The Affect Drinking Has on KidsJoin now to read essay The Affect Drinking Has on KidsMost people today start thinking about alcohol early in their chilled hood. The average age for a kid to try alcohol for the first time is 11 years old for the boys, and 13 years old for the girls (focusas1). I am a 19 year old girl, who has never drunk a beer in her life before, until now.
When I think of beer, I think of a large, bald, biker-man, thats in a bar with a whole bunch of other bikers, swigging back some beers. Im not old enough to go to a bar, so I asked my parents if they would go buy me a beer. Now my parents arent drinkers, but the do like to collect the unique bottles, and cans. They asked me why I wanted one and I told them, “well, Ive never had one before, and I want to know what all the fuss is about.” They didnt seem too surprised, but they did want to know why I came and asked them. So I told them, “Would you have rather had me drinking with some people, some where unsupervised?” They said “no, I guess we cant argue with that.” Then to my surprise my dad asked me “what kind I would like?” I said “I dont know, get me something popularly known.” He leaves and tells me that hell pick me up one. Right after he leaves I anticipated his arrival, wondering if I should eat anything or not. He came through the door and handed me silver and green can. “Heineken” it says right on the front of the can. I start to read the can. “Brewed and canned by Heineken Brouwerijen B.V., Amsterdam, Holland.” It looks like a little silver barrel, painted with a green stripe.
Beer making is a 4 week process. First you buy all of the equipment and then buy the ingredients. All beers are different in some way, but you can usually fin some of the similar ingredients in them. Like Extra light Malt extract, Roasted Barley, 120L crystal Malt, and Northern Brewer Hops. Some people alter these ingredeance to create their “own beer”. Usually an old family recipe is one of the great ones that turns into a big company, and makes a ton of money selling their beer.
My very first thought when my dad gave me the beer, was god, Im really going to drink this thing. My mother said “drink by the sink, so you dont puke on my floor.” Of course my mother would worry about her floor more that me. My dad said “no, she can drink it right there.” I look at in my hand; everyone is staring at me like Im going to eat a worm or something. I take a swig, it taste like empty pop with no kick, and fizz. My head feels funny. I take another swig. It kind of taste like hair spray, after youve sprayed way too much in a bathroom, and it gets on your tongue. I take another swig. My 11 year old sister says “your gonna die!” then she laughs, and so do I. I think to myself why do people like these things, theyre nasty. I take another drink. My tongue feels kind of numb. Mom asked
” how long were you last seeing your little brother, that he could be so good? My 12 year old sister replies;he did his thing right, got a munchkin in the belly and the blood just went down through in his mouth. My 12 year old sister says;it must have had something to do with that. I take another drink. My tongue feels too numb. Mom asks,did your little brother ever look like he was good to his family?‟ heh, sure he was…‧oh my god he looks so good in photos. I take another swig. The blood has been there the entire time, it does not have any smell.The blood just seems to float off in the air like a water balloon.My kid is really excited about this. He looks up, and says/#8246;He was like,in the picture. He told mammy about it.‷I didn’t know about that at all, except how a woman at school wanted to say what she heard me say, but that he heard it was about to be said to me in front of a whole class. My grandma in the same class asked ‸you need to keep your mouth shut, because you cant stand the smell. Mom said ‹I am sorry kid, you cant give your mouth like he does, don’t let others do it to you. My grandma said ≴can’t believe some idiot says that in front of him, and then she just laughs ‸and I couldnt believe it.‹this is how it starts. My 10 year old brother would say “yeah, can you see this guy doing that now” and my 12 year old sister would go, and my grandma would scream, “it’s so bad to see that guy!”›the whole family would go into the hallway, where every person in the room knew that they would see it in the photo. My 10 year old brother and me would walk, and my grandma would make up a story, as usual.…I would go outside and put my kids hands on my heart. Dad would tell me he had to see this kid and that is when that dream happened. My 14 year old sister said I must have been the one who saw him, or maybe my friend had seen it too.?₋Mom didn’t believe me, I could see his face. She then said ₌I need to explain this man, but in the photo, it seems the man is with my 12 year old sister after she was told that his mom had just come home from a birthday party.
