Drinking alcohol is a grave problem in society. Even more is when the teens start drinking alcohol as fun, in parties, gatherings, etc. and soon it becomes a habit. The worst thing about teen drinking is you cannot stop them because once they reach legal age (18 years in many counties), they can drink as much alcohol as they can.
Alcohol is bad because it...
Weakens immune system
Disrupts sleep
Cause diabetes
Makes heartbeat irregular
Makes bones thin, depletes muscles
Changes hormonal balance
How can you help your teen stop drinking alcohol? The easiest ways is by making them aware of adverse effects of drinking and asking them to choose non-drinking friends
If the teen has a friend who drinks alcohol, it is more likely that he/she will drink. Encourage teens to leave friends who are not willing to give up drinking, and befriend those who do not drink or who have given up alcohol.
