Main Article---ALCOHOL ABUSE

           

            Many people think that drinking alcohol is fine and nothing will happen but I disagree. Drinking can cause many problems. 

            Alcohol Abuse is when people drink to forget pain, another reason why people may drink is to party, others may drink just to relax, and there are people who just drink for any reason and take anything as an excuse to drink those people are called alcoholics. Many people think that alcohol is just a friendly drink and if you drink it you will look cool in front of other people.

             An article that has the same claim as me is ALCOHOL ABUSE AND ALCOHOLICS. The website name is www.helpguide.org. I choose this article because it says “It’s not always easy to see when your drinking has crossed the line from moderate or social use to problem drinking. But if you consume alcohol to cope with difficulties or to avoid feeling bad, you’re in potentially dangerous territory. Alcoholism and alcohol abuse can sneak up on you, so it’s important to be aware of the warning signs and take steps to cut back if you recognize them. Understanding the problem is the first step to overcoming it.” What the article is saying is that getting attached to alcohol easy to do and can easily become your worst nightmare.

The truth is you might look cool drinking, but there are many repercussions like, you could get alcohol poisoning off your first drink and die. Another thing that could happen is you get drunk and pass out, you may think passing out is no big deal but it is because while you are intoxicated and passed out you could get raped or

Kidnaped.  

            Adults are not the only people that get hooked and alcohol easily but many under aged teens also becomes alcoholics at a very young age. In the article teenage drinking by www.help guide.org, it says. “More than half of American youth ages twelve to twenty have tried alcohol. Girls are nearly as likely as boys to experiment with drinking. Underage and binge drinking is risky and can lead to car accidents, violent behavior, alcohol poisoning and other health problems. Drinking at a young age greatly increase the risk of developing alcohol poisoning, And other health problems later in life. Talking to kids early and openly about the risks of drinking can help reduce their chances of becoming problem drinkers”.

            Binge drinking is often popular with teenagers.  This happens when teenagers just drink non-stop and forget about the consequences. Binge drinking is a mental disorder because since your body is so used to drinking if you try to stop it will be the same as trying to stop eating because if you don’t eat you start to go crazy because your body is begging for food because it is used to eating. It is imperative that people don’t drink because if you don’t drink you don’t have to worry about having hangovers, being drunk, passing out, etc.

            If you do decide to drink here are some of the symptoms that you might go through if you binge drink or abuse of alcohol. One of the symptoms is if you constantly drink is getting drunk. Getting drunk is basically not knowing what you are doing and not being conscious of your surrounding basically all your guards go down and you cant control yourself or what you are doing.  Another symptoms is having a hang over, A hang over is when all the alcohol is leaving your body, A fun fact is that it takes one hour for one drink to get out of your body. Therefore it is not a good idea to  drink and the best advise I can possibly give is don’t drink.

This is an issue in the community of Huntington Park because it affects a lot of teenagers and they get addicted to alcohol. Many people fail to realize that alcohol abuse is a real problem and can only change attitude  , but could also lead to death.

For Instance, teens should not drink alcohol because they could possibly become addicted to alcohol. This is important because teens will have difficulties in life and drinking alcohol as a teen is dangerous. This matters because alcohol could disrupt them at a time when they’re making an important decision  , it could affect your ability to retain verbal information. Therefore, teens should not be allowed to drink because it makes a big factor to them that you never know what to expect. While others  believe that teens should drink alcohol ? , this continues to be an issue because they’re underage and it’s illegal for teens to be drinking at such a young age. For Instance , alcohol should not be given to teens because it will damage their health and it can cause death. This means that alcohol is a big problem in the community and teens will be affected by physical and mental health problems. This matters because parents wouldn’t like to see their child by alcohol. Ultimately, alcohol should not be given to underage teens because it damages their health and causes risk in their life.

Lastly, this issue has became a problem because alcohol causes brain damage, memory loss, serious mental health problems, and alcohol dependence or alcoholism. For instance alcohol is one reason why that teens die but it doesn’t only affect them it affects their family. This means that teens should stop drinking alcohol because it changes them and their attitude. Therefore, alcohol should not be given to teens. This matters because, underage drinking is leading public health problem , alcohol is very powerful , and it’s addictive drug that is damaging or even lethal in high doses. Ultimately, teens should be banned from drinking alcohol because it’s not right for teens to be drinking.

It is time that teens should stop drinking because they don’t know what they put inside alcohol and anything could happen if you’re a teen that drinks. Even though others may argue that alcohol should be allowed for teens I believe that underage should not be allowed anywhere because it’s illegal and dangerous for young teens to be drinking.

Do you want a world where teenagers die of Alcohol abuse? For years, teen  Alcohol abuse  has been an issue in this world. Unfortunately, we have failed to realize that we can do something about alcohol abuse. Therefore, I propose that we do after school clubs to prevent  teen alcohol abuse. This is necessary because this can be a  solution to help teenagers with alcohol abuse. 

          A reason why we should do after school clubs for teen alcohol abuse is because, I think this could really help them with their alcohol abuse problems. It would open their eyes to see what is wrong and what is right. For instance, this could help them with their health. If they stop drinking this will make them healthier. This proves that there liver won’t be getting damaged. This matters because their health matters. Therefore, they could choose to go and get help. And they would be healthy if they choose to get the help.  

            Furthermore, the implementation of clubs for Alcohol abuse is necessary because some teenagers would like to get help to stop drinking. For instance, there many teens that need help but they don’t want to talk to their parents. This proves that maybe these clubs could help them open their mind and could talk to someone. This matters because by talking to someone it could help them get a solution to stop drinking.  Therefore if they talk to someone they could see why their drinking and get  a solution to help them stop. 

              Opponent, so many  argue that even if they go to clubs to stop drinking they could just lie and say that  they have stop drinking but still be drinking. This argument is invalid because, why would they go get help if their still going to be drinking? In the long run, this solution would be the best option.  Given these points I think this could really help people.
