Cause and Effect College Drinking

A few months ago some of my friends were at a college party. In that party there were all kinds of alcohol beverages. Everybody was drinking since the begging of the party. My friends had been drinking for several hours until the party was over. When they decided it was time to go, nobody was physically able to drive; they were very drunk. Pedro, who thought he was sober, decided to drive everybody home. After a few blocks, struggling to take control of the car, Pedro lost control and they crashed. In that terrible accident one of the passengers died. Pedro was so depress that he did not go out of his house for several months. This is a sad story and a perfect example of what can happen when alcohol and imprudence are mixed. According to The Institute of Alcohol Studies, “in [the year] 2000”, “the number of casualties increased by 10 per cent”, “there were 18,000 drink-drive casualties”. Furthermore, according to the National Institute of Health, “Available research indicates that approximately 80 percent of college students drink and that half of college student drinkers engage in heavy episodic drinking”. Alcohol can cause several damages, which can lead to the death of the person drinking. Students should be m


Finally, I would like to talk about the last main reason why students drink. This reason has nothing to do with their problems and/or environment. It has to do with the fact that they like it. Some of the most common explanations are: They like the taste, they like the feeling they get from drinking. They get encouraged when they drink. The first reason is pretty obvious, they like the taste of alcohol. This is actually real. I have tasted different types of beverages and not all of them taste badly. In fact some of them taste really good an example is the champagne. The second reason is because they like the feeling they get from drinking. In contrast form the first reason; some people drink because they think that the feeling that alcohol produces is great. I remember that a friend told me “ I think the taste of alcohol is very badly, but I only drink to feel the effects of the alcohol”. From this we can see that for some the only important thing is the effect that they get from drinking. The last reason is to get encouraged. When students drink they become more outgoing and sociable. They start talking and socializing with people that they do not know. They make decisions that they would never make when sober. For example, a student will approach a girl that he likes with more confidence when he is under the influence of alcohol than when he is in his state of mind.
