things happen. every teenager is going to drink its sad but its true. My sister is my role model she is amazing and ussually responsible most times. she was 13 at the time and she did it at a hockey game because some ppl thought she should. she was 86 lbs at the time. and she drank half a water bottle of vodka straight. She had never drank before and its a wonder she i s alive. But really it has not perminently effected her life at all. but it could have...

get a grip lady man are you are out to lunch

1 bad decision? didnt she get arrested beforehand in Plainville?

sorry but your daughter doesnt seem like the ideal teenager you speak of...yet you tell EVERY OTHER TEEN that we need to learn the consequences. you were the one oblivious to her drinking, why are you filing a lawsuit against those who supplied the alcohol???

drinking isnt bad. i think that if you say "hey son ill allow you to drink with me and smoke with me, but if i ever catch you doing it somewhere else im going to beat your ass." i you do that then there gonna be scared to drink anywhere else or they wont feel the need to if they can already do it with the father or mother. im not saying let the kids get super drunk but a beer or two wont really matter. p.s. im 17 and dont drink thanks to my parents teaching me whats happens when you do.

control control control. If u feel super drunk, then u are and should stop. Does all this binge drinking happen in countries where the minimum age is 18 or lower??

Wow, that is so unfortunate for that parent. The studies they're sharing are very useful.

Alcohol abuse in teens is a common problem, and it seems that each year teens start to drink younger and in worst ways. Its important to give teens the right information to prevent complications, tragedies and even dead.
