ALCOHOL
Today young people get addicted to alcohol but it's unfortunate that they do it for fun and for socializing, but they do not really know that what you are doing to their bodies.
Alcohol today it is considered a drug and its consumption tender is accepted among society and this situation is very alarming as more and at an earlier age is consumption. The fact that alcohol is a drug is something really serious, so we must really be aware of that fact.
About the reasons why people drink, some of them are: * The major problem is that people use that drug just to be “happy”. So they just use alcohol to have fun * Young people use that drug to make friends, to go parting, to feel more relaxed and cheerful. * To be accepted as part of a group of friends or acquaintances to socialize. * Social pressure, because if everyone drinks they think that they must do the same. * Sometimes produced from advertising, because they show alcohol like something cool to do
So we could be said that most of the people just drink because of the social pressure, because drinking is cool.

Social media has a huge impact also on that fact, because they make population to be closer to all those facts and young people see alcohol as something so common.
Most of young people take alcohol because it helps to speak confidently in stressful situations. Again, people use alcohol because they don’t want to be shy and they want to make new friends, to be more confident, flirting…

For these various factors alcoholism has been growing at an alarming rate:
So the problem right now is that people start younger to drink. Even I have found some shocking data like people start to drink at 13 years old.
The impacts of alcohol are something really serious about what we should take care also: * Alcohol is a drug, for that reason is addictive for everyone * Teenagers are at higher risk than adults to develop diseases such as cirrhosis of the liver, pancreatitis, hemorrhagic stroke and some forms of cancer * Teenagers who drink are more likely to initiate sexual activity early, a situation that puts them at higher risk of infection with the AIDS virus, sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies. Similarly, increase the likelihood of being affected by impotence and erectile dysfunction. * Teenagers who abuse alcohol are 4 times more vulnerable to severe depression than those who do not have an alcohol problem, because we don’t have to forget that alcohol is a depressive drug.

FISICAL CONSEQUENCES: * Liver damage: is the organ most damage because of the alcohol, because is the one in charge of cleaning the blood. It could be affected lot of years after being drinking, and could end with a cirrhosis. * Pancreas damage: it could be inflated. * Hypertension * Depression * Digestive problems * Sexual problems * Fetus problems * Nervous system problems

SOCIAL AND PHYISICAL PROBLEMS
Alcoholic persons tend to be lonely persons, who don’t want anyone controlling his actions. They just become lonely and lonely and finally they are completely alone and depressed. Some of them end their alcohol problem with the suicide.
They are shy and don’t trust anyone.
Also alcoholism is a social problem.
An alcoholic person is the one that doesn’t do their best on their jobs, and usually they finish losing it.
At the end no one want to stay with that person.
A huge problem is also driving drunk, that nowadays has become a huge problem and is one of the most dangerous activities that could be done.

The thing is that drinking alcohol is not a bad thing, the bad things appears when people don’t know how to drink or they just drink because they want to be drunk, nothing else.
So because of that the real problem is that young people don’t know how to drink. They know a lot about alcohol and they know how to handle with normal and easy situation, but sometimes situations become harder or more complicated and they just get stress and do nothing.
To conclude this project I will say that alcohol is more serious than people think. We need to be so conscious about alcohol and know what are we doing.
So when we really realize about what are we talking about we will be able to drink consciously and we will be able to enjoy and handle alcohol.
