Question by : I’m 13, opinions on drinking?
Please read fully:
(I know it may be annoying, but your answers may influence my entire future)

I really do not think this is the fault of my parents or my school.
Please someone help me.
In school, we have constantly been taught to not do drugs and have safe sex.
Cigarettes are another thing that has been drilled into my head to stay away from.
But, drinking has only briefly been discussed.
I know that cigarettes contain many poisons, and I have family that has died because of it.
I will stay away from cigarettes.
I know that unprotected sex (I’m only 13, so this isn’t really an issue) results in pregnancy and STD’s.
I would die of shame if I was pregnant, and 16 and pregnant shows pregnancy among teens as a horrible experience. This is an example of a way that media has effected me positively.
I will not have unprotected sex.
Media is also a positive effect on me, because I have seen people dying of drugs.
I will not do drugs.

Question by SS: Am I becoming an alcoholic or am I at risk ?
I am male 24 years old. I study and work. I cannot say I am extremely bothered by this possibility, but I keep constantly thinking about it.

My problem is in drinking habits for beer. Let me explain. I have not drunk heavy alcohol drinks for about 5 years. Simply I do not enjoy them. I don’t like the taste of vodka or whiskey. The only times I drink those – when I am flying, as I am freakishly afraid of flying and I simply get drunk before take off. I also do not care about wine or champagne. But I enjoy beer very much.
