Would money motivate you not to drink underage?
After his fourteen-year-old daughter Mariah was hit and killed by a twenty-year-old drunk driver, Leo McCarthy offered her classmates to take Mariah’s Challenge in memory of his daughter. He told them at her eulogy, “If you stick with me for four years don’t use alcohol, don’t use illicit drugs but give back to your community, work with your parents and talk to your parents, I’ll be there with a bunch of other people to give you money.”
He gives $1,000 scholarships to those who have taken Mariah’s Challenge.
Would money motivate you to wait until you were twenty-one to drink?

Personally that would not motivate me, seeing how I drink on occasion and in a safe place. If I’m going to drink, I’m going to do it at a friends house or party where it is indoors or in the backyard and I have a place to sleep, so I don’t need to risk getting home late at night. All I can say is as long as you drink responsibly and know your limits you should be fine.
