How will teenagers learn to drink alcohol responsibly if adults don't show a positive role model?

I am not talking about adults who have a wee drink now and then but don't get drunk. I am talking about the adults that talk about getting drunk like it's a badge of honour.





I am talking about these people who talk to young adult at work and say things like ';your young, you should enjoy yourself and worry about these things when your older';





The bottom line is alcohol companies won't stop teenagers drinking, it makes them money. They don't make alcohol for a love of people, they make alcohol for people (any age) to drink.





So it moves to the people in the pubs and clubs. It's all fine and dandy thinking you can keep yourself to youself but thats not the truth.





You have no right to complain about teenagers drinking too much alcohol if you set that example.





So it's time people stopped making alcohol sound like a ';wonder drink'; and just look at it for what it is, a drug made with rotten vegtables that can destroy people's dreams and families if drank irresponsibly.

You're preaching to the converted with me, we're all teetotal around here. I think you're right but unfortunately teenagers will always try anyhting they come into contact with unless given strong negative messages. We find it helps to take the **** out of druggies, drinkers etcetera. No young person wants to identify with a figure of fun.How will teenagers learn to drink alcohol responsibly if adults don't show a positive role model?

Yes, I will never drink. Drinking leads to nothing but failure.
