They don't realize how serious it can  be to their life. It could cause them to be an alcoholic or maybe a homeless person. Many homeless people are homeless because of drugs and being an alcoholic. More and more teens turn to alcohol for a stress reliever such as Marijuana. Drinking causes them to forget things they want to forget and if drinking is involved they could be risking their lives.
