Teenage alcoholism is so important to recognise. It is not healthy to be getting absolutely wasted a few times a week and sometimes young adults become alcoholic without realising it. If you are unable to have a fun time without drinking or you feel like you need to drink when others are in an overwhelming way then consider getting help.
No really. Get help. It starts with parties, and then it’s “lol im just sad all the time” and before you know it everything is awful and you’re spiralling out of control. Don’t get sucked in and don’t let tumblr Depression Culture make you think it’s normal.

[caption: tweet from @ AishaaaMarie “Aisha” that says: alcoholism isnt the 50 year old white man on intervention, alot of the times its your homegirl who uses liq to cope and your good man thats lit 5 days of the week. lets talk]
going to add on to this and say that in heavily religious populations with access to alcohol, especially for teenagers, thats alcoholism too! theres a big difference between “small bit of wine” at kiddush and “teenager singlehandedly demolishes multiple bottles of wine at a seder” and it needs to not either be encouraged or ignored and avoided.
