What's the obsession with drinking?

I'm 13, and like everyone alse my age is like "yeah I got p!ssed last night, I had 12 wkd's", I'm like I dont care, I really do not care. I don't get why people get so impressed by drinking, im like don't want get drunk (maybe it's because my dad an alcoholic, but you know).
I don't have the mental urge to get drunk? everyone else does
why don't I?

Well a lot of drinking done at that age is due to peer pressure and wanting to fit in and look cool. Honestly I didnt drink till I turned 18 (which is when it's legal where I come from) but I'm guessing that's part of the reason...

most people start because they think it's cool..or else because they want to loosen up a little and get more confidence...

they were the reasons why I started...(plus I just wanted to try it because every1 around me seemed to enjoy it so much)...oh and at one point I also did it because I was depressed and tought it would make me happier...it didnt!!!
...anyway they were all bad reasons to start because in the long run it doesnt make a diffrence(as you seem smart enough to already know that!!)...it does make you loosen up and get more confidence..but not for long..and you just keep makin a fool of yourself...I overcame my shyness though so I dont feel the need for it at all...
im not going to lie though...I do still drink...I just find it fun...I am a dumbass with these things though so il probly regret drinkin later on...because my mum has her problems with drink too...but you only live once an I like 2 do what I feel like doin so im going to keep doin it !!! like once a month or every few months is all though...which is nothing compared 2 my bro and sis...

sorry I blabbed on talkin sh*t...that always happens...my bad...ayway go you not drinkin!!!finally someone with common sense!!!

peer pressure, dont drink it's not cool and it ages you faster.

I don't. at all.
but the biggest reason I don't do it is becauseee.. my biggest fear of all time is throwing up. andd I know if you get too drunk, then whoops, you puke.

because there's an age limit on when you can drink, kids think that drinking and getting pissed makes them look older and / or more mature.
