Yes there is nothing like watching a friend die from alcohol poisoning because he overdrank at a High School party, went into the bathroom to vomit up blood, and passed out on the floor, thus escaping notice for over 2 hours.
Drinking in moderation is okay. But I seriously think people underestimate the effects of alcohol. It can be addictive. It can kill you in so many ways - liver failure, poisoning, or even getting into a car after having had a few drinks.
Moderation is key.
And as for love- well you will fall in and out of love many times in your life. Enjoy each experience and learn something to better yourself as a person.
I guess the best advice I could give is, don't try and grow up too fast. Because I'll tell you there's rarely one day that goes by where I don't wish (if for only a split second, while I'm paying my mortgage or taking crap from my boss or trying to get my car boosted because it died) I was 10 years old again.
