Alcohol Informative Speech

Hello everybody i'm going to tell you a story. A couple days ago I was in my history class, and naturally we were watching an episode of The Simpsons. During the episode Homer one of his most famous lines “To alcohol! The cause of... and solution to... all of life's problems” and I thought to myself what is alcohol the solution to? For instance on September 25th 2015 a man named Marco Muzzo made a bad choice and decided to drive drunk. After speeding away from the airport he crashed into a car killing 3 children and their grandfather. Currently Marco is “tortured by the grief and pain” knowing 4 people are dead 3 of which are children have been killed because of his reckless actions. Now I ask you all what was solved because of alcohol?

Alcohol can be found everywhere and can be used for many
Now whether you are a underage partier or a “straight edge” kind of person doesn’t touch alcohol or drugs you have a duty. You have a duty to try and remove this mask that our society has that alcoholism is accepted amongst people but any kind of drug addiction is shunned away and treated as second class citizens. You have a duty to stand up to this view on society and how it's impacting people around you. You have a duty to not offer people help for their problems not just send them away so they are out of sight and mind. Now I am not expecting there to be a mass prohibition of alcohol and everyone parading with free marijuana, that was not the point of this speech. The point of this speech was to help show everyone that alcohol is addicting and that there are far more problems than what the general public is shown. If you were to take anything away from my speech let it be that you shouldn’t believe everything you are told and to do some research when things do not seem right. Thank
