Heather drank a lot with her friends. One Friday after school she started reflecting on the amount of alcohol she ingested on a regular basis and the drinking of her buddies. As a consequence of this, she asked all of her friends the following question: "what do we honestly know about alcohol abuse, binge drinking, alcohol poisoning, and alcoholism? Stated more explicitly, how much alcohol dependency and alcohol abuse information do we honestly know? For our age, we clearly drink in an excessive and hazardous manner and I am starting to wonder if we are headed for a life filled with alcohol-related difficulties in the not so distant future.

I think that we should go on the Internet and find out all we can about binge drinking, alcohol abuse, alcohol poisoning, and alcoholism. And then if we have any relevant issues that we do not comprehend after we conclude our Internet research, we can schedule an appointment at the student health center at the college and ask Nurse Pine to help us understand what we cannot comprehend.

It should not come as a great surprise that what Heather mentioned would trigger a heated discussion. For instance, her long time friend, Maeve, said that they are too healthy and too young to be worried about irresponsible and abusive drinking. Another friend named Aaron claimed that since most high school students drink there is no reason why they should be any different. Another buddy named Lily stated that all she wants to do is to have fun drinking with her friends. And still another drinking friend named Nickolas actually agreed with Heather basically because both of his parents abused alcohol and both of his parents had a history of alcohol related difficulties.

Heather told her friends that she comprehended everything that they had articulated but that involving oneself in careless and irresponsible drinking at such a vulnerable age in all honesty cannot be very healthy or something that contributes toward establishing a worthwhile life. When a few of her drinking friends asked what kind of alcohol difficulties Heather was discussing, Heather mentioned the following: alcohol-related diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and cirrhosis of the liver and other alcohol-related problems like alcohol poisoning (which can be fatal in some instances), alcoholism, and alcohol-related traffic accidents and fatalities.

When Heather then stressed that abusive and excessive drinking regularly results in financial, legal, relationship, and school problems, some of her drinking pals finally started to comprehend how widespread and how unhealthy irresponsible drinking can be. Indeed, some of her drinking pals became more open and started to tell how these alcohol dependency and alcohol abuse effects had adversely affected their parents and some of their friends.

After emphasizing some of the alcoholism and alcohol abuse problems that are related to careless and excessive drinking, the vast majority of her friends liked the idea about getting information online. They were, conversely, cautious about discussing their drinking circumstances with the administrators at school. As Heather thought about this she told herself, "at least they are willing to find out more about their careless and excessive drinking. This is a very fine start."
