Everyone must have heard about it, everyone must have known about it. It is dangerous and obvious, it is ALCOHOL. Alcohol is begun to be established long time ago, and the law only permit the adult people to consume it, they strictly prohibited the underage to consume it. But the fact is the underage drinking is not a big deal in society, the main problem is over-consumption which leads to unhealthy relationship.

The standard of consuming alcohol for some countries is 16 to 18; some countries may have lower standard age for it. But from my view, I am totally disagreeing of the alcohol usage. I infer that the troublesome countries that has alcoholic problem are mostly states that establish the law of drinking

The trend of the alcoholic usage is applied in the family and daily live, the sad things is, most of the parents in the alcohol-legal country give their child, a wine, moreover they gave their children wine, almost after every meals. I think this bad habit was the root of all alcoholic problems. The very young children are accustomed to consume it just like drinking soft drinks. As the result most of the children do not know, the fatal effect of the alcohol. They just accept alcohol as the part of their tradition.

It is unbelievable in Europe that most of the countries are allowing the people to drive while they have been consuming alcohol. Some of the people said that because of this, the European is more capable of motor skill. Do not misperception, alcohol, do not make the people to have better motor skill, in fact the alcohol should be blamed for so many fatal road accident.

Actually, the temptation of using alcohol were lies on the wrong way of education, the alcoholics were only painted as a bad person, Of course, there are some rebellious students, who have perception that drinking alcohol is cool or good. Why should we stay away from that pleasure?

They tend to see that to consume alcohol is great and it is a pride to do it. In order to stop the trends, basically we must teach our children the proper way of using alcohol. We need to reduce and to eradicate the alcohol consumption as evil. It is just like parents that teach the children about sex in very proper manner.

Lastly we need to re-evaluate ourselves to make wise decision about what is allowed and not allowed to be drunk as well as the other decision, not only about this alcoholic issue.

Wise and careful movement will lead to successful future.
