Parents often complain that their children drink, but it is true that many of the young people are introduced to alcohol at home. Some parents think there’s nothing wrong with drinking 5 or 6 beers or getting drunk. A lot of abusers have alcoholic parents. That’s where many of the problems start. Nowadays young people have more money. Some of them are given money by their parents and the others take some temporary job. Young people cannot imagine the entertainment, discotheque without alcohol. Press, cinema and TV advertisements give the impression that people who drink are successful, make friends easily and enjoy themselves. Many young people aren’t interested in anything. They are bored and so they drink alcohol and even use drugs. Some teenagers claim that there is not a lot of to do except drinking.
