ALC

Ive decided that I am going to do to a poster board. I am just picturing a really good idea for the market place. i am going to glue everything on to the poster and it is going to give a lot of good information/facts that most people have not heard of. i think it is going to be good for everyone to see because it is going to educate them on what the problem with drinking is and people will learn how bad drinking alcohol really is. I got most of these facts form "Florida institute of technology" they have a lot of recent data that i was looking to find. otherwise I don't think my project would be as good as it is now. also on this website it has this test to see if you have a addiction that I am planning on adding on my poster board. Surprisingly i am actually learning a lot and have a good time doing it. i am currently in a 2 day suspension and all i have been doing is working on this project. i want to get a A so i can pass fourth quarter and do a good job. i have missed a lot of class so it is hard to know exactly what mr kramer wants but im working my ass so hard that there is no way it is going to come out bad! its going to be so good and is going to teach everyone at our school what alcoholism is and how to prevent it and get away form it.

Alcohol binge drinking problems and solutions article.

I just got done reading this article that is going to help me with my paper so much it is called "Alcohol binge drinking problems and solutions" The article is mainly college drinking problems as are a lot of articles that come up when i do research but this one was different even though it was mainly about college drinking the information that is on binge drinking is really good and is going to fill my paper. It talks about all these studies that have been done in many different country's and also studies that relate to high school students which is good because that is who i am going to be talking about this issue to. "While a continuing barrage of newspaper articles, TV shows, and special interest group reports claim that binge drinking among young people is a growing epidemic, the actual fact is quite to the contrary. Binge drinking among young people is clearly declining and it has been doing so for many years." (www2.potsdam.edu) that is interesting to me because then they show a graph saying that drinking has declined from 41% to 28% between 1980 and 2003, that's a drop of almost one third! another thing that keeps coming up that is interesting to me is that there are ads for alcohol abuse help on every article i do for drinking and alcoholism, this makes me wonder who else reads these if its someone who is trying to help a family member and there doing research or if alcoholics do research and see these ads, i don't know it just kind of confused me and made me wonder if some of the facts weird twisted to make drinking seem horrible because personally i believe in everything is good in the right amounts, saying that drinking is really okay for you if you do it the right responsible way.  another reason why i like this article is that it doesn't just state that there is an issue but it also gives us way to help against alcohol abuse. which i like that they want people to take action. this article actually had some humor in it some how they were talking about how Americans "binge" drink like they were trying to please members of the Prohibition party and the christian temperance union.

Startin ma project sirrrr

I have just picked my topic for the issues project that we have to do for class, and I picked Alcoholism. I know for a fact that alcoholism is a big problem for so many people in the world today and has been for 100s of years, you don't even need to do research to know that. Ever since i was a kid i have always heard about alcoholism being a big problem but i never really experienced what it was like until my later years in high school when you are getting older and people around you are starting their addiction to alcoholism. Its sad because of its dependents that alcohol causes, i know some people that they have to drink that day and if they don't they will find a way to no matter what, if you know at all what alcohol does to you health wise then you would know that drinking everyday is a horrible factor for you're body and it is the wrong choice.
