risks of drinking? Options

[jennyjenny]

so this friday, my friend told me to go drinking with her and her friend.

they do it every weekend. i seemed to care before, about their health and stuff, but now i don't really.

don't get me wrong, they're not forcing me to drink-- it's my decision. and i want to.

so tell me, what are the risks?

i know that if you drink too much you can like die.
and that if you get caught then you can get fined/whatever.
you might get addicted,
it gives you a terrible hangover.
and you might do something you regret.

so what else?

oh, one question.
it might seem stupid, but say you drink once and you're applying for a job sometime in the next year or so. it won't show up will it? on the drug test, i mean. i know it's not a drug, but just making sure.

Remember that it makes you gain weight too!
that would be a good reason not to drink. When people go on diets the main thing they cut out is Bread, Alcohol, and Carbs. Alcohol packs on weight.
Also, yes hangover and you feel like crap. You damage your liver. You usually Vomit or pass out, and that's never a good thing. It causes death, break ups in families, you lose friends and loved ones, you can basically kill yourself with it or get addicted, you can start to gain weight, and you just woke up in your own vomit. I don't understand why you would want that. But those are the side effects.
I used to drink, and let's just say i will never do that again.
