I think teens shouldn’t drink energy drinks because of many reasons. First, from drinking the energy drinks teens have started to die. Moreover, energy drinks greatly increase a heart rate by 2 times than it was before drinking it. Also, if we don’t stop them then who knows what they will put next in their energy drinks? These three reasons can be greatly supported at the fact that energy drinks are not good for teens. First, we all started to see what energy drinks are really like when Anais…

In essence, extortionate consumption of alcohol poses considerable risks to the health and physical wellbeing of an individual. Drivers are customarily in jeopardy from the desideratum to drive conveyances while under the influence of alcohol. The driver lacks the ability to execute his or her driving skills as they are impaired by the alcohol in the body, which interferes with the rationality processes of the brain. Drunk driving might not seem akin to such a solemn quandary to some people but…

already using alcohol, banning it would increase the percentage of the population abusing it. Roughly a quarter of drinkers abuse alcohol today (Teague, Mackenzie and Rosenthal 184). A good indicator of this idea is the amount of binge drinking or pre-gaming drinking on college campuses.

In my opinion, this is due to the inability to legally purchase alcohol…

book, since there were many scenes throughout the book, where many characters had not only ruined their lives but also others due to consuming large amounts of alcohol. This is clearly evidenced on page 16 when Junior says, “His (Rowdy) father is drinking hard and throwing hard punches, so Rowdy and his mother are always walking around with bruised and bloody faces.” The fact that alcohol is mentioned throughout the whole book also proves that alcohol is one of the main themes of this book.

DSM IV Diagnosis Using the DSM IV diagnostic tool, Elizabeth’s substance use would be diagnosed as Alcohol dependence (AD).

behind the school. Molly was unaware that she was about to make the biggest decision of her life, but was quickly confronted with the choice of whether to drink or not when the group asked her to join them. Molly had many questions about underage drinking, but knew that it was bad for her body, illegal, and could result in a serious injury if she got in a car with this group.

passing on because of the asinine crowd that assumes drinking and driving is an acceptable thing to do. This horrendous and selfish act is not only endangering the lives of the other citizens on the road, but the innocent lives of those who choose to drive sober.
