The Alcohol Advisory Council of New Zealand recently launched a hard-hitting advertising campaign. Their message is ‘It’s not the drinking. It’s how we’re drinking’ Sadly, it is so true.

I have two granddaughters 19 and 20 who think you have to drink to have fun...note the ages it's even illegal in this state. My daughter has fought, ended up checking into teen parties where many parents seem to think if you spend the night (they take the car keys) the kids should be able to do it. Where do their attitudes come from? Anyway try though we may and we continue. It is a problem. I hope I am able to have both my granddaughters and my grandson who is 13 read and think about this information. Again, I wouldn't mind this going to my site as Danni has done before...We're doing a new page and we issues we're dealing with however, this would be great.... Thank you so much..I've been sick with cancer since December so I'm just getting back to normal (just finished 6 months of chemo) and glad to be reading Danni again..

I for one look back at some of the situations I placed myself in when I was a drunk teen and cannot help but think it was just blind luck that kept me from being seriously hurt! I want us to strive for more for each generation - not accept less as there is a historical precedent for harm! Brilliantly put Sonia!

It has always been "cool" to get drunk as many Australians will tell you but this doesn't make it o.k.. If we continue to view teenage drinking in this way then history will continue to repeat it itself and escalate out of control. There is enough evidence to support that it is getting worse with each generation and this should be evidence enough for many to stop using that same old line … “I did it when I was a kid … and it didn’t hurt me.” Hogwash !!! Many seem to (choose) to forget those incidences that left them vulnerable, ashamed or hurt. Jane I agree that we cannot bury our heads in the sand.

It's disturbing and sad. How long has it been (in decades) since it was NOT cool to be drunk for teenagers? Great piece Jane, an honest appraisal. It’s disturbing and sad.
