BLUR?
Last week in class the speaker on alcohol really left me with a lot of thoughts on the drug so many college students adore. I know what alcohol abuse is and what is looks like just in my family. My grandfathers are both alcoholics. One died after recieving a liver transplant and the other is still alive and continues his 25 year sobriety with an organization known as AA. My own father has been in rehab three times struggling with DWIs and divorce. He now has control over his drinking and can enjoy a beer without spiraling out of control. My mother still parties like she is my age and her actions while on alcohol are scary. My family's history on the drug has always made me afraid to be a drinker because I do not want anything as simple as a drink in control of me. What the presentation said to me last week has only given me more excuses and reasons not to gamble with my health or life for that matter.
