Last night my mother was driving me home after spending time at my friend's house, and with no warning she brings up the topic of drinking. My mom is pleased that I don't drink, but for some reason she decided to give me a lecture of all the horrible effects of underage drinking. I was getting pretty irritated because I had heard this all before a number of times, so I decided to bring my sister up just to get my mom off my case. My sister is 21 and in college, but she did drink her freshmen and sophomore year. As I pointed this underage drinking fact out to my mom, she bluntly said, "Well, it's different in college". This made me frustrated. Why was it okay for my sibling to consume alcohol when they were 19 and 20? I don't think it's very fair that my sister got off the hook for underage drinking, while I get a lesson every time I hang out with my friends. I don't care that "most people drink in college" as my mother stated. Shouldn't she still get in trouble by my parents?
What's your take on underage drinking?
