Health Problems: Alcohol
Shin from Japan I went to a presentation on alcohol. Most people like alcohol all over the world. Drinking alcohol is a social activity for people. But alcohol can be dangerous if people drink too much. A little alcohol is good for health and mind, but too much alcohol can cause damage to our minds and bodies. I learned that people should drink a glass of water for every drink of alcohol they have. This will help prevent dehydration, and perhaps stop a hang over. I also learned that if someone's blood alcohol concentration goes over the 4.5 point, he or she might stop breathing and die. I think alcohol is a good drink because usually everyone feels good, and they can enjoy talking. However, people must take responsibility for their actions and drink responsibly.
Kosuke Ogata from Japan I think alcohol is not a big problem, but too much drinking is a different story. I learned that alcohol is not good for our heart, stomach or liver. Also, it’s not good for the brain. Alcohol makes our heart beat faster, and drinking too much alcohol upsets the stomach and can lead to ulcers, irritations of the stomach, and the liver may stop working and if people drink too much. Maybe they will loose consciousness, or have a hang over the next day. I think that a most students at my college are regular drinkers. They drink every weekend and on special days. I’m regular drinker, too. If somebody asked me why I like alcohol, I think I can’t explain why, but I think alcohol is not a big problem.
