Sometime's it's peer pressure
Or just for the 'buzz'
But is it that fun,
When your brain turns to fuzz?

Wanting to show off
To act all big and cool
But you don't look so sexy
Covered in sick and drool

Everyone's doing it
So why not join in?
But it's not that nice
Being sick in a bin

It takes all your worries
And hides all your fears
But that's not so good
When he's getting too near

Lose all inhibitions
It's all out your mind
But if you fall pregnant
He's not always so 'kind'

It's the alcohol that does it,
But it's your choice to drink
You could just say no
Not as hard as you think.

It's ok to have a laugh
Let it go from time to time
But just be careful
Alcohol bears a fine line.


*This poem is not trying to be sexist when it mentions boys as the bad ones-it's just because I'm a girl so I use boys coz there the opposite sex!

I don't totally agree with you your poem because most of the time when people I know drink or I do we don't lose control.And if you do lose control or do something stupid it's because you don't know your limit.I'm not saying anyone should drink but if your going to be smart about it.Oh and just to let you know not everyone drinks to be cool or fit in some like myself drink to deal with depression.But anyway nice poem I like it and keep up the great work.

Not everyone does it cause its cool, at first you don't like it blindly, when you get to like it in a mature way, then you drink just because you like it, not because what is cool.For mature people what is cool, is what they like, knowing always what is right and wrong, drinking is not wrong, as long as you act mature about it. Anyway good poem.

Not everyone drinks because they think its "cool", but alot of people DO. So many teens give way to peer pressure just to fit in, going against what they truly want, and takeing part in such activities as drinking. Some people may keep thier wits when they drink, but alot don't. So I agree with your poem. You may have been drunk, but its no excuse, it was still YOUR decision, and your responsibility, since YOU chose to drink. Nice write.

Liefhe alle ten spijte van duivel... A tes souhaits... A tes amours... Qu ils restent. J'ai t'adore. Je t'aime.

I completely agree with this poem.  It doesn't look so hot, does it?  Not so attractive, contrary to popular belief.  Maybe this will make people think next time.  Thanks for posting this, I enjoyed it

Those that end up being sick obviously can't hold their booze.
Your piece is a good anti-drinking but not entirely correct. Each to their own belief though, huh?  

Thanks for sharing.
