Drink .. Drank .. Drunk

Young people are more likely to do the prohibited things. What about teenager? Teenager’s society has more dangers problem that damaging their life. Drinking alcohol is one of these things, which is allowed by the government by the age of 21. However, a lot of teenager asks to allow it before that age. They do not imagine what the disadvantages are for starting to drink alcohol earlier. Nevertheless, we as an older people knew what the disadvantages, and because of that we beg that drinking is harmful for youth people and low should not lower the allow drink age to 18 and keep it as it is. Being drunk from the age of teen is harmful because it influence social life, health, and it can cause death.

Teenager drinking alcohol makes them too dangerous for the society they are living. The first thing affected by alcohol is family society. For example, if a teen girl started to drink, her interaction with her parents will absolutely change to bad actions. Over time all the behaviors will turn to be worse and worse, which means losing the relationship. Furthermore, even the closest friendships will be spoiled if the youth been addicted to alcohol. For example, it is very hard for drunken teenager boy to still attention to what he is saying to his girlfriend, and he will hurt her by saying a bad thing spoiled their friendship. Therefore, drinking has a terrible effect for teenagers.

The second reason that makes drinking harmful for the teenagers is health. Being a drunk means being unpredictable, when a teenager gets drunk he or she will forget to protect himself or herself from disease while he or she having sex. For example, on the night parties, teenager boys get drunk and having a sex with another drunken teenager girl have HIV. However, because he is drunk he did not wear condom and he get effected with HIV. James claims “It tends to be something we all know – that [by mixing] sex, drugs and alcohol … young people are putting themselves at risk for pregnancy, disease and possibly HIV. Those are life-changing events" (as cited in “Study: Teenagers often” para. 5). So if a teenager get drunk he or she will harm their life. In addition, a teenager body is so weak and will not be in good shape with starting drinking before the adulthood. For example, when a teen girl start to drink at age of teen her liver will hurt or she may get a liver cancer on the long-term. Health is important thing that everyone should take care of, but if a person started to drink as the teenage he or she will not be able to be healthy along the life. In order of that, government should keep the allow age to drink 21 and do not lower it.

Thirdly, being under the influence of alcohol will let the teenagers lose their control of themselves and kill themselves or kill some body, which is all equal death. A lot of the dangerous car’s accident that drives to death on the teenagers’ cause of alcohol. For example, when a teenager drives his or her car under the influence of alcohol, he or she will not be able to concentrate on the road, which means, a possibility of a huge dangerous accident and death. Additionally, the bad behaviour will all show up when a teenager get drunk. For example, when a boy teenager gets drunk he may start to brawl with everybody and may kill someone and get in prison. According to the Columbia University Home Medical Guide, in the US, "Alcohol use is involved in one half of all murders, accidental deaths, and suicides, one third of all drowning and boating and aviation deaths, one half of all crimes, and almost half of all fatal automobile accidents." (as cited in Yamamoto, para. 1). This gives us an idea of how the drink is hurtful for the life. Finally, if teenager loses them control by drinking alcohol, they will kill or heart their lives and no one is responsible for their choices, but themselves.

Opponents say that the alcoholic teenagers will be less affected by alcohol when they grow. This argument is wrong because the teenager will get use to drink and they will keep drinking for a long time before they can stop drinking. In addition, if the teenagers get use to drink they will not be able to live there normal day with no drink. Human being keep doing what we get use to doing. For example, if a teenager use to drink alcohol while he or she is eating, he or she will never enjoy the meal with out drinking alcohol, so it will be a habit when he or she grows. Furthermore, some teenager started to drink alcohol to get a way from there weakness and they will keep doing it for all the life. For example, if a teenager parents drive him or she crazy and he drink alcohol to calm down, he or she will drink alcohol on the future to get a way from the his wife or her husband problems. Finally, start drinking alcohol will not matter which age it is started in, but to start it is the trouble thing.

In conclusion, teenagers should know their advantages to not drink alcohol or at lest don’t started earlier then the allow age. Furthermore, government have better not lower the age of drinking in order to protect the people. It is a nice thing to have a lovely family, healthy, and safely life, but everything will be mass with drinking. Finally, it is such a bad thing to start doing things that we know it is going to lead us to be alcoholic, so better not do bad behaviours to live a great life.
