My stance is it's alright if you do it responsibly. I don't drink often but everyone in my class does every weekend, I'm fine with that. I love to drink once in a while, I love white rum, Coorslight and MGD. Oh Hennessey's not to bad either ;). My parents are cool with drinking if it's done responsibly, since my brothers and sisters did it underage they know what to look for if it ever becomes a problem. I'm 17, one year off lol.
