I think drinking is not okay, especially for high school kids.

1) Drinking only gives you temporary reprieve when you feel awkward in these situations. If you were able to get your own social fears by yourself or find your own courage or learn to relax by yourself, that courage/new ability to cope in social situations would stick with you as opposed to going away when you aren't under the influence anymore. Turning to these substances for reprieve seems very weak to me. Being bale to cope in these situations by yourself seems to show much more strength than relying on drinks.

2) Even if someone speaks their mind while drunk, its not WHO they are. Who you are is not your thoughts, its what you think mixed with what you choose to say. Someones who drunk says whats on their mind which is changing who they are even if for a small period of time.

3) Obvious reasons such as lack of judgement, possible drunk driving accidents, making a mistake, illegal, and being pushed into a sexual situation.

4) One can argue that things like video games and book change you mentally too just like drinking does. I.E an inspiring character in a book inspires you to be more confident and alcohol making you more confident, although the product in the same in both situations, the means of achieving it are not the same in the way that drinking physically changes you while being exposed to new ideas in like books and stuff present you with new ideas and give you the choice to act on it and the products stick with you in one case and not the others

Tl;Dr: In summation, drinking is not okay because it gives you only temporary bravery and stuff when acting as a social lubricant, it changes who you are as a person, and it promotes weakness. There's also the obvious like drunk driving and bad decisions. It also isn't necessary and every possible possible effect it could have on you is able to be accomplished through other means.

I want to prematurely thank you guys because I'm very obdurate in my view of this but I really want to change it to help me be more accepting of what others around me do. Please help my change my view!

I think you mean getting drunk. It doesn't seem like your post says anything against drinking.  Do you think there's something wrong with having a glass of wine or a beer or two at dinner or when hanging out with friends?
