In one group, one kid wanted to try it, and he really liked it. Now drinking is common. Kids get a rush from doing it. It's like mountain climbing. Once they do it, they want to try again.
Teens love to do something they think they can get away with.
Kids who drink do worry about driving. There are designated drivers. If they're too drunk, some will spend the night at a friend's house and not come home. Some think they are better drivers. Kids definitely use designated drivers.
