Big bottle or in Spanish 'Botellón' is a typically nighttime or often a daytime activity where people gather in public areas to drink alcohol. The activity is very popular among teenagers and young adults.
ResponderEliminarI reckon almost always of teenergers have ever drunk. Moreover, they start drinking with a very early age. According to the surveys that are done to the teenegers, the average age of start drinking is 13. Most of them says that they start with friends in big bottles or another parties and they just want to taste it.
In my opinion, young people drink as their friends also do it. This is a lot stupid!
In fact, the 62% of parents thinks that their children don't consume alcohol, that is to say, most parents don't know what their children really do.
In Spain in the holidays the young people usually go to a place and do a Big bottle in Spanish ''Botellon'' , the place where go the people usually be a square or a other public place , in the Botellon , teenagers and young adults drink alcohol , in Spain is very , very popular the Botellon
ResponderEliminarIn Spain is usually see teenagers drinking alcohol , because too many shops sell alcohol to underage .Young people drink as their friends also do it , in my opinion drink alcohol a very early age is unhealthy , with 17-18 years you can drink with control ,In fact, the 62% of parents believe that their children don't consume alcohol, but too many children with 13-14 drink alcohol.

ResponderEliminarThe Big Bottle in my opinion would define it as a large grouping of people in a place with a lot of alcoholic drink and this phenomenon happen very often on festive days.
ResponderEliminarTeenage drinking I think its happened because all people start for see the typical man or woman who is ''more mature'' of the same old, then your friends drink, and do you think if they drink I can also.
I reckon drinking alcohol is neither good neither bad, if consumption is not much alcohol. Parents shouldn't be worried so much if the child has self control and isn't someone whowants to get drunk
Today the bottle is something traditional in almost all the towns of Spain, and this means that more and more of us buy our bottles of alcohol and drink them in public spaces.
ResponderEliminarEvery time people start drinking alcohol sooner, that is, before it used to start at 17-18 years old and today most people start with 13 or 14 years old and this is a big problem since more than half of the parents do not know that their children do.
This nocturnal activity is supposed to be prohibited in Spain, but more and more of us do it and this is a big problem.
I think that they should be more attentive to the bottles and that the authorities put fines every time this activity is carried out, except when it is carried out at festivals, in this way we can end this.
