The Consequences Of Binge Drinking

Underage drinking is a serious widespread health problem in the United States and is a widely used substance of abuse. Underage drinking is also associated with binge drinking. This poses enormous health and safety risks and the consequences can affect everyone and this mostly affects people from 12-20. Binge drinking is very risky and can lead to further drug abuses and addiction, brain damage, irrational and ignorant, and more importantly, your health. This is why young teens should not drink alcohol excessively because these consequences can affect them in their later life, and can lead to killing someone or oneself.
Binge drinking releases dopamine and endorphins make you happy, relaxed and has been linked to being responsible for addictive
behaviour. This happens because your brain wants more and when physical dependency and cravings meet, binge drinking turns into alcohol addiction. This can also happen when you take other drugs such as tobacco and cocaine. The same effect happens and alcohol just helps you overcome the difference in cocaine. This is why drinking alcohol can lead you to be addictive to more and more drugs, which can later be abused.
Furthermore, excessive drinking will make you have ignorant and irrational decisions, without this, you cannot control your intake. The same process will happen, you will crave more, and drink more, and overdrink. This is why as teenagers, you should not, seriously, drink alcohol because if it gets too serious, your behaviour, mood, and desire will change. If nothing works your way, negativity and bad thoughts will reign over your mind, and you will attempt criminal acts such as stealing, raping, or attempting suicide.
In addition, over drinking can affect your health, damaging your liver, destroying your metabolism, giving you brain/heart problems. Overdrinking will damage your liver exposing you to all the toxins in your body and in the alcohol. Moreover, as a teenager, your metabolism isn’t as strong as an adult’s which can spoil your appetite, taste buds and your digestive tract. Finally, this will give you problems with your heart and your brain which will result in your productivity, creativity, and your concentration will gradually decrease as you take more. Even worse, your body can suffer intense noxious overdose, resulting in a coma or even death.
In contrast, alcohol is classified as a depressant but can also be used as a stimulant. If taken in a certain amount, your body can either loosen up and slow down processes in your body or as a stimulant to do more work. Moderate drinking is actually beneficial. It reduces the risk the chance of heart disease, the development of ischemic stroke, diabetes, and chances of getting cancer. Moderate drinking factors can be your physical condition, gender, age, race/ethnicity, how quickly the alcohol is consumed/metabolism, or the food consumed before taking alcohol. These factors can affect your moderation towards alcohol.
In conclusion, binge drink and underage drinking advances because of peer pressure, stress, and expectations. This can lead to social drinking, addiction, and use of other drugs. Young teens feel like drinking is the only way to enjoy their lives and if someone is involved in a crowd that drinks, he would not mind engaging with alcohol. If you make the wrong decisions, alcohol can have long-term effects on you, such as loss of muscle, higher risk of STD and HIV/AIDS, impotence in men and infertility in women, and even death and coma.
