If you are able to drink alcohol and stay in control of your actions and remember everything you did the night before the next morning, then love it. If you drink
alcohol and get a black out and you do not know what your own name is or you can not even see if you still dressed or not, then leave it!.
The advertising of
alcohol and the marketing of alcoholic products inluding peer pressure and family influence. All play a part in the level of alcohol consumption.
Young people and alcohol
Young people who start drinking alcohol and experiment with alcoholic products at a young age, it is mostly because of the media influence which it has on the
youth. The media has a huge effect on the consumption and the usage of alcohol.
Fact is that
South Africans consumes the most beer then anyother African country, with an average of 59.2 litres of beer consumed per person annually.
Some people say that we have welcomed alcohol in our cultures way back in the days hence we have umqombothi (African beer).
Do we blame the large amount of alcohol consumption on
media or is it just for the love of alcohol? What is your say?
