Drinking

To young adults such as myself the only entertaining part of a wedding is the open bar. Never have I had so much free alcohol, and as it may be a temporary relief of happiness the outcome of tomorrows hangover would say otherwise. I have enjoyed the occasional drink or two and have always enjoyed the buzzed feeling, but never have I been fully hammered where my conscious self is unaware. I believe drinking is something you can do with friends and family, and I have no problems with it, but my only issue are those who choose to use alcohol as a temporary relief. There are those who seem to think that drowning in alcohol will make them feel better, and that may be so for the present but there are dire consequences in the future. I may have no right to lecture those who partake in this sort of action but think about it, does making yourself drunk and close to passing out really going to solve your problems? Everyone says confidence is key to success, have you ever considered taking the problems head on instead of destroying yourself slowly with a toxin. It's time to grow up and deal with the situations like an adult, this also applies to those who think smoking and drugs are a healthy alternative. I'm surprised by how many people think "Drinking is going to make all my problems go away, durrr" and then realize a couple years later they have alcohol poisoning or liver cancer. Then there are those who do it simply for attenion and sympathy, which is just pathetic. So please don't drown yourself in alcohol, there are much healthier alternatives that does not destroy your body slowly like talking to a friend about it, or counseling. Just learn to handle things like an adult, you have to remember you are not alone, you have friends who care and would probably be willing to carry your burden with you, afterall what are friends for?
