I come from country, that is number one in beer consumption.

My father has been alcoholic since his teens, looks like homelless and is unable to live normal live. It´s surprise, that he is still alive.
My mother has also problem with alcohol, she goes for beer almost everyday, especially now, when there´s nice weather. She is very upset, when she can´t. It´s her only hobby.
My friends I grew up with do have big problems with alcohol. I am speaking about guys in age range 25-30. It´s mostly weekend fun and they are living normal lives, but the only thing they actually do care is having litres of beer on weekend. It´s normal to live like this at this age, but what´s going to happen to them in future, I don´t know. I even know guys, who are in extreme phase of alcohol problem by their 30.
The same sticks to 80% people around.

I am currently working in job, where you come to contact with hundreds of people per day. You can recognize which of them drink or smoke. It does change your body radically. It´s not so obvious, when they are young, but the older you are, the more it´s visible.

I am not saint in this. I am sometimes drinking and get drunk and I was quite heavy drinking between 18-20. But I grew older and I know, that this fun can´t last forever. I understand, that alhocol is a poison, if not moderated. And I understand, that you must be very strong to control it. Once you have doubts or alcohol parties become your standard for each weekend, run away. Alcohol can make you waste your life away.
