Alcohol's immediate effect is to alter mood but it also affects physical co-ordination. The more drinks you have the greater the effect - speech becomes slurred, vision blurred, balance is lost and movements are clumsy. Heavy drinking will depress all bodily functions, so drinking very large quantities can result in unconsciousness, coma, or even death.
Long term effects include weight problems, upset stomach, headaches, anxiety, stress, depression, poor concentration, difficulty in sleeping and raised blood pressure. Some more serious problems are liver disease, cancers, strokes, memory loss, sexual difficulties.
I suggest you stop now... how old are you by the wY?

I think you should stop before you get any side effects

The effects take awhile for you too notice. Right now you can't see the problem its causing to your liver and other organs but with prolonged drinking and as it gets worse you will deffinatly see it.

The younger you start the more damage it does generally. What if you're dead by the time your 20? Or what if you develop an alcohol addiction?

And what about when you drive a car? To be drinking and driving is both dangerous and illegal. Also, drinking will totally mess up your brain and your liver- When you drink, you like the 'get high' effect, but often drinking masks another problem. Like how a family member of mine drank to avoid her problems in life.

Do you play sports or anything? Sports and related activites are kind of like a natural source for "getting high". I think when you get high, you don't consiously remember the side affects of your drinking so those side effects are already taking place- though it also depends on how much do you drink.

Well, finding some physical/mental activity that you like might help, though everyone is different.

doesnt sound like your foster sister is a good influence on you do ur foster parents kno about this I dont think they would approve of it. you shouldnt hang out with her as much or go to parties and that stuff theres other ways to have fun. go to the movies, bumper cars, lazer tag etc
