Video Review After watching the “Old Before My Time” video I was completely appalled. The effects that alcohol had on so many young people’s lives was absolutely detrimental and I think the film accurately portrayed the current stigma about alcohol—that’s its safe and okay to drink. A lot of people in their late teens and early twenties drink a lot and party a lot without realizing the consequences that their actions have. The film depicted how alcohol affected the lives of various young men in women. It led to alcohol dependence, liver failure, pancreatitis, and even death. It is truly a wakeup call to the young people who believe that they are invinsible and that they will not become another statistic in an alcohol related disease. The film accurately portrayed how most young people choose to completely ignore the fact that drinking can cause irreparable damage to their bodies. When they are out drinking they fail to realize that they are slowly damaging their livers and are one step closer to becoming alcoholics. Based on what I saw in the film, all of the drinkers did not think they had a problem and claimed that they could stop whenever they wanted to, yet nonetheless continued drinking. It is my personal opinion that the film was successful in portraying how alcohol is currently affecting the young people of the world. In addition, it was successful at scaring me into not wanting to touch a single drink in my life because it shows just how easy it is for drinking to spiral out of control and cause problems. The film is one step closer to raising awareness of how alcohol is affecting young bodies and how dangerous and deadly that alcohol can truly be.
