I'd argue that as it is not nearly as readly availiable to you, it is easy for you to make such an argument.
Sorry? I'm 18.

Except all the points you made are only valid when you're drinking to get drunk.
1. Beer has a lot of calories, not interested in changing a diet plan to include something that serves no purpose.
2. Beer is expensive in any quantity, upwards of $5 every drink - waste of money compared to water.
3. Beer does not taste good in small amounts, contrary to the popular belief.
4. Beer leaves a horrible taste in your mouth regardless of having one beer or ten, either way it's not attractive to kiss.
5. The only one you could contend against with small use of alcohol, props for hitting one out of six.
6. Not related to amount of alcohol consumed, so I can't argue for it.

Bad for your health. - not in small amounts, can be benificial
Expensive. - depends on income
Bad Taste. - depends on taste
Bad Breath. - brush your teeth
Slower reaction time. - didnt know you needed razor sharp reflexes all the time, maybe you should have a drink and relax, your tense.
I'm confident enough with my self in social situations to not need alcohol. - and those who drink aren't? admittedly some use it as a crutch, but you can go to a social event where you drink without it being drinking to go to a social event.
1. Beneficial in the same way that everything associated with poor health has some sort of study that proves the latter in very extreme cases? Link me to the classic case of a glass of red wine and heart problems being reduced, zZz.
2. WELL YOU CRUSHED MY ARGUMENT WITH THAT LITTLE GEM.
3. See above.
4. I tend to not carry a toothbrush with me when I'm out on the pull, don't know about the rest of you guys.
4. Yeah, let's make uneducated guesses as to the state of my mental well-being, good call there.
5. Lots of people depend on alcohol because they can't release and be free in social situations - I do not need alcohol for this in the same way I do not need alcohol to reduce my risk of heart diseases, I'm perfectly fine without the 'tweaks' drink gives.
