alcohols is marketed at young people like never before.
young people drink far to many spirits and not enough beer.
when i were a lad ...if you fell about being sick or got into brawling ...you were considered to not be able to hold your drink so people would shun drinking with you until you lkearnt how to do it.
l8iver disease through drinking excess amounts of spirits is going through the roof.
It is the same with any drug though, if it is to stimulate and relax and add to an evening or chill out there is no harm in it really. If it purely your desire to go and get "fucked up" then you might have some deep hidden problems to deal with.
Thats my take on Drinking problems. Though not like we havent had alcoholics before, William Pitt the Younger drank a bottle of Port a day before he became the PM, then when he got into office, he drank two bottles a day.
this particular drug is killing thousands a year ...and they are dying younger.
sounds like harm to me.
many world leaders have been drunks.
the latest figures are seriously grim news.
it does llook like our high tech materialistic society is killing us slowy though.
we can keep old people alive longer than is good for them or us.
whilst more and more youg people drink themselves to death.
of course it aint the alcohol thats the problem.
heroin isn't a problem ...it's a lifeless bit of dust in a plastic bag in a teenagers pocket.
people are always the problem.
Its not actually the people who get really really drunk which concern me, thats a habit virtually everyone grows out of reasonably quickly. Its the fact that reasonably heavy drinking 3 or more times a week is now the norm, we're storing up nasty problems for ourselves in a few years time, especially the ladies.
I'd put that down to atleast 1/3 of the rise... Younger girls going out and getting lashed most nights...(boys too, but mainly girls)
RTD (ready to drinks)
in short
Maturity is being imposed upon kids at a younger age.
Sex, drugs, alcohol, are all being exposed when kids are younger and less likely to be smart about them.
People don't think.
