INRODUCTION
People today are fan of drinking expensive hard alcoholic beverages especially those who are stressed or who have problems. They drink a lot of these because of its effects that can make them high or drunk and makes them forget their problems. Not only problematic people do these, but also those people who want to have fun, not knowing the effects that will happen to some parts of their body of drinking too much of it. Too much intake of these liquors can cause kidney cancer which makes it more expensive when it comes to treatment. This illness won’t happen if they choose the right liquor to drink.
In Visayas, Waray people, who live in Samar-Leyte have their own product called Tuba or in English, Coconut Red Wine. It’s much cheaper than the other branded liquors because it’s easily made and local, but, it gives health benefits to the drinker and can also make a person drunk and healthy. Tuba is among the best wines in the world which provides multiple wine benefits that our body can get. They also have this tradition in Visayas wherein Waraynons used to drink Tuba every Sunday as a reward to their hard work during weekdays. They call it Dinomiggo. In Luzon, it is known as Lambanog but in Visayas, it is known as Tuba, Bahal or Bahalina and the only thing which makes the two of them different is the color and the mixture.

    Alcohol is a drug found in beer, wine, and liquor that causes intoxication. Alcohol can impair a person’s physical and emotional state. Intoxication is the physical and mental changes produced by drinking alcohol (Friedman, Stine, and Whaten 2242). Some people believe that beer and wine are safer than liquor which leads them to believe that it is okay to drink. The truth is that one 12 ounce bottle of beer or a 5 ounce glass of wine is equal to the amount of alcohol in a 1.5 ounce shot or liquor and can cause the same effects (“Facts About Alcohol”). Short term effects of alcohol include nausea, vomiting, dehydration, coma, death, blackout, memory loss, poor vision, reduced reaction time, and loss of judgement along with self control (Friedman,…

    Dealing with drugs and alcohol on a daily basis has to be a struggle for people who do them. People often do drugs and drink alcohol in order to get over their situations, peer pressure, or it is inherited from family members and just simply because they want to do it. No one is perfect and you can get help whenever you feel that you need it but just don’t wait too late.

    The consumption of alcohol is consumed by so many individuals, both male and females, young and old, on a daily basis. I 've often heard the term "women can 't hold their liquor." I think this, is because of their small frames and some of us don 't know when enough is enough. I think having a drink, is ok but an excessive consumption of alcohol can be both unhealthy and detrimental. In this paper I will discuss the results of a study that was conducted on male participants. The study was used to determine if males that consumed an excessive amount of alcohol, had an "addictive" personality.…

    Society and media has always made an impression that alcohol is an essential ingredient in social gatherings. Television, radio, magazine, social media, and so forth are major advertisers for ads pertaining to alcohol, since liquor companies pay major amount of money to advertise in these media outlets. These media ads are seen everywhere from sports, to nightclubs, to billboards, more than million liquor commercials and ads appear in all of media outlets. I believe, majority of people from ages 21-35 are more known to drink alcohol on frequent basis than others, whether it's at home, or place of social gatherings. Many college students receive bad grades if they have a bad habit of drinking alcohol, it causes them not to focus or concentrate in their studies, or…

    Alcohol is a common and easily obtainable drug that has been socially accepted in many countries. Alcohol is a ‘depressant drug.’ It slows down the actions of the central nervous system and lowers heart and breathing rates, allowing many people to ‘relax.’ The drug doesn’t affect the body as much if it is taken in right amounts; however if the drug is abused, it can be very harmful. Even though many people are aware of the negative effects of alcohol, people still decide to drink as it helps them unwind and have a ‘good time.’…

    According to the statistical abstract, Americans consume on average 37 gallons of alcohol per year, the majority being beer at an average of 32 gallons per year. The remaining 5 gallons is comprised of 3 gallons of wine and 2 gallons of other distilled alcohol. At this rate, Americans consume more beer than either coffee or milk. Beer consumption has become a major issue on college campuses with recent epidemics of binge drinking, particularly by college males. Many incidents have resulted in injury and death. Although many recent studies have extolled the health benefits of moderate alcohol consumption, the emphasis of these studies is upon moderate consumption or one or fewer glasses of wine per day. Some emerging studies indicate that the health benefits may be the same for grape juice and wine. Alcohol increases the risk of birth defects, and women who are or may become pregnant should not consume…

    "This law has been an abysmal failure. It hasn't reduced or eliminated drinking. It has simply driven it underground, behind closed doors, into the most risky and least manageable of settings,"(Debate) said John McCardell of “Choose Responsibility”. Choose Responsibility is a non-profit organization that is for lowering the drinking age to 18. Young adults can vote, fight and die for their country overseas, and purchase tobacco at age 18, but why cannot they have a beer? Drinking among the youth in the United States has escalated to dangerous levels such as binge drinking, reckless parties, and even death. The average age when kids take their first sip of alcohol is a staggering 14 years of age (Debate). The legal drinking age of twenty-one is not working. The government needs a solution to fix this problem before it continues to get out of hand. Therefore, age should not determine when someone can or cannot drink. As well as, lowering the drinking age to 18 could fix the youths drinking habits and dangerous alcoholic environments they face today.…
