Doctor: What seems to be the problem today Jake. Jake: I’m not sure Doctor, I just feel lousy all over. I have a splitting headache, my stomach is upset, all I want to do is sleep, and my right elbow is hurting. Doctor: How long has this been going on? Jake: It just started today. Yesterday I felt great, but when I woke up this morning ...oh. Doctor: Well let’s take your temperature and blood pressure and see how they are.  Doctor: (Later). You don’t have a fever, and your blood pressure and pulse are normal. There is a flu going around, but that wouldn’t explain your elbow hurting. Tell me, have you done anything or eaten anything unusual in the last couple of days? Jake: Not really, I did go to a party last night and drank a little. Doctor: What did you drink and how much? Jake: Not much, 7 or 8 cans of beer and a bottle of tequila. Doctor: Do you usually drink that much? Jake: No, it was the first time drinking anything. I was celebrating my 21st birthday. Doctor: Well, no wonder you feel lousy, you have a major hangover. Do you happen to remember if you fell down or hit your elbow against something? Jake: Now that you mention it, I seem to recall I fell down when I was getting out of my car. Doctor: Well your elbow seems OK, just a bad bruise. It’ll be OK in a few days. Jake: What can I do to feel better? Doctor: For your elbow, you might want to put on a cold pack. For your hangover, I suggest taking some Aspirin, drinking lots of water, eating something light and going back to bed. You’ll feel good as new tomorrow. Jake: Thanks doctor. You’re a life saver.

Alcoholism is a problem not only of adult people but teenagers as well. Thus, in Britain alco-hol kills more than 1,000 young people a year. One thousand children under 15 are admitted to hospital each year with strong intoxication. All need emergency treatment.

Boys drink more than girls, but girls’ bodies are composed of more fat and less water, so the alcohol produces a stronger effect.

Drinking is a factor in nearly half of total road accidents which befall young people.

One common reason of starting drinking is that they want to be like adults. Alcohol becomes a forbidden fruit a rite of a passing into a grown – up world. The emotional turmoil can lead yo-ungsters to drink too. Alcohol is a depressant, so often people feel worse the next day. Parents should take steps to prevent their teenagers hitting the bottle. They should talk to their children about the dangers of drinking.
