Binge drinking is a new big worry in high schools. According to centers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 45% of teenagers have consumed alcohol in the past month and 64% admit to having more than five drinks in a row. We all know the effects alcohol has on the human body, such as your inhibitions being messed up. Well the more teenagers drink, the more likely they are to perform badly in school and engage in sexual activity and things they would usually not agree to while sober. Teens need to watch how much they drink and their surroundings because as a teen we feel we are in no danger and too young to die, but nothings impossible and accidents happen, especially when under the condition of drinking.
