Why do people drink? Is it because they think it’s cool? Well, maybe. According to my research, kids who are 10-11 years old starts to drink alcohol. Maybe they are influenced by their parents or relatives. People drink because they think it’s cool. Drinking alcohol is bad for the health and may destroy your future. Drinking alcohol causes media influence, peer pressure and insecurities.

Alcohol is a drug that depresses or slows down your brain. People drink alcohol as early as 10-11 years old because of the advertisements of TV. Teenagers are influence because of the TV commercials, attracts them to buy 1 bottle and drink with friends. Teenagers who are ignorant of alcohol are forced to drink because they want to go with the flow with their friends and want to be cool. Teenagers are ignorant of the taste of an alcohol, thinking how it feels or what the taste of it is. Once you started drinking alcohol in an early age, you’ll be having hard time to stop. Why? Because one drink tempts you to drink more and more.

Drinking alcohol is now ordinary to teenagers. Mostly, teenagers drink at clubs, parties, or maybe in their home. Drinking alcohol is bad for the health as it damages your health, especially your future. You should stop drinking alcohol or better, don’t drink to have a good health. So, stop drinking alcohol and see for yourself the bad benefits of drinking alcohol.
