Effects of alcohol:

• People tend to consume alcohol due to the pleasant feeling that is associated with it and they feel that a party has not fully started or is not fully enjoyable until it involves the presence of alcohol. Alcohol is seen to affect people in varies ways such as increase their confidence, allowing a person to let loose of all their stress , makes them forget and is seen as a source of escape and is overall there to ensure a “good time”. However, it does have unpleasant effects associated with it like, enhancing reckless behaviour, blackouts, not being in the right state of mind so perpetrators see it as a chance to take advantage of their victims, it can cause nausea and vomiting and alcohol can assumed to such an extent that it can become toxic to the body and can thus lead to death.  And not to talk about the aftermath after a good night of partying
• It is the safest option to not drink more than 1 drink a day and not consume two drinks after one another. And not to drink more than 3 times a week.
• To determine that you have developed a problem will be justified to how much alcohol you assume in a week, how much you feel like you need it and how it affects your overall performance, such as your concentration, your willingness to participate, memory etc. If you have come to the realisation that you have grown dependence (not being able to go without alcohol for a period of time) than it is most likely that you have developed a problem and it thus of utmost importance that you seek medical help of any person that you are entrusted to like a teacher, a parent, or any adult that may be able to assist you in this manner so they can help you to determine the way forward.
