Going to the mall DRUNK?!?!?

"Shopping for Pleasure: Malls, Power, and Resistance" By: John Fiske. Well.. When I started reading this piece I was so confused about comparing shopping malls to churches but I did understand more once I kept reading. Teens go to malls to hang out with friends, get away from their parents or even just for something to do. Fiske made it out to seem that teens go to the mall to start trouble. I know personally I have gone to the mall before to hang out with friends and just look around cause at that time I don't have any money to spend. I think all teens at some point just go to the mall to walk around or socialize but that doesn't mean that they are trying to fight the system. I thought it was very interesting when Fiske stated that teens go to the mall to get drunk. That teens bring there alcohol in water bottles/soda bottles. I have been to the mall many times and have never been drunk or seen any teens getting drunk while there. I think Fiske is taking that issue a little too far! Teens just want to walk around, have fun, maybe buy something, and most times cause no trouble at all.
