Presentation on Drinking

Today’s presentations was very good. The group talked about a topic that is very serious and something that is plaguing many teens in colleges all over the country. Underage drinking and binge drinking. The cover many of the bad side effects that come with drinking. Many of the numbers shown in the presentations were very shocking. The numbers showed a trend that is not looking good and is something that needs to get better to save more lives. Throughout the presentation they also explained why it is better to just wait until you turn 21 to drink alcohol. 21 years of age is the minimum drinking age in all states I across the country I believe. The age limit does not stop many teens from drinking and it is something that is causing problems for many teens too. The drinking is leading to many negative outcomes like poor behavior in school. Many teens that start drinking early become alcoholics and learned to depend on alcohol. Depending on alcohol is not good and is something that lands people in rehab over and over again. Throughout the presentation the group really focused on drinking on college campuses and why we shouldn’t do it. People that drink are the ones that are failing there classes and not able to function right during the week while in school. These people of the ones who subsequently end up dropping out of college and becoming dependent upon alcohol and may venture on to other type of controlled substances.
