Why You Should Not Drink Alcohol

For example, drinking can give you neck cancer, and I know this because according to this website https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/alcohols-effects-health/alcohols-effects-body, it says, “Clear patterns have emerged between alcohol consumption and the increased risks of certain types of cancer, including neck cancer.” There have also been many situations where people have died because they were drunk. One piece of evidence is when the famous rockstar guitarist, Jimi Hendrix, died of an alcohol overdose. He died on September 18, 1970. His wild death was so depressing, and he died while he was vomiting and was intoxicated with barbiturates. Being drunk also puts your mind in a false mindset and makes you do things that you don't even want to do. Drinking alcohol can also give you liver cancer, and this does that because each time your liver filters the alcohol in your system, making it so that you have liver cancer. 

Did I also mention that alcohol can also damage your brain? Absolutely, drinking alcohol can really mess up your brain. When people drink too much, their brains can’t think clearly or remember things well. This is because alcohol changes the way your brain works, and if someone drinks a lot for a long time, their brain can get seriously damaged. This damage can make them act weirdly, make bad choices, or even have trouble with their feelings.

Drinking isn’t just bad for your body like causing liver or neck cancer; it can mess up other parts of your life too. For example, people who drink a lot might lose their jobs, have problems with their friends and family, or get into trouble. Alcohol can also make it really easy to get hurt in accidents, like when driving or even just walking, because it makes you clumsy and not good at making decisions.

If you’re worried about someone you care about who drinks too much, it’s important to talk to them when they're sober, meaning not drunk. You should tell them you’re worried in a nice way and let them know you care. Sometimes, people don’t see how bad their drinking is until someone they trust tells them. Also, there are lots of places and people who can help someone stop drinking. Things like counseling and groups like Alcoholics Anonymous can make a big difference. It’s hard to stop drinking, but with the right help, people can get better and have happier lives.
