Try 15 seconds. Haha, just playing. I think you guys are just looking at what the average person turns out to be. I'll be fine. Promise. If alcohol was going to do anything to me, it would of already happened. I'm too good of a student. A trite line but none the less true.

Well if your hearing that in the school, it means I'm gettin' around. I'm a playa baby.

I'm reading through the posts and I realize how much I miss drinking. The post was orginally about a boy who died in my school and now I'm arguing for alcohol. What I would give...

so how do you stop? i'm addicted to coca-cola. beer i can give or take, but seriously do they have coca-cola anonymous? or any constructive websites to stop drinking?

Wow, I never thought you could get addicted to coca~cola in this day (read:had actual coke in coke long ago). I have actually tried to switch to a different soda like Sprite Remix, I was on it in about a week. And I am serious, when I was really stressed, I bought a coke instead. So much for me loosing the coca-cola. Canofcoke, by saying you want to drink so bad you'll keep thinking about it. Keep your mind off the alcohol. I suggest that because if you want a girlfriend....a lot of them don't like drinking.

I'm a little late on this thread, but I had one thing to contribute.

Drinking while using a hot tub can be even more fatal. The hot water causes your body to absorb the alcohol much faster. Seems to me there was a young girl in Spokane some 10 years ago who was left for dead by her pals in a hot tob. They claim they had no idea; thought she had just passed out and left her there, thinking she'd wake up.

Nope. Died of alcohol poisoning, from a fairly low amount, but rapid absorbtoin due to the hot water in the hot tub.

Think before you drink.

yes, I too have a drink at times, I just know ahead of time what I'm getting into into.

lol, well thats an odd post.

Anyways painted, I dont drink so they need not worry about it now. When I do, who says that they wont either?

As for my "canofcoke" name, I'm not even a coke fan. I like pepsi. But I like my name so go figure:)

i don't drink. i'm just addicted to coca-cola. been like that for years. as long as its not in the house i'm ok but i'm a 5-a-day man if they are. can't stop soo sweet.

have to drink gallons of water (its cheaper to fuel your car) to stop the "wanting".

So... the question still stands.... who died?

I know a few kids who attend your school... none of them heard of this until I asked them.

I'm in honors, orchestra, etc. I'm not sure of my opinion. I mean, if you dont have that escape, it can build up. Stress, pressure, etc. I cant rule it out as something thats wrong to use to escape with. I mean, I loved it and I was able to stop.

You need to be VERY careful about that kind of attitude (not to come off all parental and such). Just because you think you were able to stop once doesn't mean you will again. And there are much healthier ways of escape or relieving stress. Exercise being one of them. Also, didn't you already say your grades dropped when you were drinking?
It's a slippery slope drinking is. It's socially acceptable to drink and to get drunk so you're more apt to do it. But for people who easily sucumb to addiction it's very dangerous. It can ruin your life. I lived with alcoholics and it's a nasty situation.
I have no problem with drinking in moderation, or even if you happen to go overboard once in a while. But when it becomes a craving or a need, then you have a problem. My suggestion to you is, if you are craving it, needing it, then you really need to talk to someone about it. I know "kids will be kids" and such but again when you are doing it to fulfill a need or craving then you should probably think twice about it. Take that for what you will.

I've tried to stay away from this thread because this is an extremely sensitive subject for me, but I just can't keep my thoughts to myself any longer.

COC - From reading your posts on this topic, you still don't seem to grasp the danger alcohol poses. I'm curious as to why you don't see the danger in using alcohol as a crutch, or a means to escape.
People die every day from alcohol abuse, lives are ruined, relationships are destroyed....

I have a beer now and then, I used to drink a few beers a week but over the past year, I've pretty much stopped altogether.

I don't understand how you could "drink for the majority of the week, getting drunk about once a week" and not see the effect it had on your life, on your family, your friends....

It' saddens me to know that there are people who don't get it; that don't understand how excessive alcohol WILL ruin your life.

I smell something fishy...

Haven't been able to find any local news related to a high school student dying (in school or otherwise) due to alcohol poisoning...

It can also have a negative effect on your prostate.

There's a definite link between caffeine and an enlarged prostrate. You'll miss that when it's gone.

Alcohol does tend to cloud the memory.

I did a pretty extensive search and found nothing about a student dying...even in blogs from kids in that area.

Methinks I smell a rat.
