't drink". HAHA good luck getting people on board with that message... People will listen if you teach responsibility. They won't listen if you just tell them not to drink because then it just sounds like you're telling them what to do and they'll rebel out of spite

I'm breaking the drinking law as we speak :)

I work fulltime, I pay my taxes, I have social responsibilities as an adult citizen, I'm going to have a beer despite what's on the books. Sorry police.

This is hilarious. Must Americans dramatise absolutely everything? Listen to the music.I have no words.

In grade 10, 14 years old. It's bound to happen, but those people who can't tolerate the alcohol will get shit faced so bad that they'll make stupid decisions that'll get themselves killed. It's mostly based on tolerance and nothing more
