Alcoholic Teens

A detailed Summary of Alcoholic Teens

When teens run into friends around town, a common question that most of us hear is "Hey, what are you doing tonight?" This could be answered any number of ways, but in this day and age you will probably hear about how everybody is going over to somebody's house to drink. Keggers and Jungle Juice parties are the most common, because they are cheap and will get you drunk. Keggers usually sell cups for the beer which will give you unlimited refills. Jungle Juice parties ask for a cover at the door and again you are given unlimited refills. The only difference between the two is that Keggers are beer and Jungle Juice parties are mixtures of hard alcohol. Fridays and Saturdays are prime days to go out and drink. Teens know those are the days you don't have to get up on the following morning. With that in mind, you can easily drink yourself silly causing your body to become dehydrated. This has come to be called a hangover. Hangovers can completely incapacitate you giving you any of the following; headache, nausea, diarrhea, lack of appetite, shakiness, feeling tired, and a gross-tasting mouth.

If you are under age drinking at some house party you may find yourself with a ticket ranging from $250 to $750 all depended on how nice the officer is to you. Of course it is all about getting caught first. It is a chance that some are willing to take. Another kind of chance that some are willing to take is one may cause harm to their body or even die from alcohol poisoning. Cirrhosis is a term referring to a type of liver disease that is caused by chronic alcoholism. Cirrhosis kills 25,000 people a year and has been linked to woman that drink only two to three drinks a day and men that drink only three to four a day. The harm to your body that is involved in drinking really should make someone think twice. Another reason is how expensive it is. If you figure that you go out once a week only for 40 weeks, which is not the whole year, and only stay at one Kegger and the cup is $5 then you are spending around $200. That scenario doesn't include you buying your own al
