katiebee,

If you are not drinking and driving AND you aren’t riding with a drinker, how are you getting to and from your places of drinking?

A person’s brain does not stop growing until age 25. The last part of the brain to fully develop is the reasoning – which is why teens often make shortsighted choices. The fact that you get drunk nearly every weekend indicates that you are a binge drinker.

Did you know that it only takes 18 months for a person to become an alcoholic? If you aren’t there yet, you’re on your way. Please stop while you (hopefully) still can.

Those of us on CC do care.
