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.
