| As I've become older and wiser I've started to | | | | definitely seem to become more emotional than |
| realize that alcohol is a dangerous drug which is | | | | physical in nature and there's nothing worse than |
| not given the respect any other potent drug | | | | feeling 'down in the dumps' for 48 hours just |
| would be given. | | | | because you've overindulged with alcohol. |
| This in turn has caused endless problems for | | | | 4. Black outs - Is there anything more frightening |
| society that we're only beginning to come to | | | | than black outs? Thankfully I've only ever |
| terms with in the 21st century. | | | | experienced them 2 or 3 times in 6 years but |
| Below I've listed 6 of the things that I despise | | | | when it happens it can knock you for six.Why |
| most about alcohol. | | | | would anyone want to go out on a night for fun |
| | | | and not remember it? It just doesn't make any |

| 2. The dehydration - There's nothing worse than | | | | 6. It destroys your self esteem and confidence - |
| having to get up repeatedly throughout the night | | | | Alcohol is deceptive, it leads you to believe that it |
| to rehydrate yourself after a night out. The irony | | | | provides a confidence boost in social situations, |
| is you've spent the night drinking, the last thing | | | | but it comes at a price. The more your inhibitions |
| you'd think you'd need to do is to drink more. | | | | are lowered, the more you're likely to act out of |
| 3. The crippling depression afterwards - As you | | | | character which will likely cause all sorts of self |
| get older the hangovers only seem to become | | | | esteem problems in the morning when you ask |
| worse. Maybe it's nature's own way of telling us | | | | yourself repeatedly 'Why the hell did I act like |
| to act our ages. With age the the hangovers | | | | that? |
