Why do young people binge drink?
I’m 16 and I first got drunk when I was 14. At that time I did it simply because everyone else was and I wanted to do it too. I got wayyy to drunk and spent most of the night being sick, so I didn’t drink properly again until I was 15, then I was drinking every weekend. At that point I was doing it because I found it fun, but also simply for the sake of it and again, because it was what all my friends were doing. Now at 16 I only drink occasionally to be more socialble and relaxed, equalling a better time, and I think I’m grown up enough to not do things just because everyone else is. That seems to be most peoples reason for binge drinking, especially underage, they just want to be like everyone else.
