Binge Drinking Persuasive Speech
Teen drinking it's been around hmmm... forever? A handful of teens gather around in some kids basement who's parents don't truly love them and drink that devil sauce. I was scrolling through the Reddits, and came across this article, "Alcohol use, binge drinking continues to fall among underage, reports finds". I honestly didn't believe it, I've only remember hearing bad stuff about my generation. Like how we're more lazier than the past generations, higher pregnancy among teens, not as capable as others. BUT look at us now! We don't love the sauce as much as you guys(past generations)!

Robert Gebelhoff writer for the Washington Post says, "A new government report found that both drinking and binge drinking among young people fell significantly

    Critics argue that teenagers in other countries with a lower drinking age are less likely to binge drink and be dependent on alcohol. However, Shari Roan from the LA Times explains, “…that studies show the younger someone starts drinking, the greater the likelihood of developing alcohol dependence”. Countries with lower drinking ages have had severe problems with binge drinking amongst youth (Roan). This shows that teenagers do know how to drink in moderation. Most teenagers do not drink in moderation or measure their drinking; they drink carelessly to get drunk. Teens are developing their bad habits early on because nobody is teaching them moderation.…

It is embedded in the Australian culture and is often used as a means of celebration, socialisation and enjoyment. However, despite the integral part alcohol plays, misuse of the drug results in social, emotional, physical and financial issues.

    Yes, one of the most widely available drugs on the market, alcohol, is making headline news again as the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) releases a report that one in five high school girls engage in binge drinking.

    Just over nine years ago my hometown of Cameron was absolutely devastated by a terrible accident that took the life of a high school junior. After the homecoming parade, many high schoolers were racing back to the school so they could get ready for the big game that was to follow later that night. As one group returned to the school the driver tried to show off his truck by slamming on the accelerator while pulling into the parking lot. What he forgot about was the two girls sitting on his toolbox in the bed of his truck. As he veered the corner both were thrown from the truck, instantly killing one and severely injuring the other. It was believed that underage drinking was one of the leading factors that may have caused this accident.…
