Question by ajsaxton: Is prohibition against any and all alcoholic beverages for young people the best way to prevent alcohol abuse?
No. This indirectly encourages abuse by making drinking appear to be a mark of maturity or an initiation into adulthood.
Best answer:
Answer by Andre’ F No, because the more you keep telling someone they can not do something, the more they are going to get curious as to the why. I say try to be honest and explain to them what it is all about. Take the person to an area and let them witness what they will become. To put it mildly prohibition may actually encourage alcoholism because of a miss-communication on a bad day that may lead to wait till I get older. Although, some people never look at it that way.

PSA Commercial from Office of National Drug Control Policy / Partnership for a Drug Free American. Public Domain Public Service Announcement. Children and young teens start using marijuana for many reasons. Curiosity and the desire to fit into a social group are common reasons. Certainly, youngsters who have already begun to smoke cigarettes and/or use alcohol are at high risk for marijuana use. Also, research suggests that the use of alcohol and drugs by other family members plays a strong role in whether children start using drugs. Parents, grandparents, and older brothers and sisters in the home are models for children to follow. Some young people who take drugs do not get along with their parents. Some have a network of friends who use drugs and urge them to do the same (peer pressure). All aspects of a child’s environment – home, school, neighborhood – help to determine whether the child will try drugs. Children who become more heavily involved with marijuana can become dependent, and that is their prime reason for using the drug. Others mention psychological coping as a reason for their use – to deal with anxiety, anger, depression, boredom, and so forth. But marijuana use is not an effective method for coping with life’s problems, and staying high can be a way of simply not dealing with the problems and challenges of growing up. Researchers have found that children and teens (both male and female) who are physically and sexually abused are at greater risk than …

Question by Jessica: What can I do to help my friend in this time?
She just got out of a mild rehab for alcohol. It’s not my place to do things for her. She is almost 30. She’s a big girl and she can make her own decisions. I don’t want to “step on her toes” or anything. I just want to be there for my friend. What can I do to help?

Question by mizzdiva_1995: Good ideas for a rave (no drugs) party?
Ok so I’m having a Super Sweet 16 in May, 2011 and I wanted to have a rave themed party minus the drugs and alcohol. I live in Illinois so does anybody know of any teen clubs I could have it at? Any ideas on themes for a rave party? What I should wear for my grand entrance? Really any ideas would help? I’m at like a ,000-,000 budget and I wanna spend most of it on decorations and the venue so PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer by Brittney L Well a rave is just a techno party without the drugs and alcohol that’s the whole idea of a rave. Anyway a bunch of techno musicor a dj who plays techno, lights like black lights disco balls. I’d get a fog machine. You’ll need a bunch of glow sticks and glow lights and glow necklaces eventhough without the drugs it won’t have the same effect, but it’ll still look cool. You could get trippy black light posters to decorate the venue with. Since you have money to spare I’d hire someone to do a light show and have multi-color laser lights on your dance floor. Your dj may also be able to do that so I’d ask him first. And that’s about it. You want it to be dark so you can have the black light effect so if you wanted something extra you could maybe provide a non alcoholic bar so your friends can dance without passing out( water and sodas). The chances of you having it at a club isn’t likely. You might as well just take your friends to the club and not even bother with anything else. You need to rent out a banquet hall or party hall in your area. Then it can just be you and your friends and you can make it anyway you like. For your grand entrance you should wear somthing you can dance it. I like cocktail dresses. It depends on what you look like would help with exactly what your outfit should look like. If you have a small bust line I’d go with a strapless dress if you’re busty then go with a halter. If your light skin go with a darker color dress and if your darker then a pastel color. Since it’s a rave you may not wanna do a dress at all. Jeans and a dressy top like an over the shoulder black shimmery top with red lipstick is always great for light and dark skin girls but if red isn’t your color shorts and a cute top with heels can make your legs look great and give you plenty of room to dance in. Hope that helps!
