From what I understand, countries whose cultures allow early drinking do not have as much alcoholism and binge drinking problems than countries who restrict drinking to older ages. It is that way because it is simply ‘no big deal’ to have a drink there. With the mysticism of it gone, there is actually less incentive to drink. My parents allowed me to try drinks at home. And after one period of heavy drinking in my 20’s, I hardly drink at all now, simply because I really don’t want to. Been there, done that, so what?
Baughbe as much as I agree, that’s not necessary true. I believe it falls more into the nation’s national culture on how the drinking is presumed. For example in the US the media glamorizes underage drinking and makes it more appealing than it is. We grow up watching teens in movie just jugging down liquor with no issue. And truth be told who wouldn’t want to be there. Now they also strategically tend to avoid hang over, addiction, or alcohol poisoning. So when we do drink we come to a not so nice surprise.
So what I’m trying to say is that it depends on how drinking is defined in a nation. The US has issues with and its restricted, and Mexico has issue it with it when its very unrestricted (I can tell you that with first hand experience).
MY TWEETY TWOTES
I love it, last week someone commented last week that Dustin never said anything, now he was the comic relief of this strip.
…Teenage drinking?
INCONCEIVABLE.
Teenage drinking is a myth. just like big foot and the lochness monster.
That would be my comment from last strip Dallas. Dustin is having some good recoup time, now to wait for the hangover…
hello ??? : where I live, teenagers fill the pubs everywhere. I think the age to drink is 18, but… as long as they bring money, who cares?
haha great comic. If you don’t win, party!

That’s great. I’m 19, and I’m totally drinking Jack Daniels RIGHT NOW.

But who likes the taste of alcohol, anyway? XD
I have to say, sir, that your depiction of teen aged youths is both offensive AND irresponsible.
In other words… Great job!
