You’re 17 years old, a senior in high school. You’re at your after-prom party, having the time of your life, when your best friend walks up and offers you a beer. You’d like to say yes…

STOP! Here are three good reasons that you should say NO:

1: It’s A Powerful Substance – alcohol is a powerful drug that can wreak terrible damage when used irresponsibly. Irresponsible drinking has cost countless numbers of people their lives, and ruined many other peoples’ lives.

2: It’s Wrong – It’s against the law for you to drink if you’re under 21 (in the U.S.). That is a plenty good reason to say no to underage drinking. Our nation, and in fact the entire universe, is founded upon laws designed to protect us. It’s illegal to drink unless you’re 21 or over, so don’t do it!

3: The consequences – If you decide to drink before you’re 21, you’re risking quite a few consequences. Even if you don’t get caught by “the law”, your parents or your school may punish you, or you might hurt yourself or someone else. If you are caught, you could face jail time. It’s just not worth it.

Alcohol: It’s Powerful. Treat it with respect.
