"Alcohol is everywhere in today's society. People stop by for a drink, drink to get drunk, college students binge drink, and for many people it is a disease and an addiction. But alcohol has lasting consequences on one's mind and the body, and these consequences are overwhelmingly bad. Alcohol damages the brain, the body, and one's mind to the point that someone can be addicted. The causes of alcohol damage are often medical certainties, and the extended abuse of alcohol can lead to further psychological problem."
