Article intro

Do you love alcohol? Do you love house parties? Are you an underage drinker?

Well let me tell you…did you know that people start drinking from the age of 12!...yes really.

Yeah, we’ve all experienced the taste of alcohol or seen our friends laid out across the floor in someone’s house, but alcohol is deadly SERIOUS! Teenagers are getting more and more addicted to drinking, Underage drinking is on the up. A worrying amount of 16 year olds do drink alcohol which is not allowed and 80% of that age group admitted they frequently drank on a regular basis they seem to think that it improves their social life, as they get to meet people from other tribes. Approximately 10 percent of 12-year-olds say they have drank alcohol at least once. By age 13 that number doubles. And by age 15, approximately 50 percent have had at least one drink, and it would seem the main influences are house parties, youth tribes and TV.
