My attitude towards drinking is that its acceptable to do if you go out about two or three times a week at the most anymore than that and I would say you’re a alcoholic because it obvious you consume a lot of alcohol and depend on it.
The government say that it’s recommended for women to drink 2-3 units a day and a 3-4 units for a man which is about 3 units for a pint of beer and 3 units for two small glass of wine.

Well before coming Uni I was T Total!!!!! I used to binge drink (drinking major amounts of alcohol) every weekend as a teenager aged 14-16 but as soon as I became boring and went to college and turned 18 I’d only been out about 5 or 6 times alcohol did not really touch my lips. But as I said now I’m at Uni some could say I’ve developed a problem that consists of drinking about 3 times a week but again it’s binge drinking and I become very drunk what starts as a quick glass in the Hogs always end up me plastered and sprawled across Planet’s or Oceana’s dance floor. But I will say it’s generally what most students do for fun I don’t know anyone who I hang around with that doesn’t drink which is quite scary (and no my group is not Alcohol Anonymous).

The out comes of alcohol are quite serious as well as good . The funny and good ones are people failing over, acting strange, people flashing, and humorous remarks people make etc all gossip for the next day or some forever that you cant get rid of because what you did was so bad all happen because people are under the influence As well as this it’s a great way to socialise and past away a few hours now the sum has been out what’s a better way to spend the day than in a beer garden all you people that are saying actual gardening are idiots. However I will admit there is sordid affects of alcohol, being sick, fighting, violence, one night stands that could lead to pregnancy or STI’s and very common a hangover. Does the great affects of alcohol weigh more than the bad when it’s down on screen no but in my eyes yes I love to socialise and have drink it's such a good atmosphere most of the time as long as you know your limits is fine. It’s always great when you and you mates hit the pub you go in completely sober and come out sh*t faced brilliant!!!

  1. I agree with Yasmin when she says it is acceptable to go out and drink alcohol a few times a week. I do not however think if you go out more than this a few times a week your an alcoholic as if that person goes out every day that week and consumes within their recommend daily amount of alcohol then they would not be an alcoholic- I would consider an individual who drinks excessively and consumer a lot of units on a daily basis is an alcoholic. I also agree where she says UNI makes students drink more- I think it does because everyone around you drinks, surely you will also want to or you maybe even feel pressured into doing so. Overall I think Yasmin has made very good points especially into relation to the good and bad points of drinking alcohol.
