The piece isn't exactly what I thought it would be. I found the title to be a little misleading, since the piece was not so much "why teens drink" as "what are the consiquences of teen drinking." The narrator seemed unwilling to choose a side, and offered a well researched argument for both sides of the issue, which I found informative but slightly monotone.
Overall, the piece was excellent for informational purposes, but didn't do wonders for me as far as entertainment, although that may not have been it's goal. Editing was excellent, maybe music, ambiance or a way of breaking up the piece a little more effectively would have added something else to it.
