Alcohol abuse does more than just affect lives, but takes them as well. The consumption of alcohol is either viewed as fun or an escape of the stressful things in life. 75% of teens in high school either drink regularly or have tried alcohol. 26% of teens and young adults practice heavy drinking or drink more than 5 drinks within an hour. The abuse of alcohol can lead to driving under the influence, which is the leading cause of death in teens and young adults. The consumption of alcohol needs to be limited because of the growing effect on people’s lifestyles, the effects it can have on one’s health and family, and to prevent the even younger generations from making the same mistake.

Alcohol consumption should be limited and monitored because it has such an impact on people’s way of life. The managers of alcohol distribution stores need to put a limit on the amount of alcohol purchased per week. They should also put it in a record so that they cannot buy it from other stores that sell it. This leads to an increased amount of alcohol on a weekly or even a daily basis. If the amount of alcohol increases, then the amount of money spent increases, which in the end affects financial stability and increases family issues.

Increasing the amount of alcohol consumed can really take a toll on one’s health. The human body builds up a tolerance for substances that are taken in, which means that the amount needed for the desired effect steadily increases as the amount consumed is increased. It can have a very negative effect on the body because in order to get the effect, there is a certain amount needed, and even though it doesn’t seem like it has the same effects on the body. Alcohol also affects the family of the alcoholic. The alcohol abuser will eventually take out their suppressed emotions on the family. Taking out the suppressed feeling worsen as time goes on. It might start out as a little quarrel between two members but in the end with turn out to be actual abuse from the alcoholic.

If the alcohol abuser shows this behavior against the family, especially when there is a person of young age in the house, this might have a long-term effect on their mental health. If the child talks to his friends about his problems then it will give some of them a good impression of alcohol because of its effects. Also the child may in turn become an alcoholic later in life because of the posttraumatic stress that they have endured as a child. If the problem is not dealt with as soon as possible, then the issue of alcohol abuse will never change. The media and celebrities show alcohol off as a good thing. This gives adolescents the want to fit in or be in the now. They do whatever they can to be like their favorite music artist, athlete, or even actor.

Alcohol can be used when needed but not be abused. Limiting the amount of alcohol used or consumed by one person should be enforced strongly because of the growing issues that tag along with it. Drinking alcohol may make you look cool and get you where you want on the social scale. The long-term effects of its use aren’t as glamorous as they are portrayed to be. So do your part to lower those percentages and never let alcohol affect or take away your life or a loved one.
