Most 13-years-old Drink: A Discerning View

Came across the new report about the concern expressed by the Home Secretay Jacqui Smith on the teenage alcohol drinking problems published in two online news websites:

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/most-youngsters-drink-alcohol-by-the-age-of-13-779140.html


Here is my Discerning View on this report.

The teenagers bombarded with the alcohol drinks glamorous images displayed around them! The Super market wine stores, pubs, bars, drinking parties, discos, night clubs, advertisements and many times alcohol drinks bottles cabinets in their own houses.

They see their “role models” their parents, peers, teachers, politician, sports stars celebrities all drinking and having its fun and the enjoyment. Now if any one more fascinated with the curiosity of its experience, (if they not had it already) desire of its drinking taste fun and enjoyment, obviously it is them.

In such alcohol drinks prevailing environment the authorities telling the youngsters the 13 years old to refrain and wait for 8 more years to have its taste, fun and enjoyment, it would be too much to bear, so most of the teenagers succumb to the pressures and get into this dangerous alcohol drinking that could potentially lead them into serious alcohol(ism) problems including the terrifying drunk driving/accidents!

Now coming to this above news correspondents report. I believe that the Home Secretary Jacqui Smith who so much concerned about the teenagers alcohol drinking most probably herself (or the people close to her in this matter) consume those drinks. For that matter the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown his colleagues and the people around close to him and most people who advice the teenagers not to drink themselves consume those extremely dangerous high-alcohol drug content drinks!

When the Youngsters see these role models who ask them refrain from drinking themselves obviously drinking they see in it the typical adult hypocrisy of those who tell them not to drink but they themselves drink and have fun with it! Teenagers follow not what they say but what they do!

People who advice the teenagers not to drink should first know the difference between the idealism and the practicability of it. In the prevailing alcohol market situation, it is impossible to prevent the most resourceful youngsters today from drinking so the right way is to remove those dangerous alcohol drink and to make all those alcohol drinking mostly safe in the first place.

I say this on the basis of the available alcohol epidemiological research survey evidences on this matter, which overwhelmingly points to the fact that almost all alcohol(ism) problem caused by those high alcohol drug (having around and above 5%) content drinks which the alcohol authorities license for the public consumption in the name of ‘Standard Alcohol Drinks’ most popular are the regular beer containing around 5% alcohol, which treacherously lead the people into excessive alcohol consumption thus into several alcohol(ism) problems including the drunk driving/accidents!

On the other hand there are no such research evidence that points out that the low-alcohol drinks (preferably having around and below 2% alcohol) causing any of those problems. In fact the low-alcohol drinks can provide the maximum drinking pleasers with moderate alcohol consumption therefore the best alternative or replacement of the high alcohol drinks with the low-alcohol drinks to prevent all alcohol(ism) problems.

Therefore, the authorities instead of telling the teenagers not to drink those dangerous alcohol drinks they should first of all remove all those dangerous alcohol drinks and make all those alcohol drinks safe to drink. So even if the teenagers consume those alcohol drinks they are mostly at not risk of falling into the alcohol(ism) problems neither any of the adults.

In this regard I suggest to read the most important “DUI Drunk-Driving Root Cause” Blog Posts, in the web link given below.
