I think that alcohol has a major effect on accidents and deaths. High school students who use alcohol or other substances are 5 times more likely to drop out. Every year in the United States about 5000 people under the age of 21 die from an alcohol related incident including car crashes, homicides, suicides, alcohol poisoning, and other related injuries. Researching about alcohol related accidents I learned that most traffic accidents are caused by alcohol. I also learned that alcohol can also cause the spread of cancer. Alcohol abuse can cause many problems not just within in the body but also have dangerous effects on the mind as well. Alcohol is a substance that impairs judgment when, consumed and can lead to drinking and driving, unintended sexual activity, violence, or other dangerous activity. Citizens concerned over alcohol abuse want law makers to reevaluate laws to lower alcohol related deaths by changing laws and making aware of the dangerous situations because of the loss of life. First alcohol can cause you to become violent because when you’re drunk you have less control. Alcohol weakens brain mechanisms that normally restrain impulsive behaviors, including inappropriate aggression on others. Violence may contribute to alcohol consumption, which in turn may perpetuate violence. Alcohol related accidents are also a huge waste of money. Rising incomes have triggered more drinking in heavily populated countries like Asia, and Africa (Huffington Post). Alcohol related accidents can also have a huge effect on government spending. The annual cost of alcohol related crashes totals more than 51 billion (Injury Prevention). This kind of huge spending also affects the American tax payers because of the increase in taxes. Drunken driving costs the United States 132 billion dollars a year (Huffington post). Alcohol abuse is a serious problem more than half of all
