For instance, alcohol has become so widely accepted that it is now a part of many things such as recreational activities, dinner, lunch, church services, and a means of relaxation for some. The usage of alcohol can be a fun thing but can also lead to very serious problems, such as violence, automotive accidents, and even death at times. Although not all individuals who partake in drinking undergo these types of things it is important to be well aware of the possibilities. Other effects that drinking alcohol tends to have on individuals are psychological effects. For instance, according to our text book, Drug Use and Abuse, alcohol is a psychoactive (mind-altering) chemical that, like heroin, depresses the CNS (Abadinsky, 2013). The overconsumption of alcohol can leave the individual slurring and stumbling thus leading to physical harm to the consumer. Although Alcohol is in fact one of the most used substance in our society it is not the only drug worth taking a look
