...ng us no matter hat e do. This black hole in the society is its on product, and ith every day that goes by it becomes more and more incontrollable. Living has become a struggle and each one of us find different means to in the contest of life. Not all of us succeed in doing that. The first step is making the difference beteen the good and the bad choices e have to make in order to thrive. I presume that there are fe persons ho onder hy some people direct their attention to the bottle. There is more than one anser to this question. The response stands hidden deep ithin our minds, in the arts of psychology.e alk pass them each day and e feel either repulsion or pity, but e never think about hat exactly makes a drunkard of a sane person. It never occurs to us that one out of ten persons sitting next to us may die because of this very reason. hether it is an inherited bad habit or simply a means of sedation, drinking is the orst dependency there is. Beggars lying on the cold pavements of the street, asking for money just to get a little more alcohol revolt us, and make us angry, but e dont usually see this situation from the right point of vie. People selling everything they have, betraying every little crumb of the humanity theyre left ith are left lying in misery, having nothing else to face but the same filthy bottle of gin. Ho can they get out from this horrible situation if they get no help from us, the reasonable people But only leaves me to onder are e not the ones ho can distinguish hat is right and hat is rong Yes, e are That means e are the ones in poer to understand hat a drunkard has to go trough each day, having the bottle of vodka as his only friend, his only confident. e get scared that e ill catch some illness of some kind from them, but e should kno better. A little research in this domain ould automatically make us realize hat those poor people are going through. Since the beginning of all times, man used different substances ith the purpose of mutating his on of consciousness, of stimulating or relaxing himself, of inducing sleep or preventing it, of intensifying usual perceptions even of producing hallucinations. The taught of facing the drastic reality each day scares people, and thats hat they feel the urge to cut themselves off from all their every-day problems. Some substances have the property of tricking peoples minds, separating it from reality, taking it aay from the real time and space. The substances that affect the behavior and the psychical disposition are called psychoactive. These include not only drugs like crack, speed, marijuana or angel dust, but also alcohol. These sedatives, as they are called, sometimes produce a state of tranquility to the user, setting his mind aay from concern, making his body float into a dreaming state. It may be pretty hard for the noadays students to understand the major changes, concerning the behavior models involving the use of drugs, that intervened in the past 40 years. Although in 1950 fe people used any form of drugs, e changed into a relatively drug-free society. Many parts contributed to this metamorphose. Alcohol is some kind sedative, and the most frequently used of them. Sedatives reduce the activity of the central neuronal system. The consuming of alcohol is considered by most of the students to be a part of the social life. Thats here they go rong. Though they are convinced that alcohol does no harm, they are terribly ide of the mark. Sedatives favor sociability, calm tensions, free us from inhibitions, and in all, they generally add to hat e tend to call fun. Even so, the use of alcohol in the social life caused problems. A lot of time is being lost in the disfavor of learning, not to talk of the lo performances at exams. The orst of all is that accidents may occur hile being under the influence of alcohol, sometimes even fatal. A survey shos that most of the car accidents occurred because of alcohol, involving people beteen 15 and 24 years. Another survey shos that approximately 23 American adults consumed alcohol. At least 10 from them have social, psychological or medical problems as a result from using sedatives. Probably 10 from them are physically addicted to it. The use of alcohol is idely spread beteen the youths under 21. Starting at a party, just for fun, lasting until the victim realizes the strong implications of the use of sedatives, alcohol kills you sloly, but for sure. Drastic measures ere taken, concerning this problem. In Ne Jersey, The Rutgers University made up a rehabilitation program for the youths. The efforts of the universities and colleges ere intensified in 1989 beginning ith The Drug Free School and Campuses Act, a la that forbids the use of alcohol and obliges the institutions to have a reconciliation program for the addicted students. But students are not the only ones affected from this sickness of the society. The use of alcohol is forbidden to pregnant omen. The mothers ho drink much are vulnerable to the alcoholic syndrome of the fetus. The child could be born ith a mental retardation and multiple malformations of his face.The addiction to alcohol is called alcoholism. Alcoholism is ones incapacity of retaining himself from alcohol. Usually, alcoholics cry for help before reaching 40. If the problems caused by it persist, it is possible that the life of the person is shortened ith 15 years. They think that their last alternative is alcohol, and henever they are confronted ith some problems, they treat them in the most inefficient ay. In the attempt to elevate their self esteem they consume more and more alcohol. The intense use of alcohol on a long term leads to physical addiction ones tolerance of alcohol rises and the consumer has to use more alcohol to get the same pleasure and the individual suffers great pain hile trying to put a stop to the consuming of the substance. The restraining symptoms vary from irritability to intense anxiety and shaking. In some cases, these symptoms include hallucination, confusions and convulsions. This syndrome called delirium tremensDTs usually takes place in the case of chronic alcoholics ho stopped the use of alcohol after a long period of practiced this unusual sport. After all, hy do people start drinking There are many theories supporting the fact that alcoholism occurs in 70 of the cases in families ith a lo social support, in the loer classes of society. Probably one of the basic factors that influence alcoholism is the lo level of education that some of the children of our society get. Even though e are equal in rights and obligations, e do not have the same background and e are not alays able to distinguish the good from the bad. That is actually the reason hy most of the alcohol consumers are under the legal age of 18. Teenagers tend to be rebels. They dont alays listen to adults, trying too many times to go up against the adults. That may be one of the reasons. Another theory sustains that people fin...
