ALCOHOL
Why is alcohol so attractive to teenagers? Alcohol is a magic drug. It takes away problems. Teenage drinkers are no longer worried about their pimples or sexuality. It seems almost normal for people to turn to the bottle in a stress situation: alcohol is available everywhere. The media make you believe that ours is a culture in which drinking is the grow-up thing to do. Westerns and other films so often show a hero with a drink that drinking becomes a sign of strength. If you can drink a lot of alcohol and no show its effects, you will be proved that you are “a man”. It’s all very confusing to the teenager. He knows if he drinks at 15, it’s illegal and he’s in trouble. But if he drinks at 18 or 21 (depending, in the USA or another state) it’s legal.
Dangers
Teenage drinking is very dangerous. What happens to the grown-up in ten years will happen to the teenager in two. Within a short time he will have become a hopeless alcoholic. It is known that an alcoholic’s life is shortened on the average by ten or twelve years. Alcohol causes heart disease and finally brain damage. When the effect of a drink is over an alcoholic gets nervous and aggressive until he drinks again. He often fails to recognize the problem: “I can stop any time I want to”, is the typical reaction. By the time he realizes he has got a drinking problem he has already reached the point of no return. He begins losing friends and is soon unable to carry on with school or work.
Help
In many schools in the USA, in Britain and in Germany programmers have been started to teach both pupils and teachers the facts about alcoholism. Many people are helped by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), an organization of former drinkers who now spend their time helping other alcoholics to control their drinking problem. The members of AA help each other. They admit to themselves and other that they are alcoholics and therefore need help. It is being in group that helps them to control their alcoholism. They would never manage it on their own.
