Thread: Do you have any solutions for Drug/Alcohol abuse?

There was a time in cinematic history where virtually every actor/actress was portrayed on screen with a cigarette in hand.Smoking ,it was implied,was cool.as a result everyone was doing it,including kids.Well,as awareness to the danger of smoking increased,"cool" images of smoking disappeared.Unfortunately,the same can't be said about drugs and alcohol.These vices are staples in every media. simply,drinking and using drugs is shown as being cool.


Our kids are literally moving around in an intoxicated daze.Immature behavior is then amplified due to being under the influence. Drunk driving,poor grades and attendance,anti-social and violent behavior and the list goes on.


AS a responsible human being we have to save our younger generations.


Do you guys have any solutions to this dangerous problem in our society ?

This is the unfortunate reality of our current young society,Do have any solutions to solve this issue ?

I think our younger generation hates advice, I think we have to show them the negative impact of alcohol by showing them the real-life victims of alcohol. Then only they will quit alcohol.
