So fancy a drink?As we covered smoking quite early on in the being bad topic I thought it appropriate to mention its best friend. Drink. Now I admit I do drink and so do a lot of people I know, but I don’t really drink that often. I don’t sit at home shaking with a bottle in one hand and a shotgun in the other. No. I mostly drink when I go out with mates. It’s the only time it’s necessary for me. Go out and get pissed.
Now I’ve never know anyone who had a drink problem, but when I see it in the media it’s usually connected to escapism and the old saying ‘the answer to life’s problems aren’t at the bottom of a bottle’ (insert the correct saying I know that’s a bit messed). Advertisements for drink awareness have been getting darker as the years have gone on. Especially for drink driving. The makers have mainly tried to get their point across by really showing the reality of what can happen if you drink and drive, and this mainly involves showing the blood. These adverts may be hard to watch but I think they are necessary to get the point across. There was also one about ‘drinking to much alcohol can make you feel invincible’ and I think that one was realty hard hitting too. In my opinion I think drinking is okay as long as it’s in moderation. I don’t practically enjoy it when people get really plastered. (Mainly because I’m the one holding their hair back as they hurl) but that much drink is not needed to have a good time. Think of your liver!!!!!!
Here's a good site to keep you drink aware - http://www.drinkaware.co.uk/

Hi there V. Hmmm... some of that sounds mighty familiar, that bit about holding back peoples hair while they throw up. Of course this wouldn't be our expeditions to the Wharf? Which, by the way, we need to start again. Yes I know, think about your liver, but let's face it we have a laugh! As you know, I used to drink all the time, but now I have no social life so I usually confine it to shopping trips now (in joke with me and someone not present). Anyway, drinking is bad, so why do the government still allow it to be advertised? Well they get a lovely big cut of the profits. That's why I think drinking's still so popular. Bye.
