Why do so many people ask about getting drunk?

Because in this country, we have vilified alcohol despite it being readily available and used by the vast majority of adults. There is no discussion regarding responsible consumption, simply: Don't do it. Until you're 21. Many teenagers and first timers are unsure of the effects, amounts, etc., because adults treat them like children and don't have responsible discussions.

I think lots of times it is just kids being silly. I mean come really they do not know how to get drunk? You hit the nail on the head it is immature people asking stupid questions like that.

i don't know. notice most of the questions come from like 13 or 14 year olds wondering what to drink and where? i personally ask questions on this "topic" such as good mix drink recipes. i've got a few good ones by asking questions in this section.

Watchdog, methinks you have answered your own question, immature youths cannot, or dare not ask their parents (probably `cos they don`t know who their father is, dysfunctional family life, scared of being slapped for being interested in drink , being accused of being drunk, just `cos they ask) so they come on these pages, and get answers from their peers

maybe most of them are first timers.
