What Triggers People to Drink?

What is an Alcoholic Beverage? It’s a drink containing ethanol; ethanol is a Central acting drug with a depressant effect. Although in chemistry the definition of alcohol is made of many other compounds? Alcohol is harmful to people because it can put an effect on children, cause a car accident, and can harm your body parts; it also can make you act irrationally. Most people become alcoholic’s because of things that may be going on in life.


One important thing that it can have a big effect on is a child. Drinking can affect kids in many ways especially when drinking you never knows what you may do after you drink. This could make you become abusive to your kids and also show a side of you that you wouldn’t want your kids to see. Not only can that be an effect but you don’t want your kids to see you drinking because most kids follow a roll in monkey see and monkey do and then sadly it will be a 50/50 chance your child or the youth that is around will become an alcoholic. Some research has shown that 80% of high school kids have tried alcohol. A way to prevent kids from using alcohol is to take more action in telling kids not to drink. You can also remind them that drinking doesn’t make you cool. Not drinking and not harming you and others is what makes you cool.

There are many other reasons why you should not drink, a good example drinking while driving. One of the most deadly weapons, while drinking and driving is putting innocent lives in danger. Many may think they can drink and drive but they can’t. While driving under the influence there are many consequences to come along with it. These consequences are getting your license took and possible doing some time depending on what happens in that particular situation. An example of a drunk driver is A.J. “Jake” Pennon his grandfather had reached the panhandle of Florida, when a drunk driver entered the interstate going the wrong way and had a bad car accident head on just one innocent life was token just that quick because one person thought they could drive under the influence.

Drinking can also do harm to your body in many ways. Heavy drinking can lead to bad body damages not only on the outside but also in the inside. Heavy drinking is most commonly associated with the liver damaging it can also effect the digestive cardiovascular, immune & endocrine system. Alcohol enters the blood stream & becomes disputed throughout the body. The liver is especially sensitive to the effects of alcohol because it receives blood directly from the intestines. Alcohol abuse is the leading cause of liver-related deaths in the U.S. Over2 million people suffer from some form of alcoholic liver disease. Sadly to say I should not wish such a sad thing like this to happen to any one but you have to stop drinking in order to prevent putting your life and body in danger. Out of experience in life I have a family member who died because of alcohol. One of my uncles on my dad side of the family had such a hard time drinking that it leads him to his death bed. When we first notice that alcohol was getting the best of him was when he came around you could smell alcohol on him even if he had not been drinking , my mom told me it was because the alcohol had token a toll of his body and now even when he doesn’t drink you still can smell it. No later than five months later he was put on dailies. Seven months after that he passed away.

You should also take in consideration that drinking can make you act out of character by this I mean, it could cause you to get behind the wheel of a car and cause a bad accident. You can also get hold of a weapon and possibly harm someone, fighting, are maybe constantly annoying someone. There are many other reasons on why alcohol can make you act irrationally. Which means lacking usual or normal mental clarity or coherence? The place where most people drink and act out of character is at a club when people drink and at times get into altercations at the club because of drinking and the effects that it has.

In all what I’m trying to say is please don’t drink its not as good as it may taste or even seem to be. As you may see drinking has many bad effects that come along with it. After reading this I hope to have changed some people’s minds about drinking. To any and every one who has read this essay I know you may not stop drinking or at lease consider stopping or slow down on drinking. Drinking is something that lots of people like to do but can led to many harmful things.
