Drinking
I’m in my early 20’s and at this time and age alcohol plays a role in my life. I notice that at many functions or gatherings among family and friend’s alcohol is always present. I remember in my health class my teacher saying two drinks for men and one drink for women each day is healthy. Well I am not at a point in my life where I believe I need to drink everyday but I do drink once in a while. Weekends are times when most friends and family get together and of course alcohol is present. It’s not that we require the alcohol to have a good time but it helps. But I do know the affects alcohol can have on an individual. Often when we go to the club we see males more than females who can’t handle their liquor and get out of hand. Many times fight breaks out or people begin to act out of their usual characteristics. At one point of my life I was in that same place. It’s kind of funny because I turned 21 I was always drinking at the club or bar, of course illegally. Then after I turned 21 the feeling for drinking vastly declined. I believe I drink less now than I do years ago. I guess the taboo of being told what to do always influence youths to do the opposite. But I think our civilization has a long way to go before we can eliminate alcohol altogether.
