Getting drunk is also a cause of a lot of car accidence. Drunk driving is the most stupid thing a teenager could do, they are just putting their life in danger and if they are driving with others they are just risking a lot of peoples lives. I know from experience because my friend and I were victims in a drunk driving car accidence. We were both in a car, and two other people not including the driver. My friend and I didn't know that our driver was drinking at the party. Our driver was a little overdose and dizzy, he drove right into a concrete wall. We were so lucky to have made it alive. The driver and the person on shotgun were injured but nothing to badly. Horrible thing happen when you are not all there.

Shawn, 19 years old expresses his feelings and experience about getting drunk. "We all feel like superstars when we're drunk. It's a matter of confidence. Being comfortable with sex means being comfortable with another person, and when you are young that's hard. But most guys in dorms don't consciously think, I'm afraid to try to get together with a girl, so I'm gonna drink. Once everyone gets drunk, sex just happens. Guys love to hook up with girls, and I think girls enjoy hooking up, too. When you're drunk it gives you this permission, like, 'O, I was drunk last night and I didn't know what I was doing.' The social consequences aren't the same. It's not at all as horrible as adults would like to think-if it always ended badly, people wouldn't do it. You could wake up and regret what you did the night before, or you could wake up and say, wow, it finally happened with this person. But your standards do tend to drop when you're drinking. If you'd never do it unless you were under the influence, it's obviously a bad idea. The reasons not to do it don't disappear because you're drunk-you might just forget them for a while."
