Nowadays, young people consume alcohol more prematurely. We know of cases of children of 14 years who already go to parties in nightclubs or pubs reserved for an adult audience. Despite taking some serious measures, incidents with young people and alcohol persist. Since, although they cannot enter the fashionable gambling dens where they are served, they can acquire it by other methods.
The binge drinking it is a practice that is carried out secretly from parents and as a measure of drinking alcohol despite the restrictions. In addition, it is more profitable for teenagers to buy bottles than to pay for an entrance and consume the drinks offered by the disco or the pub. Although in Spain the mandatory law to buy alcohol or tobacco is 18 years, many establishments sell illegally.
This brings many consequences. As several cases of elliptical coma intoxication, where several young people are treated urgently with a stomach lavage. Most times they buy cheap or imitation alcohols that are not regulated and can seriously damage their liver and more if they take it in large quantities.
Apart, this causes a serious cleaning problem. After consumption, the bottles and plastic cups are thrown to the ground and mixed with the rest of garbage. When there are village parties, the dirt is so big that a large number of people have to be taken to clean a whole street. This creates a bad vision of the place and discredits the tranquillity.
Therefore, we must become aware. The binge drinking is a practice that has to definitely end for the common good. We have to educate young people to drink responsibly and teach them a limit. All this will benefit and avoid unnecessary misfortunes.
