I must admit that I'm very disappointed to hear that he fell to alcohol. It's all over the internet at the moment and I have mixed feelings because he's going to be ripped apart for it even though it's considered "normal behavior" for kids our age and everyone is doing it. However, I'm glad to hear that he fell so low that he had to give it up. I try not to judge those who decide to drink, even socially, but personally, I don't believe in drinking at all. My college classmates think I'm lame, for lack of a better word, but the truth is, it's not necessary to make the most of your youth or your life.

I agree with you 100%. Even though I'm free to make that decision, I'd rather be cast out of a group than to join in drinking. Most of my friends drink. But I don't consider it cool in any way. I don't understand how one can find it appealing. I hate the smell of it. But that's a different issue altogether. The aftereffect of it drinking is the main issue. I've always wondered why people would actually choose to lose control and become less alert. When you are fully aware of the aftermath of drinking and the effect that it has on your brain, then why would you knowingly choose to drink it?

That's what got me worried about Dan. Many celebrities turn to drinking due to pressure and high expectations in order to forget about their worries and feel normal. I certainly hope that was not the case with Dan. It's just that the Harry Potter stars have always been so humble and their attitude has been exemplary for kids and teens contrary to many young Hollywood celebrities, that it's a pity to lose that positive image of the whole Harry Potter franchise so easily. It only takes one person in a group to spoil it for the rest. I'm so glad Dan kept a straight head and decided to put drinking aside. It's easy to get lost in fame and lose yourself with all the money you have in hand. His life is too valuable to waste it like that. He has the potential to be a much greater star than to fall down at this early stage in his life.
