Alcohol

 I believe that alcohol is the strongest drug out there.
What is it exactly? It's a depressant that affects pretty much all of your body. It comes from the natural fermentation of vegetables, fruits and grains. Brew it up, and you got a wide range of beverages with alcohol contents.




 If you can control your limits with drinking, you'd know that it helps you relax and loosen up, but if you don't have any limits...it straight up makes you into a drunk dumbass. Alcohol can damage the part of your brain that controls coordination, judgment, decision-making, and memory...Oh and it makes you slur your words.

Another thing! Binge drinking (drinking a lot and drinking fast) really harms the shit out of your health because it overwhelms the body's defenses.Unable or able to move and think clearly, you can do stupid, risky, reckless things that are totally unsafe...
We've all heard this, but as a teenager your brain is still developing. The long term effects of alcohol are pretty damn scary. It travels through your bloodstream and damages your brain, stomach, liver, kidneys and your muscles! Even if you're just out for a night with your friends, drinking, just know that the damage done to it then will affect you in a way.

Statistics show that alcohol kills more teens than all of the other drugs combined.
I guess the bottom line is the reason that alcohol consumption is legal for ages 21 and up is because alcohol can have seriously dangerous, long-term impacts on the brain and the body.
