Here's what other kids had to say:

My dad was an alcoholic and had to go to rehab and it was really sad, but I think he is better, but not compleatly.

Just remember this saying: Hugs, not drugs, winks not drinks! We had a week devoted to that saying at school once. Margaret(12), I sooo agree with you!

When my hero was younger, he smoked and would drink while driving. Then, he got pulled over by the police, and the officer saw the alcohol. He put my hero in jail for a night. Then he stopped drinking while driving, but still smoked. When I was little, he stopped smoking. He told me what I will now tell you- NEVER smoke, drink, or do any kind of unprescripted drug. Take my word for it- it will MESS YOU UP!! You will save yourself from complete destruction!

One time, on Christmas Eve, my dad told me that there was something going at his friends(we had gone to a party at their house before that)and he left me with my sick brother. I didn't know he was just going to put down another couple of beers. When my mom found out, she was MAD, and she yelled at dad for leaving me alone with crying little Brady while he was getting drunk. Oh, and i had to drink wine for church before, but I don't anymore. For those who want to smoke or drink, just let me tell you:I've tried alcohol and inhaled my grandmothers smoke, and neither tastes good. Everyone is special (like on Barney)and have a great life ahead of them, so don't waste it on drugs, tobacco and alcohol! itll be worth it. :) More money, more athletic ability, more life! :) X100

Well my dad doesn't drink very often. When his friends come over to play poker he doesn't drink. That's why he says he wins. ;)

I heard that if your 21 and you have exactly 1 glass of red wine every night at dinner its really good for your heart, lungs, liver...You get my point! If you don't belive me you should probably ask IML!

I get worried every time my mom and dad go out with there friends. I know there's alchol but I never know how much. I've never seen any hangover but I can't stop worrying. I'm asleep every time they get home. How do I stop being so irrational.

A lot of my aunts and uncles on my dads side drink and also smoke.Thankfully,my parents don't smoke and neither do my grandparents.(well my grandfather used to but that was a long time ago)he still drinks beer though. Take my cousin Megan for example.my dad said when she was little she had the most beautiful face.everytime,when she saw her mother and father smoking,she said i'll never smoke,it makes you die. Sadly,around the age of 20,peer pressure gave in.She starting smoking and drinking horibly.Her face,which was once smooth and tan,broke out in acne,so horrible no kind of product could cure it. Now,with the help of counselers,she has her life back on track,and the acne died down about the time that her father had a heart attack from drinking and smoking so much! this is a story of lesson,for everyone. please dont even drink or smoke,it will save your life.

Nobody should be allowed to drink until they're 20 or 21.People are bingeing on drink too much,and they're getting younger and younger.Take for example mary's friend.Assuming they are the same age,that is a 13 year old getting so drunk that she passes out and vomits.Sorry to mary for singling you out but you were the first example I came across ok
