Alcohol is a drink that is commonly abused by teenager below the legal age limit to consume it. The reason they took up drinking is due to out of curiosity,to feel good, reduce stress, and relax. In other cases,they don't want to feel left out wif their peers who have taken up drinking and also they feel that they are much more matured when they drink it.
Alcohol abuse pose many risk. For example, if a person has just been dealt a heavy blow and he took up alcohol to drown his sorrow into, he might just attempt suicide in his binge/unaware state. This is dangerous especially for teenagers as they are the common age group who would abuse alcohol drinking.
Another problem that the community is facing is drink driving. Teenagers tend to take this matter lightly without thinking of the consequences. As a result, there are many reports of drink driving among teenagers involving accidents in many cases.
Thus we should always remind our youth to stay away from alcohol and not to abuse it. Everyone play a part in this actions and we should take this matter seriously
