In my opinion alcoholic drinks are bad for every age, it is the same if you are old or young. It is true that if you are young can have colateral damage when you are old. Some moths ago, I have a meeting with some people who has liver transplatation, they told us that take the less alcohol that we can. They also told us that alcohol at the begining is very good, because we feel happy, but later we feel bad and sad and we can provoke a car accident.
ResponderEliminarAlthough you take very little alcohol it affects you. The best way to drink alcohol is to drink with meals. If we drink alcohol when we are young we will have problems with our lire and heart.

I think drinking is a bad habit and it is not healthy for our body. No one should drink alcohol every day or those over 18 or children because it can cause disease and alcohol is a drug. So, I have never drunk alcohol or friends either, but I know under 18 who do. Police should monitor some stores that sell alcohol to minors 18 and buy it without the permission of their parents. They should look at the DNI to ensure you can drink. Children who do not know what bottle is really.

Alcoholic drinks are criticized by many experts as doctors, gymnasts or our own parents. Whatever, we can see them in a lot of parties, weddings, etc. It´s said that consumption in excess is bad but it´s also said that "a few of them, once on a while" it is not bad. But... is that true?
ResponderEliminarWhen someone is drunk his motor capacity is not controlled by himself (equilibrium loss, bad sight...). He feels tired because he has lost a lot of blood sugar. His nerve system starts to fail. In addition, alcohol and memory cannot be joined because the body stops producing the B1 vitamin.
These are inmediate effects but the long consumption can causes bad memory, bad talking, anaemia, mouth cancer... and the worst: addiction. Imagine a person who is always agressive and cannot live without drink some alcohol. There are a lot of people that have this problem and need help inmediately.
I dont want to forbid the alcohol drinks but in my opinion, people should have more information about this because is a drug that is too easy getting. Regarding the youngs I think thatis not necessary to get alcohol to have fun.

It is true that alcohol is bad for everyone, alcohol causes cancer, you can die if you drink too much alcohol.
ResponderEliminarDrinking is a habit of teenagers, they can drink for many reasons, when you go out with your friends drinkers, if you have stress, and alcohol makes you more friendly. But you can vomit and the next day you will not remember anything. Besides alcohol has a bad taste, I don't know why the people drink...
I do not think the end of the big bottle in Spain, because the teens have nothing better to do when they go to a party, but without alcohol you can have fun. In the big boutles you can make many friends, you can do crazies stories, you can laugh until you cry, but people laugh at you.
When summer comes everyone drink alcohol and go to a big bottles in the beach where have the party, there they dance, smoke and drink.
All in all, all good things of this life, kill, fat or pregnant.
Lucía Rodríguez 1Bach.B
I think that teens should not drink because they are under eighteen. It is forbidden to drink alcohol to minors, but sometimes stores sell alcohol without asking how old they are. Make bottle is bad for your health because alcohol is a drug that we can cause problems to our health. We all must learn that there are some things we should not do when we are teenagers.
ResponderEliminarLamego Rita Rodrigues 2 º ESO-A
My opinion is that drinking under 18 is bad even considering that age. Yes, you can drink without going over, a drink with friends for espeia day celebration, etc.. For fun you have to drink? You can not drink you a perfectly refrescop while you will feel more active.
ResponderEliminarCristina Bejar Lopez 2º ESO-B
I don´t drink alcohol yet, because I think it´s very bad for my health. My friends don't drink alcohol, but in parties I see some teens drink alcoholic drinks. It would be good news to come a generation that shouldn´t drink. I don´t know what it mean BIG BOTTLE in Spain.

ResponderEliminarIn my opinion drink alcohol is not good at any age.To keep a healthy lifestyle. Not good especially for a boy my age .Alcohol can damage the brain and other organs such as the liver ."Not having fun drinking" is more you can cause addiction problems or hormones etc... I do not know but I often see people on TV studies say the average age at which they start drinking in the country are 13 years. Lately it is reducing alcohol consumption due to new trends in energy drinks but these two things together are fatal . As healthy? Water. Everyone should change the alcohol water.

I think that drinking alcohol isn't good , because it is harmful for our body and we can die earlier. Today teenagers start consuming alcohol before they are 18 years old and this can also be the cause of their earlier comsumption of drugs.

In my opinion drinking alcohol isn't good when you're only a teenager because it is bad for the kidneys and for the body. Today teens are drinking too much alcohol, they believe it's a game, a fun, but they really don't know is that they are damaging the body. In my opinion teenagers should buy non-alcoholic beer. I don't drink alcohol because I think it is bad and juices, Coca-Cola and Fanta are better. But when you're older, you can drink alcohol because your body is fully formed. Although you can't drink too much because it is dangerous, for example, when you drive, you can't get drunk. You have to drink it right, you have to drink little and just. I never drink alcohol, I don't like it.

In my opinion drinking alcohol isn't good for our life when we are very young because alcohol damages the brain and can affect our bodies, including alcohol can affect our heart. I don't drink alcohol because I think it is bad for my life. I think I will not drink alcohol to more than 18 years. Now I drink juices, Coca-Cola and Fanta because I think that they are better for young people as I.

China is the most advanced country in the world but is also the country with more air pollution in the world. This is a problem because the air pollution affects the lungs. So many people wear masks. The air pollution is because in 1945 dropped an atomic bomb called The Little Boy that pollute much of Japan and China by air. It is also because there are many people, if every family has a car, there are many cars in China that pollute. They can reduce pollution using public transport, plant more trees in the city, using the taxi ..... Pollution is very bad because it shortens the life of the people. People die every day because of this. We can reduce it together.

ResponderEliminaralcohol is bad for your brain and isn´t good for your health

Nowadays, there are a lot of teenagers who drink alcohol, and they think that it is very common to drink alcohol when you are under 18 years old. And that is a problem because specially in Spain it is causing a lot of problems. For example a lot foreign companies are selling trips to Spain with only alcohol and a hotel to sleep and that makes us a country without laws.
ResponderEliminarAnother example of this. it's the places that make the government to drink alcohol for teenagers when there are big parties and not all are under 18 years old. And that is another serious problem, because the government is promoting it.
All in all, alcohol is bad when we are growing, because our brain is developing at that age. And teenagers musn't drink alcohol.
I think that teenage more and more drink alcohol and this not good.
ResponderEliminarIn my village the children of 14 years drunk in the street,they caught a bottle among two friends and hardly ever just good.
I think this hurts their organisms,they are very young.
It is true that my friends and I sometimes drink a couple of glasses,but we knowing what to do at all times.
And he most important for me,Spain is a country defined by party and alcohol,and this,many young people take is a grace,but don´t think about the consequences.
I think that drink alcohol is bad for our health, to drink alcohol is unhealthy for your body. I saw on tv that when you get drunk, you lose a lot of neurons. The most of the girls and boys of my age drink alcohol, but I never drink it because I'm sufficiently intelligent for can that i'm young and I need study for have a good future, and I think that I need a lot of neurons.
ResponderEliminarI start drinking when I finished my studies and have a good job.
Teenage drinking has become one of the largest social issues among young people in America today. Although more than half of high schoolers drinks on a regular basis, the problem is that they are not aware of how dangerous alcohol can actually be. The reality is that alcohol is often the cause of many problems among these teenagers. Simply put, alcohol ruins many young peoples lives, and is now of the most serious problems young people face.
ResponderEliminarAlcohol dulls parts of the brain that are crucial to decision making, decreases the ability to concentrate, and slows the reaction time behind the wheel. Drunk drivers are treacherous on the road and can easily hurt themselves or someone innocent. Something big needs to be done, or this dangerous trend will continue to harm many people in the future.
Another problem with underage drinking is the fact that they lose control of their actions. Alcohol often results in teens having risky sexual behavior. Rapings, unplanned pregnancies, VIH infections, and sexually transmitted diseases are very commonly linked back to when they had been drinking.
Concluding to the topic, so many people end up learning the hard way. Teenagers that abuse alcohol often develop problems with their liver, heart, stomach, kidneys, and/or mouth and throat. Alcohol abuse is extremely harmful to ones body, especially to a teenagers. It affects almost every organ system, either directly or indirectly. Unfortunately, drinkers often do not think about what kind of effect alcohol will have on them when they get older.
Since 1994, young people begin to consume alcohol rather than tobacco. In fact, at age 14, 63% of students have used it at some time in the last year. And at age 16 the figure rises to 84%. In our country there is a great concern about the generalization of alcohol consumption at an early age. There are few cases in which we see young people getting drunk.
ResponderEliminarIn the last Study on Habit of Consumption in the Youth of the FAD, the main reasons of the young Spaniards to consume alcohol were exposed, between which they emphasize:
Almost 60% consider that alcohol has to do with having fun and having fun. Younger people, under 23 years old, explained that under the effects of alcohol, relationships are easier and they have more security and self-confidence.
Another reason would be, do not see danger in the consumption of weekend or punctual, linked to social or group event. The most worrying fact is that young people between 23 and 30 years old do not perceive danger in daily solitary consumption either.
From my point of view this is an increasingly common problem in recent years, we should help young people for whom drinking is something usual, giving information about the dangers, helping them to improve control over their actions ..

ResponderEliminarDrinking alcohol with 18 years old or more is bad , but what about teenagers who start drinking alcohol with less than 18? This is a big problem and we need a solution.
ResponderEliminarNowadays teenagers start drinking alcohol with 15-16 years old, in the adolescence, which is a phase when their body is changing and they search the integration in social groups. Some of them move away from their family. They usually drink alcohol in parties or special celebrations
In Spain there is a big problem because teenagers can get alcohol easily, alcohol is sold in many markets without asking for an identity card and that has to change.
Alcohol has lots consequences but it especially affects young people because their body is not formed yet. It produces cancer in many parts of the body, can cause accidents on the road and damages parts of the brain that are crucial to decision making, decreases the ability to concentrate, and slows the reaction time behind the wheel.
To put all in a nutshell I have to say that consuming alcohol is a very bad decision if you are younger than 18 yeras, It produces a lot of diseases and is harmful for your health. Parents and adults should show the consequences about the alcohol and try to be aware of the possible disseases.
Nowadays, more than half of teenagers start drinking alcohol before age 18, between 15 and 16. This has been become a big social problem and we need a solution. Some experts say that teenagers drink because it is a phase in which their body is changing and they look for the integration in social groups and others even move away from their family. Do they know how dangerous alcohol can be?
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand, the alcohol is bad even for adults but in young people it produces more damage because its body isn’t formed yet. It produces cancer in many parts of the body, damages parts of the brain that are crucial for decision-making and decreases the ability to concentrate and slows down reaction time at the wheel so it can cause accidents on the road.
On the other hand, there is a big problem because in many countries like Spain teenagers can get alcohol easily. In addition, another problem is that they lose control of their actions and may have sexual risk behavior leading to rape, unplanned pregnancies, HIV infections and sexually transmitted diseases are often related to alcohol consumption.
To sum up, alcohol ruins many young people's lives, and is now of the most serious problems young people face.
Desirée Rodríguez Arias 4ºA
To begin with, alcohol induces health damage in adults, ultimately after repetitive consumption can induce death. But, what’s up with the teenagers?
ResponderEliminarThey aren’t allowed to drink, but this doesn’t matter too much in teens. At many shops like village supermarkets alcohol is sold without any identification card.
It is estimated that Spanish teenagers start drinking between 15 or 16 years old. The majority do this to fit in the group and not be excluded. It usually happens at parties or special events. At festivities, they are together with high music and drink alcohol. It’s known as “botellón”. Some people suffered an ethyl coma for drinking too much.
The alcohol at this early age can cause problems in mental development. A great percentage has problems to progress at the school and later
could have serious difficulties to live without alcohol.
Summing up, authorities must have more control about this subject, both in the sale of it and at parties.
Today the authorities have lost control over alcohol, that is to say in my town for example they sell you a bottle of alcohol when you are 16 years old, when it is supposed that it can only be sold to people over 18.
ResponderEliminarThis then gives rise to their consequences, for example children of 15 and 16 years who suffer a like ethyl or get dizzy because of this.
In my opinion I think that both the authorities and people should think more about us since we do this without thinking and then problems come, 15 or 16 years is a very early age to start drinking alcohol, so we are going to stop at think before doing things.
Salvador Pretel.
I think that drinking alcohol is bad even if you are 18 years old. In fact I think that you should not be able to drink at least until the age of 21 as it is done in the United States.
ResponderEliminarNowadays if you go out to the street at night you will find a lot of children between 14-18 years old making big bottle (which is obviously illegal) many times the police know that there is a big bottle but they will not punish them because they don't get complaints from people and then they don't care. I have even seen people making big bottles about 50m from a police station and the police did not intervene.
Both teenagers and the police do it wrong. Adolescents know that they are not allowed to drink at least until they are 18 years old, but they still do it and on the street. But it is that the police also do them badly by being aware of these situations and not intervening (Obviously not all police officers, there are police officers who do their job well and intervene)
