[Braders]

apparently kids are getting drunk at a younger age -your thoughts

 

[JJ McClure]

Kids are doing everything at a younger age it would seem, and none of it is good.

My 16 year old brother phoned me yesterday and is considering having a party when my Mum goes away for a few days. Brought back pleasant memories of youth. I don't think they are drinking younger, it is just all of us are getting older, and they just seem too young.

I think society should concerntrate on more serious youth issues such as the alarming rate that teenagers are taking up heroin etc.

I'm founding member of the preserve Rottingdean underage drinking society. I'm the only one who'll buy 'em drink.

The marketing of all these alcopops doesn't help. My step-daughter has just turned 11, and has always turned her nose up at the alcohol we drink. However, she suddenly developed a taste for Bacardi Breezers when her mum had one recently.

well, we all got drunk on cider down the local park when we were 15-16 years old, did not seen to damage any of my mate in the long run,it all part of growing up.

True, the Queens Park Massive seems to be younger than it was a couple of years go and they are right mouthy little shits now, the Chappers stare seems to still work though, grrrrr

Everyone starts on cider lol, i remember my mates telling me i ran head first into a lamp post after 2 litres of merrydown or whatever its called at the tender age of 14, dunno if i actually did or not but i had a lump on my head somehow...

 

[Eddie the Seagull]

Me & my mates used to hang around the offy waiting for a suitable adult to buy us a bottle of cider & then mess around Hangleton golf course causing mischief etc.

I was, however asked by a kid (14/15?) the other day if I'd buy him 4 cans of Stella - I declined and even told the shop assistant about the kid trying to buy alcohol.

I did feel guilty about that - there was no need to 'grass' him up.

LOL - How true

 

[bigc]

well 14 and onwards dont really matter, but its right, they do do it younger. some year 8's at my school the example(stupid little twats, i hate 'em ) and thats 12-13 age

 

[BrightonBird]

No. Anyone remember drinking in a park at 13? Or am I the only looser to do so? Drunk cider in any form - White Lightening (quite frightening) or Merrydown. Merrydown was £2.95 for a litre and a half. Mmm.. tasty! At 14 upgraded to local pubs, and at 15, Brighton clubs.

I think I sound like an alcoholic!

 

[bigc]

white lightning...lol thats notorious. i thought tramps drunk it?

BrightonBird, the first step is admitting your addiction, you've managed it, well done

 

[Seagullible]

ALways remember Merrydown and Lambrisco downthe park aged 14/15. Used to hide if anyone came our way cos we didn't wanna get caught - seems so pathetic now!

 

[pishhead]

white lightning was notorious at the age of 14 £1.39 for a litre and it used to get you mashed, and also having 4 cans of woodpecker and wondering why it didnt have the same effect

 

[dwayne]

Nicking Special Brew off tramps.

 

[BrightonBird]

You knicked it off tramps? Oh well, don't feel so bad now being a drinker at a young age!!!

Everyone starts on cider

Not everyone. My eldest son (the one who isn't known to NSC users) started on Southern Comfort, round at a friend's house when her parents were out. The touching thing about this introduction to to the big, bad world of boozing was that he tried to cycle home - as you do at that age - and fell off, only to be rescued by a nearby householder who called an ambulance. I had to go fetch him from the RSCH and put up with his denials that he had been at all irresponsible. "We only had one glass".

I guess they did. And I guess it was probably a Mister Men tumbler.



Mind you, my brother and his mate once drank a whole case of Babycham when they were both six years old.

I blame the parents.

I saw this young shark the other day who was absolutely shitfaced!
