i think that underage drinking is fine if it's done responsibly. there is nothing wrong with knocking back a few shots or polishing off a case with your friends, presuming you do it responsibly (i.e. you dont drive, etc). however, this one girl i'm talking to, she says that it's bad to drink underage simply because it's illegal. she wont drink until she's 21, simply because it's illegal. thats all. it's not that she thinks you gain maturity, or anything like that. simply because it's illegal. i know, i am on the "illegal" side.. but not drinking simply because of the law? isnt that sorta... i dunno?
