Pliedes, it's good to see that you're a proponent of safe drinking now. That makes two of us.
I feel like I have made my points in this thread, those points being that to any teenager, alcohol does more harm than good. You yourself said that you're not going to drink this semester, so you can focus on your grades. So apparantly there is a corelation between alcohol and GPA now too.
To me, it all comes down to one thing: The potential cons of alcohol far outweigh the pros...so I have chosen not to drink (or at least not to drink more than the occasional sip here and there). I have alcholism in my family, and I've seen it's effects on people. If alcohol is hereditary, then I want no part of it.
It's just a personal decision for me.
If you (or anyone else for that matter) want to drink, go right ahead, just don't be too closed-minded that you don't at least weigh the pros and cons of not drinking.
More people have died because they chose to drink alcohol, than people who have died because they chose not to drink alcohol. I like living...so no alcohol for me.
I feel I'm done here, I've said what I've had to say...there ya go.
