Friends into clubbing, I'm not Options

Uhh isn't it illegal anyway to go "clubbing" if you're not 21?
What club could a teen possibley go to, to get drunk. I'm surprised that hasn't even been broughten up. The fact that it's illegal for anyone under the age of 21 should be reason enough not to get f**ked-up drunk, right?

All this damn pure pressure has made teens think it's okay to drink, or "cool" to get drunk and have "horny orgys" lol.

Anyway, good thing you're not into going out getting drunk f**king chicks. Props. Find some non-alcoholic activities like you have been doing.
Be cool stay in school.

There are a lot of clubs that are 18+ and most of the time, it's the bouncers outside the club that card you and not the bartender, so once you're in, even if you don't have a wristband or whatever, it's really easy to get alcohol. And no, just because it's illegal to drink doesn't really make it reason enough not to drink.

I really don't think it's peer* pressure that makes teens drink. If you know what it's like to be drunk and dislike it, then usually, you wont drink anymore. And if people are "pressuring" you to drink, you should be strong enough to say no.

So... to the topic. It really comes down to your (and their) ability to compromise. If I want to hang out with a friend who really likes to see movies while I really like to go shopping (for example), we either don't hang out or I do her thing one night and she do my thing another night. Now, I really like to go clubbing and I have some friends who really hate it, so I usually hang out with them the night or day before I go out, etc. It really shouldn't be that hard. Nobody can drink and party every single night and not eventually burn out, so I don't really know where there's a problem. Hang out with them when they're not clubbing and go find other friends when they are.

I have a friend who goes to a lot of parties and doesn't drink. She's there to watch the other drunk people, which is sometimes very entertaining, and to help out her friends when they need it. You can still spend a lot of time with them at the parties and clubs. There's bound to be someone else there like you, and maybe you can talk to them.
