It baffles me the more I think about it. Why do teens want to get drunk at parties or in general? I understand having one or two drinks to loosen up and become less nervous at a party, but you have a choice to keep going or to stop and many teens keep going and I don't understand why. There is no benefit to drinking (except wine, I understand that a glass or two of wine a night has health benefits). You become an obnoxious idiot when drunk and if you drink excessively you are wasting time partying when you could be doing something more productive.
The only thing I can think of is that alcohol is illegal until 21 (in the United States) and so it is a "cool" and "edgy" to drink when you're underage and you want to stand up to the man and be a rebel.
Can anyone shed light on why certain teens love to get wasted? I must be a really boring person because I do not see why it is appealing.
