Drinking alcohol can mess you up
But everybody’s doing it! In fact, most teenagers don’t drink. Less than 1 in 4 kids try alcohol. Most choose not to. Why? They want to stay sharp, do well in school, make music, art, dance, play video games, play sports, engage with their community, their friends, their family and not mess up their future. It’s a risk not everyone is willing to take. Are you?
