Underage Drinking

By: Rita

      My book was Dramarama, and in the end of the book the 2 main characters were caught under aged drinking. Underage drinking is very bad for your brain and body. I read about 5 different articles on the consequences of underage drinking. My search topic s was drinking, teens, kids, DUI’s, juvenile drinking, and underage drinking. I know that under aged drinking can give you permanent brain damage, can affect how you do in school, and your social life. What I didn’t know is that almost 50% percent of teens have had at least 1 drink, and 30% have been drunk. I bet when those teens ha there first drink they didn’t know the consequences of drinking and getting drunk.  Teens that drive are at risk of hurting others and hurting themselves if they are drunk driving. I definitely agree that underage drinking is very wrong. This is what I found out about under aged drinking.
