Dear 13 year old:

"Getting Drunk" isn`t all it`s cracked up to be. You will regret the decision not just because of your age, but as you are pewking your guts and praying to God to never do it again. All you will have to show for your "drink fest" is a really bad hangover. As a 35 year old woman who drinks too much wine, I can tell you not to start. Enjoy being 13. It only comes ONCE. Good luck.

Funny how reading your post brought back a memory that I really would like to forget....
I was 15 years old when a friend of mine brought us a six pack of Schlitz Malt Liquor... That`s a beer, and a bad beer at that. Anyway, two beers was all it took to have me on my knees, hugging the toilet and feeling horrible. Your wine coolers aren`t as strong, nor will you probably get sick off just two or three. BUT... You will feel horrible afterward because your not a drinker and your system isn`t use to alcohol. But the physical feelings will be nothing compared to what you will feel thinking about the trust your mom and dad put in to you.
Everything you do now will play a role in how you handle things down the road. Tell your friend your just not into drinking... Plain and simple. You`ll feel better all the way around.
And as crazy as this sounds, talk to your mom about it. I have a 11 year old daughter and I we`ve talked openly about the choices she`s going to have to make. Smoking, drinking etc., and I`ve openly acknowledged that I won`t be there when she`s faced with these choices, but that if she feels the need to try smoking or a glass of wine then to PLEASE come to me and smoke right in front of me, or drink the wine in front of me.
At 48 years old, I already know that both will make her sick and I don`t want her sneaking around behind my back.
Now listen, I`m not encouraging here.... In fact, the reason I want her to test these things with me is so that I can supervise. When she was 9, she was at her dads house and picked up his vodka and 7 thinking it was her sprite... It was so bad she spit it in the sink.
So, I know she (and you) aren`t going to like the taste of alcohol... Nobody does at first... If you want to try it, try it at home with your mom or dad or both. And be honest with them. They will appreciate and respect you for it... L CAN PROMISE YOU THAT... They were kids once too... They understand... In fact, start the conversation by asking them if they remember the first time they tried alcohol and ask them how old they were and what it was like.
