Here Are Some of the Most Frequently Used Excuses:
  • I was keeping/holding it for a friend.
  • A drink got spilled on me.
  • I just took a sip - I didn't know it had alcohol in it.
  • That smell is my new incense.
  • All my friends are doing it.
  • It's only alcohol - at least I don't smoke dope.
  • It's only marijuana - at least I don't do hard drugs.
  • I just tried it once and I'll never do it again.
  • It's normal to experiment when you're a teenager.
  • My eyes are bothering me - I probably have allergies.
  • I'm just tired.
  • It's cool to wear sunglasses, even inside.
  • At least I don't drink and drive.
  • If you think I am bad, you should see what John or Jane does.
  • It's not like when you were young - it's a different world.
  • They made me do it.
