After one drink you will never want to stop.

Alcohol is addictive.

Alcohol causes crashes.

Alcohol causes violence.

Alcohol is the most commonly used drink in New Zealand. Not including water, more than half of all adults have a family history of alcoholism or problems  drinking. More than 7 million children live in a household where at least one parent has drinking problems . This is in the USA.  Alcohol abuse and alcoholism can affect all areas of  your life.  Long-term alcohol use can cause serious health complications, can damage your emotions, money, career, and impact your family, friends and community. If you start you could end

up like this when you're an adult or even a parent.

When young people drink they don't really know when to stop. When they are drinking they are not themselves and start to become stupid and get behind the wheel of a car and may crash. Here is showing how many crashes are caused by alcohol. In 2012,  331 serious injuries and 933 minor crashes, and 96 deaths.  31% of crashes are caused by alcohol. Alcohol is the 3rd biggest cause of death in new zealand.

Alcohol sometimes makes people violent, and people get hurt. Between July 2005 and March 2006, Police computers showed that 78,343 people drunk alcohol before to committing a crime.  In a survey, about one in five people who responded felt that alcohol had a bad effect on their home life.

So after all this why would you drink lots? I am not saying don't drink at all. Just ease up on the drink. And calm your farm. I hope you have learnt the effect of alcohol to your future life. Thank you for listening.
