Cause and effect

Alcoholism

Like smoking, alcoholism has become a major health concern in many societies. Because the percentage
of alcoholics has increased significantly also the alcoholism-related deaths have increased dramatically
most of the countries. Additionally, the consumption of stump-liquor, or the making and
drinking of illegal alcohol, continues to result in blindness and even death.

 Alcohol is one of the drugs that are deemed to cause serious problems among the younger
generation. The motivators for consuming alcoholism are hard to generalize since
different cultures have different beliefs concerning the consumption of alcohol. However,
it is agreed that like smoking, alcoholism is greatly influenced by peer pressure. First
reason is upon reaching a certain age, a person finds himself/herself in the company of
friends whose preferred mode of relaxing is consuming alcoholic drinks. Unless one has
strong principles, it is usually hard to resist the temptation and pressure to take that first
drink of alcohol. Gradually, the person gives in, and alcohol consumption becomes a
regular habit. Second reason of alcoholism is caused by the misperception that it is good
for temporal relief from the harsh realities of life. Every alcoholic will insist that life feels
good after one has had a drink. This misperception has spread even to an enlightened
individual. As a result, an elite group of alcoholics who relieve their stress by drinking
has emerged. Third reason is when there is someone who is broken hearted they tend to
drink alcohol because they think that by drinking they will forget about the pain and
problems they are experiencing.Last reason for alcoholism is some cultures openly
embrace drinking alcohol as a reward for a successful feat. Consequently, after being
alcoholic they can experience different effects. First effect is Sexual problems. Second
effect is Permanent damage to the brain. Last effect is Liver diseases.

Alcohol doesn’t solve anything in our problems in life. In fact it will


only give us a problem. So don’t drink alcohol if not necessary .
