Your thoughts about alcohol.

[Toasty Virus]

You're young (What am I saying, I'm only 16 BAH!] a lot of young people go through it, the more you tell them not to the more they're going to do it.

So I guess what i'm saying is, go with it, if you don't feel comfortable doing it with them, then go find some other friends to hang around with till you are, it really is that simple.

I started drinking about a year back, and yeah, it's been pretty good =D

They certainly aren't being mature just because they're drinking beer. If you don't want to drink then you are right not to do so, but that doesn't mean that they are wrong because they do.

well to be honest, neither of you are right, them in the underage drinking and the fact they think they are being social by drinking alcohol, and your not right as your opinion of your friends is as ignorant dimwits, if they are enjoying themselves then far enough, doesnt make them dimwits, just means they have different interest then you, i never got drunk before i was 18 (had the occasional drink but usually over dinner) but i could still hang with most of my friends who did

Drinking is a social thing, i know at 15 i would go out once every couple of weeks and have a few drinks with mates. It was usually a laugh, and it is true you are more sociable when you're drunk, or at least a lot of people are.

That said, just this morning we all got a lecture at my college about alcoholism with younger people and about how alcohol can do a lot of damage pretty quick especially if you're drinking lots of it on a weekly basis.

personally i don't think theres a "right" or "wrong" for this, just two seperate life choices.
Perhaps go out and drink with your friends one weekend, at the very least it'd be an experience. Just be careful and know your limit. Going overboard is never a good laugh.

alcohol + concert = awesome

Just makes the feeling more intense, also its social.

Leave them... these are NOT the sort of friends you need.

And that is the right choice, Don't do something you will regret, especially not this young.
I am also 15 and know many people who drink a little too much at this age, although none of them are in my group of close friends, or ever will be.
