It looks like we are raising a generation of drunks! This study gets the new year off to a terrific start: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070102/...ns_drinking_dc

I can honestly say..... I'm in that "boat"

Okay Teck----slow down--enjoy your booze.

What did you just say, I can't read. - busy drinking

Well by that definition - 5 drinks in a row - I'm a binge drinker also on Friday nights or for big football games.

It's far too easy to put away a 6-pack while on the town with your buds. I don't know that I'd qualify that as binge drinking, though. Either way, it's still unsettling that it begins at such a young age these days.

Just want to clarify something: 45% of high schoolers drink alcohol, and 29% are binge drinkers.

It seems the only way most people can entertain themselves is by drinking themselves blind. It's not surprising that so many high schoolers do that, considering how many "adults" do the same thing (and even at the age of 25 or 30, are still bragging about it at every opportunity). Personally, I'm in the minority that isn't entertained by it. In fact, as far as I'm concerned, drunk people are pretty downright sickening. I leave parties early, because once everyone gets hammered, I just can't take being around them anymore

I have observed the tragedy excessive drinking can do to a persons life and their family. Some kids think it makes them look grownup when they drink, not believing they may become addicted.

My sons have tried alcohol and realised it does not like them...

God said there is no other god but me and using my god in vain will be break of his commandment and hence that spirit of that person has now cut of his relationship with god. the free wil is given to people to not to misuse it for his own pleasure but to use in ways to makes your heart worthy for gods love and temple.

Where does that pop up in the Bible, or any other religious laws and such?
