I myself have caved into peer pressure and started to drink. In my home town, binge drinking is pretty much all we do around here. Us teenagers find it hard to keep ourselves entertained so we do this for fun. Our town is one of the worst places for binge drinking teenagers in our state and I don't think that its going to get any better.
One person commented on rising the legal age of drinking to 21, but I'm pretty sure that if you yourself just turned 18 and could now have the right to have a drink you would not want that priviledge taken away. Raising the legal age will only make us teenagers rebel even more and keep on drinking.
Instead, I am in support of TV ads and campaiging to stop this.
