[Scene: School hallway.]
Angela: Hey Max, whatcha' doing?
Max: Shut up or we're both dead.
Angela: What are you doing with that beer?
Max: Look, as far as anyone should be concerned it's an energy drink.
Angela: No, it's not. It's a drink chock full of alcohol, caffeine and sugar. My parents don't even drink the stuff. Where'd you get it?
Max: Look, it ain't a big deal. I just tricked my folks into thinking it was an energy drink.
Angela: The big deal is it's ALCOHOLIC! Where'd you get it?
Max: I went to my brother's party a few days ago and everyone was drinking. I did too and guys started to notice me. I figured if I drink more, I'd be able to get a boyfriend.
Angela: But it's illegal!
Max: Who cares? Want a sip?
Angela: Ew, gross Max. I'm sorry, I've got to go.
Angela: Many teenagers in the U.S. are underage drinkers. In a study, 3 million teenagers were addicted to alcohol. Stop underage drinking. Alcohol has NO place in the lives of teens!
