Alcohol, the drug of choice for many people across the world after a hard day’s work, is the subject of many arguments pertaining to the restriction of alcohol use at a certain age. Many countries differ in this opinionated topic, but still agree that alcohol should only be consumed after pubescence. This is because alcohol can temporarily incapacitate a person’s central nervous system causing a delayed thought process and movement. Alcohol has been produced for many centuries for the entertainment of man or even to replace dirty water sources. Since almost the beginning of the human race, children have been drinking mead to supplement the fact that their water was contaminated.
Goodpaster 1 Instructor: WR 60 23 October 2013 Alcohol: Emotional Effects Caused From Under Aged Drinkers This day in age; more and more kids don’t think about the damaging effects alcohol can do to a young adult’s body and mind. I am not speaking of the physical damage that it may cause, but rather the emotional turmoil that may occur. Consequences are always inevitable and may change a person’s life forever. To drink under age because it is seen as “cool” is not a good enough reason to risk changing one’s life forever. Drinking alcohol before the age of Twenty-one is not healthy.
Underaged drinking is a social issue and causes many problems from learning problems to alcoholism. Alcohol is a depressant and people tend to fall back on it in times of trouble. I can’t figure out why person’s under the age of twenty-one want to drink alcohol. Is it to get acceptance from their peers? Or is it to relax and sit back after a bad day?
That means it is easy for me to hate what I cannot have. That was an experience in my life. The meaning to the fable “ Sour Grapes” is it is easy to hate what you cannot have. I want to challenge all of you by asking can you get rid of something that you really love to eat or drink for a week? Then answer this question, is it easy to hate what you cannot
This is one of the most important needs because without it a person can feel as if they don’t need any people in their life and they become disconnected from society. Power needs refer to a persons need to be accepted and respected. Addicts often use drugs and alcohol to overcompensate for this need. Freedom needs refer to independence but often drug addicts do not feel free because they need friends, family and acquaintances to help them get food, shelter, and drugs. Fun is an important need in making people happy; most addicts have fun while they are drinking or getting high and forget how real fun feels like.
It is because it is illegal. If we are lowering the drinking age, will we be worse off because kids are used to binge drinking? Another issue is stress. When parents were growing up, they didn’t have the kind of stress kids are dealing with today. So why are so many teenagers stressed to succeed academically?
I feel like that is so because they can handle it and they don’t abuse it. My biggest fear about not having adolescents being able to drink is the accident rates going up. I really believe that it is hard enough controlling all the accidents that occur by people of age never mind the younger ones. I feel like many people cannot control themselves therefore they would abuse their privilege to drink. I mean think about it years back when we did lower then age, madness occurred and then it had to be changed once again.
It’s expectable that most intelligent people would pass the exam without problems, but it’s a fact that precisely these people are the ones who have the less number of incidents related to alcohol consuming. Most people who do have problems with alcohol, are week to control themselves to avoid drinking when alcohol starts to cause them problems in their daily life, don’t like to think about their problems in order to find a proper solution for them. Most of them like easy ways
These in turn can lead to more stress within the relationship for both parties. Sometimes people turn to alcohol or other drugs to help them deal with stress. This can develop into a problem in itself, and increase the amount of stress for that person in the long run. Stress can affect our whole outlook on life and also affect
Her father had said, “None of the young men were quite good enough for Miss Emily and such.” (364) Her father never allowed her to make her own decisions even when she was almost 30 years old. Many people think that maybe the reason why he was so strict with Miss Emily and why he put so much pressure on her could have traced back to her family. Emily’s family was a very noble family and her father had thought that they were the most prominent in the entire town and that no one else was fit for Miss Emily. Any time a man would come close to being a part of Emily’s life, her father would not allow it and he would chase them all off. Her father had kept her away from any experience with love that she might ever have known.
