Binge drinking damaged my liver
Step 1: Binge drinking
Well, there was a group of my friends that went off to Uni and I stayed at home. I saw them when they came back but, we were just kind of still hanging around when they went back to Uni. So I started drinking and doing stupid stuff, as you do. I didn't really think there was anything wrong with it, to be honest with you.

I felt I had to drink to fit in
Step 1: Drinking with friends
Like all my friends, I was young when I started drinking. I felt like I had to do it, to be a part of my group. But then every time we got together we started drinking more and more. Everyone started getting drunk. We started playing drinking games to see who could down the most. Obviously there was other stuff going on, like football and basketball. But we just wanted to get drunk, just for the fun of it.
