1.How old are you?: 19
2. Sex: Chica
3. In the past have you consumed alcohol? : Yes
4.How do you feel underage drinking impacts the teenage population? : I actually believe that in a large amount of instances it is very negative, because a significant amount of teens simply drink to get drunk, not just drink on a social level (not saying everyone just the people I have come into contact with)
5. (If you do consume) How often do you drink alcohol? : I no longer do, haven't for 2 years now, just never developed a taste for it whatsoever.
6. Who do you feel influences you most to consume alcohol? : I am not influenced just because for me personally I find it better not to drink, and I have more fun, but this is just me personally my husband socially drinks on occasion and I have no problem with it.
7. How Do you feel your peers influence you in your choice to consume/ not consume alcohol?: I feel some people pressure me even more because they see that I don't do it so it is almost as if they want to break the barrier in a sense haha
8. Do you feel there’s pressure from peers/ teenagers to consume alcohol? Why is this? : There is pressure obviously but it is up to the individual to make the choice that best suites them.
9. How do others influence your drinking patterns?: Not at all whatsoever, I really have no desire to drink, and some people can appreciate that.
10. In general how much alcohol are you likely to consume? : Haha none
11. Where are you most likely to drink? : Nowhere
12. If you were at a party around peers who are drinking do you feel you are more likely to drink? Why do you think this is? Nope I feel that they have personally made that choice to drink and I have not so there is not a pressure for me to do so because I have no need or desire to drink.
13. Do you feel peers are the main influence to underage drinking, please explain : Basically, but I also feel that it is a personal choice and preference in many cases also.
14. Do you feel as age increases there is more pressure to drink alcohol? Do you feel there is also pressure/ expectations to consume large quantities of alcohol? No even now 2 years later I still have no desire to drink, and I do not see that changing in the future it is just my personal choice that I feel is very important to me and who I am.
I know this survey was not geared to someone who does not drink, but I thought it would be nice just to give my perspective ( =

1.How old are you? 18
2. Sex? giirl
3. In the past have you consumed alcohol? yess
4.How do you feel underage drinking impacts the teenage population? it just depends if they drink on a constant basis. like every weekend. i think in the end it can mess them up
5. (If you do consume) How often do you drink alcohol? never anymore. i haven't since like summer of 2008
6. Who do you feel influences you most to consume alcohol? myself. i know if i don't want ot i don't have to
7. How Do you feel your peers influence you in your choice to consume/ not consume alcohol? they don't influence me. they can drink and i can sit there and not drink and they're not going to try and coax me to do it
8. Do you feel there’s pressure from peers/ teenagers to consume alcohol? Why is this? i think some people do feel pressured to drink. people are all oh but everybody's doing it and if you're not doing it too then you won't have any fun. but, i personally have never felt pressured to drink by any of my peers
9. How do others influence your drinking patterns? they don't. i haven't drank in a long time
10. In general how much alcohol are you likely to consume? until i know i should stop. i can usually tell when i've had enough

13. Do you feel peers are the main influence to underage drinking, please explain: sort of. i mean in the end it's the persons choice whether or not they want to pick up the drink. but, peers can sit there and say stuff that makes the person pick up the drink. i think that's what happens in a lot of situations
14. Do you feel as age increases there is more pressure to drink alcohol? Do you feel there is also pressure/ expectations to consume large quantities of alcohol? yes and yes. as you get older (but, not 21) it's easier to get alcohol which means there's more pressure to drink it. and i'm sure there is pressure to drink a lot of it. even though i myself have never felt that pressure.
