Statistics show that the number of alchol related deaths in the UK have rised since 1990, rising from the lowest figure of 4,023 in 1992 to the highest of 9,031 in 2008. I found tha there are more alcohol related deaths in men than in women. We know that people drink because it makes them feel good, lively and happy but in my opinion I don't think that because I can feel them things without the consumption of alcohol. The long term effects of alcohol are cancer, mental health problems such as depression or memory loss, heart disease, strokes and diabetes, so it can be seen from this that there are many serious out comes of someone who constantly drinks which is why it can lead to death later on in life.

Response to Beckys post on gambling

I've never actually quite understood the whole point of gambling to be honest, I do understand that when people win they get a thrill out of it, it's fun, enjoyable BUT only when you win. as you've said you're more likely to lose than win. I personally think it's a con and a complete waste of time. I also think where the addction starts is when someone wins once, they think they're going to win again and if not they keep trying and trying and trying until they lose all their money, so it's a way of getting money out of people and just pointless really.
