I personally don’t agree with drug use. I don’t see why someone would want to alter their state of mind like that for recreation, but that’s just me.

I’ve never been big on alcohol, and my family hasn’t either, but I think it’s fine in moderation. I don’t think it’s cool to get drunk, though. I can’t see myself being much of a drinker in the future, but I think I would be open to trying some drinks, once I’m of legal age.

That may sound like a “goody-two-shoes” response, but just because tons of other teens experiment with drugs and drink while they’re young doesn’t mean I have to follow suit.
