In the recent past alcohol has been considered by many people as a "problem solver," and being that our nation is filled with problems and many people without consciences it's the easiest route to follow. After beginning on your way down this route it's easy to continue drinking and only put you further down the road. The further you bring yourself down that route the longer it takes to return back to a more stable and in my opinion, smarter life.
To begin, the night I attended the Cannady's party, hosted by their daughter Katie, many more things could have gone wrong. The least of which was the police coming to the house and giving everyone a sobriety test. Firstly, if I was to stay longer then I could have consumed a lot more alcohol and felt a lot worse. In correlation with, I could have become incredibly wild and out of control. Secondly, when leaving the party the person I was going to go home with could have been drunk. According to a drinking and driving website (http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/kids/research/drinking/index.cfm), every 30 minutes, someone in this country dies in an alcohol-related crash. I hope that everyone else at the party realizes that the parents were going to let kids leave and drive home drunk! I mean what in your mind is letting your daughter's friends allow that. It was a gift from God that I got caught drinking one beer that evening. Who knows what would have happened if the police hadn't busted the party? In conclusion, justice should be served harder than anyone else to the Cannady family.
Today, there are many things that can bring about teenage drinking. To start, to get away from the stress school brings. If someone's grades are falling they may believe drinking will balance it all out. I think, that drinking can only effect a situation, in a bad way. Falling grades all start out when a person or in my case myself begins to make many new friends and acquaintances.
