I don't think its right to rat out a bunch of teenagers for drinking. It causes more problems then it solves. But if you want to be a little bitch and call the police, go ahead.
alright, so lets turn over to the other side too for a moment here
for this case, lets just use .gov websites so we don't step too close to any websites that may over exaggerate the dangers of underaged drinking
http://www.niaaa.nih.gov/alcohol-health/special-populations-co-occurring-disorders/underage-drinkinghttp://report.nih.gov/nihfactsheets/viewfactsheet.aspx?csid=21http://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/fact-sheets/underage-drinking.htmhttp://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/UnderageDrinking/Underage_Fact.pdfToday, in addition to the age 21 minimum legal drinking age, all States have passed zero-tolerance laws that make it illegal for people under age 21 to drive after drinking any alcohol.
Youth who drink alcohol are more likely to experience;
School problems, such as higher absence and poor or failing grades.
Social problems, such as fighting and lack of participation in youth activities.
Legal problems, such as arrest for driving or physically hurting someone while drunk.
Physical problems, such as hangovers or illnesses.
Unwanted, unplanned, and unprotected loveual activity.
Disruption of normal growth and loveual development.
Physical and loveual assault.
Higher risk for Self Delete and homicide.
Alcohol-related car crashes and other unintentional injuries, such as burns, falls, and drowning.
Memory problems.
Abuse of other drugs.
Changes in brain development that may have life-long effects.
Death from alcohol poisoning.
Underage drinking risks include:
Death – 4,358 people under age 21 die each year from alcohol-related car crashes, homicides, Self Deletes, alcohol poisoning, and other injuries such as falls, burns, and drowning.
Serious injuries – More than 190,000 people under age 21 visited an emergency room for alcohol-related injuries in 2008 alone.
Impaired judgment – Drinking can cause kids to make poor decisions, which can then result in risky behavior like drinking and driving, loveual activity, or violence.
Increased risk for physical and loveual assault – Youth who drink are more likely to carry out or be the victim of a physical or loveual assault.
Brain development problems – Research shows that brain development continues well into a person’s twenties. Alcohol can affect this development, and contribute to a range of problems.
In addition, studies with animals and alcohol dependent adolescents show that alcohol has the potential to impact adolescent brain development. Given recent research which shows that the human brain continues to develop throughout adolescence, we need to better understand the short- and long-term effects of alcohol on the developing brain.
Youth who start drinking before age 15 years are five times more likely to develop alcohol dependence or abuse later in life than those who begin drinking at or after age 21 years.
Alcohol use by persons under age 21 years is a major public health problem. Alcohol is the most commonly used and abused drug among youth in the United States, more than tobacco and illicit drugs1, and is responsible for more than 4,300 annual deaths among underage youth. Although drinking by persons under the age of 21 is illegal, people aged 12 to 20 years drink 11% of all alcohol consumed in the United States. More than 90% of this alcohol is consumed in the form of binge drinks. On average, underage drinkers consume more drinks per drinking occasion than adult drinkers. In 2010, there were approximately 189,000 emergency rooms visits by persons under age 21 for injuries and other conditions linked to alcohol.
nobody should be considered a 'little bitch' for reporting heavy, underaged drinking
and damp, you said some came by car? there's the risk they'll probably end up driving drunk, and potentially endanger their own life, or in a lot of cases, another person(s)
included on some of the sites you can find references and citations
and also jesus christ, just call the police, you're dragging this question on for too long
