It is a phenomenol problem, but for every problem there is a solution. What can be done to stop or curb this nefarious activity with our impressionable youth?
Jilly Cooper – grow up, will you?! You’ll be sorry one day if you get cirrhosis of the liver. Being young does not give you the right to be irresponsible.

You can’t legislate stupidity. In other words, you can’t make rules that say you can’t be stupid. Many young people go out of their way to break society’s rules. It’s called expressing their freedom. Experiencing a tragedy brought on by binge drinking such as watching a friend die doesn’t always teach the lesson.

If you learn how to do it, publish a book. It will be a best seller.

    Nothing …. You think it’s a new problem but it’s been around since alcohol was found . We do stupid things when we’re young . It’s part of growing up and it always will be .

    its less of a problem in countries where drinking laws are less strict since they learn how to drink socially with their families in the public and private setting. In the US, if you deny alcohol to youth till 21, of course that’s all they’re going to want to do. The problem though, is that we can’t lower the drinking age because so many people drive in this country. there’s nothing you can do other than teach them not to drink and drive.

    People like Phil Collins and Cher should start promoting binge drinking. That’s how you make something “uncool.”
