Question by erowidkid: Why do people have problems with underage drinking?
I am an eighteen year old who has been reviewing the different posts/questions regarding underage drinking. I have encountered several people who get quite upset at those of us who are alright with the issue and I thought it would be fun to see a debate on yahoo answers. Heres my opinion, I am eighteen years old have had a job since 14, two jobs since 15 and maintained a B+ gpa throughout high school. I certainly think I am mature enough and responsible enough to determine if I am capable of drinking alcohol. But even for those who are not so responsible, is it not their lives, should they not be given the option to ruin it if they please. Overall, my basic philosophy for life is that anyone should be able to do what they please as long as they do not hurt anyone else in the process. Thus I certainly do not support drinking and driving or such dangerous situations. What exactly is wrong with this philosophy.

Answer by David B
Insight therapies focus on the underlying thought patterns, emotions, and cognitions in the treatment of disorders. Some examples include psychodynamic therapy and cognitive therapy. So, for example, if somebody is depressed, cognitive therapy would examine the pattern of negative thoughts that cause depression (“My girlfriend never calls…she must be cheating…i am so worthless…”).

Question by g: Has “rehab” as an excuse/scapegoat gone to far?
time and time again, people do stupid things and say “I’m going to rehab”… and then it seems to be ok…

politicians, on both sides (foley to many kennedys)… and many stars… now Miss USA today…

is this a “get out of jail free” card now?

ah… *too* far.. right?
well… a rare meeting of the minds… but I say… if you can’t hold your alcohol…don’t drink…

Answer by Chainsaw
Yes. It is a lack of leadership on Trump’s part. All we do is make excuses for bad behavior. The Miss USA should have been canned. She chose to drink and do drugs. She needs to be held accountable.
