The Negative Effects Of Drinking Too Much Alcohol

Author: Gabriel Adams

Many people drink alcoholic beverages at parties, bars, and sometimes at home to wind down after a long day of work. Alcohol in moderation can be fun and allow you to relax after a long day or week of work. However alcohol is also considered to be a "downer" type of drug, so you should not drink it if you are depressed. Drinking while you are depressed will usually just make you feel more depressed. You should only drink alcohol to have a good time or relax, but you should be careful and not drink too much, because it can cause many different problems in your life. The negative effects of drinking too much alcohol can be divided into short term effects and long term effects.

The negative short term effects of drinking too much alcohol are loss of judgment, loss of coordination, blurred vision, slurring of speech, and loss of balance. These negative effects can cause you to make bad decisions while you are drunk, and these effects are also the reason that you never want to drive when you have been drinking. If you drink too much alcohol you can experience some extreme negative effects. These include unconsciousness, coma, and even death.

Not only can drinking too much alcohol cause negative short term effects, but it can also cause negative long term effects. These long term effects include loss of brain cells, liver failure, stomach ulcers, high blood pressure, and certain types of cancer, epilepsy, nerve damage, and heart failure. Drinking too much alcohol is not a good idea, because as you can see it can cause serious problems in your life. If the abuse of alcohol does not cause immediate problems, then excessive use over a period of time can cause major problems down the line. Everyone deserves to have a drink now and then to relax if they want to, but alcoholism is a very serious problem that should not be taken lightly.

    They should not be allowed to drive when they had too much to drink in the first place. If they go to a bar where they are known, hopefully they have some friends there.. and one of them will grab the key from them and either drive them home or call them a cab..and not let them drive or if they come as a group, they should be mature enough to have one designated driver who won’t drink.. who will drive the others back home that way a lot of senseless deaths could be prevented. Once a person is drunk, they can’t make rational decisions, if they go out and drive under the influence and someone gets killed then it’s manslaughter but it’s not cold blooded murder as this was not planned. A drunk driver is like an explosive device that is ticking.. it could go off any time. If it doesn’t it’s more luck than anything else.. plus the drunk driver also risks getting killed himself or herself or if he or she has passengers in the car who can’t drive, and all get killed, he has them on his or her concience also. If someone is found driving under the influence.. their driving license should be taken from them for a year. Maybe that will make them stop and think the next time. It can’t be seen as murder, it has to be treated as manslaugher considering the fact that some people get away with killing a person on purpose.. and only get 6 years imprisonment for willful murder, so killing whilst under the influence I hope if they survive and kill someone else whilst drunk, that this will trouble their sleep for many years and they will have nightmares and feelings of guilt.. rather than the punishment they receive from the law.. apart from losing their driving license..

    How do you think drunk driving effects people?
    I’m doing a research paper on this topic and I need a few opinions on drunk driving and how people should be charged with killing someone while drunk just those kinds of things. I personally do not believe in accidents.
