My friend says that drinking alcohol is fun, I kind of want to try it, what should I do?

Officer Response

Think about the positive and negative consequences of drinking “risk” Consider the long and short-term effects of alcohol abuse on your health as well as getting in trouble. I think once you have considered all of these things, you will discover that alcohol use is not worth it. Also discuss this situation with your parents.

Parents Response

You will be able to try it some day when you are old enough…Laws are put into place for people to drink over the age of 21 for a reason. They hope that people will be responsible and strong enough to make their own decisions because alcohol does alter your decision-making.

Kid Response

Any person who encourages you to drink isn’t your friend. Find new friends and stay away from alcohol.
