Alcohol Cartoon

You just made the Varsity tennis team and are eager to fit in with the upperclassmen. You're happy, at first, when the team captain calls you over after practice...

What should you do?

You could make up an excuse for why you can't go to the party. You won't have to tell your teammates you don't want to drink and risk them thinking you're lame, but you're just putting off an inevitable confrontation.

Go to the party and have a drink. You're in high school and old enough to make your own decisions. Your teammates might like you and become your friends, but you're letting yourself down and will probably be hungover for the tournament.

Tell the captain that you'd like to come to the party but you won't be drinking. You're telling the truth and honoring the athletic agreement you signed, but you risk losing the respect and possible friendship of your teammates.
