Alcohol Addiction My topic is alcohol addiction. I chose this topic because I see on the news that there was a drunk driving accident, or something about someone being drunk. Alcohol addiction is when you can't limit or contain your drinking. When you can't stop yourself from drinking, you can have many effects. Symptoms can vary from nausea, sweating, shakiness, or anxiety after drinking for a period of time. it's really hard for alcoholics to stop drinking because they've become accustomed to it. Most liikely, if your addicted to drinking and you want to stop, you'll need a lot of help from those around you.

Alcoholism can also develop or worsen based on a person’s environment and traumatic experiences in life. These factors may include culture, family, friends, peer pressures, and the way the person lives. This is an issue that faces America because alcohol involes half of all crimes, murders, accidental deaths and suicides. The consequences of excessive and underage drinking affect virtually all college students. It's like when people drink, they don't know how to have ONE drink. When people drink they go over the top and just go crazy. If people in America were to control their alcohol intake, I think a lot of the effects wouldn't be so severe. It's not okay to be an alcoholic because it draws the oxygen out of your blood stream. In the end it only leads to life-threatening effects such as death.
