Don't lump everyone into one category though. I don't drink to be "cool" or to "fit in" ... maybe when I was younger like 16 or so but I'm too old now to give a damn about what others think now.
Plus a lot of the people participating in this discussion are all under age or haven't even had a drink yet .. so it's one thing to be of legal age and know what it's like and a completely other thing to be under age and having never tried a drink before. You can't look down on someone for something you've never tried.

legal age is a dumbass law imposed by a nanny-state.
if you think you're old enough to drink, then you can. if you later live to regret it, well, that was a choice you made. it's the same thing as when you think you're old enough to wipe your own ass, or tie your own shoes.
it's a choice that the individual makes for himself. it's got nothing to do with the government, or you, or I, or anybody else. It's up to him. You can only make choices for you.

"ooh the wind knocked me down and now i'm paralyzed." no one said all sports have to be about contact. take up fucking ping pong. kids have to make mistakes to learn? no they dont. some are intelligent enough to know not to do something the first time around. i do not think i am invicible in the least bit. their mistake their lives? but that doesnt work when their mistake interferes with other peoples lives, like in the aforementioned website on the first page. most kids are too young to handle drinking, more or less driving.

Emily wrote:i've never got tennis elbow. as long as you know how to swing right, you won't get it. plus no one brought it on myself but me (well, i never got it, but per se). but you still call boxing a "fight," don't you? in real life, fights are meant to wound, and in small cases, kill the other person. your cousin or whatever BEAT the guy who died as in Severely Pummeled. the only reason muhammad ali cant even sing the fucking national anthem is that he was hit in the head so many times. i really dont consider that fun. if you're going to fight, take up something like fencing. boxing might be about tactics, but it's still not worth however long the fight is, then dying in a hospital. of course there's risks with everything, but with some sports the risk is just too high, and SMART RUNNERS DONT RUN ON PAVEMENT.
