--Isaac, 13

No, and I hope I never will.

My mother used to have a really bad alcohol problem. She would spend all of her money on alcohol instead of on things we needed (food, bills, etc..). She always drank to try and fix her problems - she does still do this, actually. But in comparison..its amazing how much better she's gotten.

My dad and mom used to both drink a LOT and I mean a lot. After my mother got pregnant and the baby had a defect and died, they both stopped. It started when I was about 9 and both of them had lost their jobs, we were being forced out if our house as a forclosure, then they were stressed. After our life was put back together again they both went to therapy and now they drink occaisonaly. Like on New Years Eve and Christmas parties and stuff like that. I'm very proud of them.

peer presure is very bad. and y i said that is because your peers (friends) will taunt you til you do wat they say. never drink, even if you can do it legally. many many people die from drinking and driving. please do not.

My Uncle has gotten countless DUI's. He has also killed his best freind from drinking.He has a huge problem, I know that, and he knows that. My Aunt filed a divorce over his drinking. One time he was orderd to go to a class, he showed up, signed in and left. Thats it!

I'm sort of mad at my parents' drinking habit. I try to tell them that it's not good for them but it doesn't work. I don't like seeing them like this.

To everyone, DONT worry if your parents drink! Just because adults drink does not make them alcholics and they are not going to get sick from it in moderation. it is totally OKAY for adults to drink. Alot of doctors actally recomend adults drink some wine everyday. Don't be worried if you parents drink. If they are coming home drunk most nights then you might want to talk to someone who can help you. but if they aren't drunk. or they maybe get drunk everyonce in a while. dont worry!!! --Jacoby Ellsbury's Girlfriend

alcohol is the worst and it can effect your body in so many ways. ask yourself do you want to ruin your life
--james, 12

I have some people in my life drink a lot but none of them are alcoholics. I do think that some of them do have a problem but nothing too serious. It is quite funny actually. Sometimes i confront them jokingly and i love to see their reactions when i say it. It's all love though!^__~

Anna, 11, I'm so glad everything worked out and i'm very happy your friend is okay!!! =) YAY!!! --Jacoby Ellsbury's Girlfriend

I have had DARE in the fifth grade and I know achohol is really bad for you. It damages almost every single organ in your body. Not good! I am really sick of the mdeia pressuring you to drink achohol. It's bogus and if anyone pressures you say NO!

My dad drinks too! My mom, brother and I hate it! But its his decision i guess...i just wish it didnt have to be like that.

Let me start by saying that people don't just drink to look cool. Many do it because they're depressed, and they feel that alcohol makes them feel better. The truth is that alcohol is a depressant. But just because someone drinks doesn't make them a bad person. It's when drinking takes over their lives. When drinking becomes more important than your family and friends, you have a serious problem. But when you're of legal age (21 in the United States), drinking in moderation is fine. Note that I added "moderation". That being said, I've chosen never to drink. Why? First, alcoholism runs in my family. That increases my chances of being one, which I don't want. Second, when I was 6, my then 16 year old sister had been out partying and drinking. She was missing for HOURS! So, make your own choice. But don't drink until you're of legal age, or you could go to jail. And NEVER drink and drive. Take it from someone who's friends have done it.

Ugh, My daddy drinks brandy late at night and sometimes he forgets and leaves it out and when I wake up in the morning it lets off a foul stench. My mommy and Me don' like it but he does it anyway. But he's not crazy or anything. I'm the one whose crazy. I can tease Nate or Gabby however much I like but nobody else can lay a finger on them or they'll DIE!!
