A Youth Talks To Her Drinking Friends To Uncover More Information About Alcoholism And Alcohol Abuse

Heather drank quite heavily on a regular basis with her friends. One Monday after all her classes were completed, she started reflecting on her drinking behavior and the excessive and irresponsible drinking of her friends. As a result of this, she respectfully asked all of her friends the following question: "what do we really know about alcoholism, alcohol poisoning, binge drinking, and alcohol abuse? Stated more precisely, how much alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse information do we really know? For our young age, we certainly drink excessively and I am starting to wonder if all of us are headed for a life filled with alcohol-related issues in the not so distant future.

I think we need to go on the web and discover all that is possible about alcohol abuse, binge drinking, alcohol poisoning, and alcoholism. And then if we have any issues that we cannot comprehend after we do our online research, we can make an appointment at the student health center at the college and ask Nurse Woodard to explain things to us.

It should not come as a huge surprise that what Heather stated would result in a heated discussion. As an illustration, her long time friend, Alexis, stated that they are too healthy and too young to be worried about drinking to an excess. Another classmate named Sebastian thought that since most college students drink there is no reason why they should be any different. Another friend named Molly stated that all she wants to do is to have fun drinking with her friends. And still another buddy named Dallas in reality agreed with Heather basically because his parents were both alcohol abusers and both of his parents had a history of alcohol related problems.

Heather revealed to her friends that she understood everything that they had said but that engaging in irresponsible and hazardous drinking at such a risky age really cannot be very healthy or conducive toward establishing a meaningful life. When two or three of her pals asked what kind of alcohol problems Heather was referring to, Heather listed the following: alcohol-related diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and cirrhosis of the liver and other alcohol-related problems like alcohol poisoning (which can be fatal in some instances), alcoholism, and alcohol-related traffic accidents and fatalities.

When Heather then mentioned that abusive and unhealthy drinking typically results in legal, school, financial, and relationship problems, some of her friends finally began to comprehend how comprehensive and how debilitating abusive and unhealthy drinking can be. Indeed, some of her friends opened up and started to reveal how these alcohol dependency and alcohol abuse effects had adversely affected some of their friends and their parents.

After discussing some of the alcohol dependency and alcohol abuse problems that are related to abusive and excessive drinking, the majority of her buddies liked the idea about getting information online. They were, however, leery about discussing their drinking circumstances with staff at school. As Heather heard this she thought to herself, "at least they want to learn more about their excessive and abusive drinking. This is an excellent start."
