My parents weren’t ok with me drinking, butmy cousin and her friend introduced it to me at 16. I’d never done anything to disobey my parents before, so it was a rush to start, so I did it more and more. My cousin didn’t think it was a big deal because her mom let her drink when she was 15. All these people who are saying NEVER let them before 21 are giving rebelious teenagers a reason to drink. As teenagers, we want to rebel, and drinking is a way to do that if you make alcohol an unspoken taboo. Its like saying DON’T HAVE SEX…people are going to wonder what the big deal is, and they’ll experiment.
