Oxford
University did a research and recommended levels of alcohol consumption. British
people should adjust their daily alcohol intake. According to Oxford University
people should not drink more than half a unit per day. That's a quarter of a
pint of beer, or a third of a glass of wine. This adjustment could save 4,600
lives every year. According to the writer of the article, not many people will follow
this advice because life is going to be boring and that drinking in “units” is impossible.
The alcohol problem occurs in the age group 30- and 40- something. Young people
are more wise, there's been a 16 per cent decrease in the number of British
11-to-15-year-olds who have tried alcohol.
I think it is
great that young people are more sensible towards alcohol consumption, even
though they get bad examples from adults. The way these 30- and 40- some age
group behave, is ridiculous. The main rise in hospital admissions attributable
to alcohol, is due to this age group. The writer of the article acts as if people
cannot have fun without alcohol and that is pathetic. I think people are not happy with their life,
when they need alcohol to party or relax. I would be ashamed if it were my
parents.http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/alcohol-i-drink-therefore-i-am-7808343.html
Britons have a reputation when it comes to alcohol abuse. I read about the 16% decrease among youngsters. The government should give more information about the effects it has on chidren's brains. But as long as the parents keep on drinking it will never change.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt appears that the so called 'binge drinking' has past over to another group of people in the UK! first there were the youngsters but now it are the parents. I think it's not a good development because these people will still drive after they were binge drinking. this could lead to a lot more victims in traffic etc..
