Gabor states “No drugs, in itself, are addictive.” This means that it is not the drug that causes the addiction, it is why the people are doing the drugs in the first place, and the way it makes them feel. If people grow up in an abusive household and have never experienced a “warm, soft hug”(305), they turn to drugs because it will give them that feeling. Although some may agree with Mate’s argument, the ways in which he gives his evidence and examples lacks all the necessary information needed in order to make a decision on whether you agree or disagree with his argument. In paragraph four Mate uses a scientific example saying, “Only about 8 per cent to 15 per cent of people who try, say alcohol or marijuana, go on to addictive use.” (305) While this statistic may be true, it is difficult to report on how many of those people of that eight to fifteen per cent are using it because they simply have an addictive personality. For Mate to say that all addictive drug use is caused from neglect issues is not accurate because he does not account for the people who do drugs because they want to.

Since the 19th century, more critical attitudes towards drinking began to emerge and studies have continued to show the deterioration of the nation’s drinking habits. This essay will evaluate and discuss the UKs drinking habits, young people and alcohol and the consequences of drinking, how drinking will cause young people to offend, how the media portrays crime and alcohol and some policies and action plans that have been put in place to tackle crime caused by alcohol. Alcohol may not necessarily cause people to commit crimes, but it plays a big part in people’s attitudes towards alcohol and how it may affect an individual when out drinking with friends or at home and how it may cause violence in a household.
The Roaring 20s: USA, 1928-1929 07) Source E suggests that the popularity of Jazz music increased as time went on. It shows that it ‘appealed to young people’ because it was seen to be ‘daring and exciting’ due to it being ‘played in bars and clubs which sold illegal alcohol’. This shows that the youth obviously loved this music as they began to listen to it more and more. Also, alcoholics would listen to this music a lot because due to the Prohibition alcohol was illegal to acquires and as said in Source E, the music playing at the only places you can get the alcohol at would play this music and hence many people would enjoy the jazz tunes as it reminded them of a happy time with alcohol etc. The blacks also liked this kind of music as
This law, a government “experiment” with very little ways of enforcement, succeeded in cutting down the consumption of this very popular drug by one-third. It is not to say that Prohibition was the ultimate success, but it certainly is not the extreme failure that it is often made out to
Unlike soma, the drugs produce numerous negative aftereffects. Furthermore, the use of drugs is not regulated. As a result many accidental overdoses do occur.

As you can see people have some crazy arguments as to why we need gun control like gun control will lower crime rates, less people will die when involved in criminal attacks, and who needs a gun for protection when we have law enforcement for protection. But, these are all clearly pathetic arguments when it comes to swaying the majority. No matter what way they want to look at it, gun control will not work in any
Alcohol impairs judgment, and being under the influence of alcohol causes bad decision making. “The legal drinking age should be lifted to 25 to limit the violence associated with drunkenness, the head of the nation's peak medical organisation says”(Raise drinking age to 25, says top doc).Teenagers already make bad decisions as it is and we know that, so raising the drinking age will prevent this further. Not only that, but alcohol is a depressant. If teenagers get a hold of this depressant it could lead to bad decision making such as dropping out of school and even
