Diane drank on a usual basis with her friends. One Friday after all of her classes were finished, she began thinking about the amount of alcohol she drank and the hazardous and irresponsible drinking of her drinking friends. As a result of this, she respectfully asked all of her drinking buddies the following question: “what do we really know about alcohol poisoning, alcohol abuse, alcoholism, and binge drinking? Stated more precisely, how much alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse information do we really know? For our young age, we clearly drink in a hazardous and excessive manner and I am beginning to wonder if we are headed for a life filled with alcohol-related difficulties when we become adults.

I think we need to go on the web and discover all that we can about alcoholism, alcohol poisoning, binge drinking, and alcohol abuse. And then if we have any nagging issues that we can’t comprehend after we finish our web research, we can take a hike to the student health center at the college and ask Nurse Stanley to help us understand what we don’t know.”

It Shouldn’t Come as a Big Shock That What Diane Stated Would Set Off a Heated Discussion

It shouldn’t come as a complete surprise that what Diane articulated would set off a heated discussion. As a case in point, her closest friend since the sixth grade, Eliza, articulated that they are too healthy and too young to be worried about hazardous and irresponsible drinking. Another pal named Jackson believed that since most high school students drink there’s no commonsensical reason why they should be any different. Another classmate named Reese stated that all she wants to do is to have fun drinking with her buddies. And still another friend named Gary in truth agreed with Diane primarily because both of his parents abused alcohol and both of his parents had a history of alcohol related difficulties.

Diane explained to her classmates that she “got” everything that they had said but that involving oneself in unhealthy and abusive drinking at such an early age truly cannot be very healthy or conducive toward establishing a meaningful life. When two or three of her pals asked what kind of alcohol difficulties Diane was discussing, Diane articulated the following: alcohol-related diseases such as cirrhosis of the liver, heart disease, and cancer, and other alcohol-related problems like alcoholism, alcohol-related traffic accidents and fatalities, and alcohol poisoning (which can be fatal in some instances).

Irresponsible Drinking Regularly Results in Drinking Problems

When Diane then stated that irresponsible and abusive drinking frequently results in school, relationship, legal, and financial problems, some of her drinking pals finally started to understand how wide-ranging and how debilitating abusive and excessive drinking can be. To be sure some of her drinking buddies became more “open” and began divulging how these alcoholism and alcohol abuse effects had affected some of their friends and their parents.

After highlighting some of the alcoholism and alcohol abuse problems that are related to irresponsible and careless drinking, the majority of her buddies seemed to like the idea about getting information on the Internet. They were, however, apprehensive about discussing their drinking behavior with any of the teachers at school. As Diane reflected on this she whispered to herself, “at least they are somewhat excited about leaning more about their hazardous and abusive drinking. This is a very fine start.”
