I'm 18, well I can't say I "drink" in the sense that you're talking about.  If i'm sitting down during dinner with a my family sometimes I'll have some too (a few sips).

I live in a rural area.  Alcohol is a drug and we have a lot of deaths from drinking and driving in our area....at least 4 or 5 a year involving teens....I lost two classmates within a year of graduation from drinking and driving accidents (seperate accidents)....as far as o.d. on say, heroin, cocaine...etc....none like that....we have a fantastically huge number of deaths from cancer in my area.

girls these days seem to be thirsty for love and way too naive! i was telling my mom the other day that i'd wish there was a mandatory class for girls to learn how to not stay with abusers, throw their bodies around, and make stupid idiotic choices.\n\ni think parents aren't doing a great job these days, either.

Nope, and I don't plan to. I don't want to just be another teen statistic. I refuse to be. I hate it that everyone thinks all teens are drinking, smoking, doing drugs, or having sex. And the media is mostly to blame. So, yeah. Excuse that little rant...I'm 13 about to be 14...

idk... i thought girls from everywhere were sl**s, wh****, and bi*****s.  you know, i never really thought that amercians were that way.  we have a bad reputation with every country... i just never heard that one before.  we're fat, lazy, rich, and now were sl**s.  isnt that great?  lol... it might be influence of the media or sumthin that they don't have in all the other countries, maybe because we do more drugs, maybe its because they kno if they dont give in they might be another statistic for teen rape... who knows? im american, but i cant speak for anyone but myself.

Well..yea..guys tend to be more childish than girls\n\nAnd girls think carefully when making any decision..which makes them more mature..\n\nTherefor..I say girls are more mature than guys!

well it has many effects, especially because they are your friends. Peer pressure has a lot to do with the teens and adults drinking right now, because they offer and the teen or adult don't say no because they "want to be cool like their friends." and then they get used to it and then they become alcohol addicts.

Teenage boys are pretty superficial and haven't lived long enough to be able to appreciate the attributes of what other (like, not anorexic looking) women have to offer. Don't worry too much about it.

Actually, statistically, girls are better drivers than boys in the late teen years. \n\nThat's why insurance for a 16 year old boy is almost three times that of a 16 year old girl. \n\nPerhaps males should have to wait until they're 21.

Yes...girls are even better than guys..because we are very gentle with our tongue and mouth..like a butterfly...tongue together with our hand and..guys are over in few seconds...like a hurricane :-)

Well, it depends. You probably say girls do because, well, (I hope) don't have experience w/ being a guy. Same with guys, just the other way around. But in my opinion, it's a tie, for certain reasons. Girls start stressing and horomonal changes when they are rather young. But guys don't until they're like 50! (kidding, but it's a long time, compared to girls anyway) But on the guys side, they tend to be more athletic compared to girls, not saying girls aren't!, but they do seem to be more athletically prepared than most girls. But there again, guys don't seem as smart as most girls, more academically challenged! So I leave it to you to decide, and most people are surprised by this, but I'm ten.

Teenage Drinking has been a problem since the begining of the production of alcholic beverages.\n\nIt is considered a rite of passage to consume alcohol. Our social mores consider "drinking" a rite of passage.  Peer pressure, media, and the acceptance sitgma that it's OK to Drink are all around us.\n\nThe problem will only be solved with Education, and a society that frounds upon the problem. A control over the Media and advertisment will also be needed.  Much Like the ban on smoking, a campaign is needed to reach this eventual goal.  Smoking negative media, and the ban on certain advertisement had reduced some of the smoking is cool attitude.  The same needs to be applied to the alcohol industry.  Or are all the cool Ads from the Superbowl, budweiser etc, continue to influence our social attitudes toward drinking in general?

Our society is inundated with aspects which drive girls towards thinking about it.  Hip hop videos with barely dressed girls shaking their booty, movies with plots including young girls giving it up, media ads for weight loss pills and exercise equipment, and the accessibility of porn on the Internet are but a few of these.  Until society as a whole goes back to valuing more pure issues, I'm afraid this won't change.
