Possible reasons why girls drink more than boys.
Girls usually hang out with older boys, who have more influence on them than friends on their own age. Since the use of alcohol is more common among the older boys, it might be easier to get carried away. It is also easier to convince a girl than a boy, and girls have a greater need to be accepted among friends.

Why opinions are more liberal among those who have been drinking alcohol?
The reason why is obvious. Those who have been drinking, do not feel they have done anything wrong. The young Christians have changed their view on the use of alcohol, because it is more common in the society today.

Possible reasons to different opinions to the use of alcohol.
Those who don’t get affected from friend who use alcohol, has still not changed their view. But those who have already been affected by friends, are more open minded and tolerant to the use of alcohol.
