It acts as social lubricant and makes people seem more approachable/attractive. It's also the "cool" thing to do. But I don't like it. LOL. And some alcoholic drinks just taste like candy, and kids love candy.

16

2. In a regular week how many alcoholic drinks would you have?
None.

4. Do you think it is easy for kids under 18 to get hold of alcohol?

lol yes. Illegally buying it with fake ID's, or just by looking older. Getting older friends to buy it. Or worried parents buying the alcohol and knowing what they drink, as opposed to having the kids get it illegally.

Whatever i want.

They are idiots.

No idea. Peer pressure.

3. If you are under 18, how did you get your last alcholic drink?

4. Do you think it is easy for kids under 18 to get hold of alcohol?
If yes why? I do because more and more kids are drinkin underage therefore peer pressure encouraging others to do so, many parents are irresponsibe and allow their kids to go out and drink

5. Do your parents allow you to drink?

6. Why do you think more and more kids under 18 are drinking large amounts of alcohol? Answered this in Q 4 sorry...Peer pressure and become "immune" to small quantites so drink more and more to get drunk...or drink more unawar of how much they are drinking

7. Do you binge drink?
No

8. Why do you think females binge more than males?
They are more insecure about their bodies and also want to fit into the crowd more than males

9. Do you think youth drug abuse has increased or decreased in the last 5 years? Increased

10. Have you ever taken drugs for any other reason than an illness?
No

11. In your opinion do you think more and more youths are taking drugs because it seems like the coool thing to do?

Yes, as one person tries it they encourae others too and if the 'popular' people begin others do ti to fit in


Hope this helps in anyway

How old are you? 17

Male/Female

1.How old were you when you had your first alcoholic drink? 16

2. In a regular week how many alcoholic drinks would you have? Don't drink regularly.

3. If you are under 18, how did you get your last alcholic drink? Friends older than 18 got it for me.

4. Do you think it is easy for kids under 18 to get hold of alcohol?
If yes why? Very easy, the majority of people know someone older than 18 who is willing to buy them drinks

5. Do your parents allow you to drink? I assume so...

6. Why do you think more and more kids under 18 are drinking large amounts of alcohol? Because kids get way too bored these days, riding bikes and playing with dolls no longer satisfy their excitement levels. So they must turn to older people things, like binge drinking. Also, younger people are way too easily influenced by older people.

7. Do you binge drink? Sometimes

8. Why do you think females binge more than males? there is just more pressure to, from both guy and girl friends alike. me speculating, but girls just love the taste of the alcohol they drink too more than guys would

9. Do you think youth drug abuse has increased or decreased in the last 5 years? Increased, kids get bored way too easily these days

10. Have you ever taken drugs for any other reason than an illness? assuming you are not taking alcohol as being a drug, no.

11. In your opinion do you think more and more youths are taking drugs because it seems like the coool thing to do? I dont think its being cool, its just that children are bored and resort to alcohol to liven things up. Then when they get bored of alcohol, they turn to drugs for that high. It starts off with marajuana, then it turns into harder stuff...

parents
4. Do you think it is easy for kids under 18 to get hold of alcohol?
If yes why?
yes, especially if they have friends who are 18+, and also if parents are willing to buy the alcohol for their children
5. Do your parents allow you to drink?
yes
6. Why do you think more and more kids under 18 are drinking large amounts of alcohol?
some kids may be abusing the fact that they can get the alcohol and so they consume large amounts just to see how far they can go
7. Do you binge drink?
no
8. Why do you think females binge more than males?
because not alot of females drink as often, or as regularly as most males
9. Do you think youth drug abuse has increased or decreased in the last 5 years?
a change in the way people see the drugs, for what purpose they are using them, etc
10. Have you ever taken drugs for any other reason than an illness?
alcohol is considered a drug so, yes
11. In your opinion do you think more and more youths are taking drugs because it seems like the coool thing to do?
elaborate..
alot of it has to do with peer pressure and or individual choice and perception of the drug, if someone is at a party and they see that their friends are smoking marijuana or whatever they may or may not choose to take part in it. just because it may 'seem like the coool thing to do' doesnt mean that each individual will choose the drug.
thanksss guys

You said it buddy, kids just wanna "try" this and that.
Unfortunately it affects them and it makes them affect others and others will have an effect on the drug taker. Can result in relationship and/or friendship breakdown and ruins your life. Kids just don't give a shit or they never heard of it.

usually none. i'm not meant to drink and i hate the taste anyway.

3. If you are under 18, how did you get your last alcholic drink?

4. Do you think it is easy for kids under 18 to get hold of alcohol? yes

If yes why? there are bottle shops that don't check ID, parents supply it and every kid has a friend that's 18.

5. Do your parents allow you to drink? no.

6. Why do you think more and more kids under 18 are drinking large amounts of alcohol? Because it's "cool" and "fun", everyone else is doing it, basically its just something to do.

7. Do you binge drink? i used to, but the last time i ended up in hospital so never again :/

8. Why do you think females binge more than males? i wasn't aware that they did, guys can actually drink more than girls anyway.

9. Do you think youth drug abuse has increased or decreased in the last 5 years? most likely increased

10. Have you ever taken drugs for any other reason than an illness? no.

11. In your opinion do you think more and more youths are taking drugs because it seems like the coool thing to do?
elaborate..

Its seen as rebellious and they probably get a high just because they're doing something illegal (on top of the high they get from the drugs :p), there's a lot of peer pressure - if a few of your friends get into it you're more likely to follow just to avoid seeming "uncool". I think boredom has a lot to do with it as well and a fair few kids probably use drugs as a way to deal with stress etc.

they think its cool/social/like the short term effects/dont see anything wrong with it

do they? i wasn't aware of it. probably coz females on average are more emotionally unstable...hence inclined to do stuff like that. just my opinion.

increased

10. Have you ever taken drugs for any other reason than an illness?
nope

it's not coz its cool but if they're in a social circle that does that stuff, they're more likely to fall in with the crowd.


hope that helps :)
