The World Health Organization says that alcohol abuse is now the third-leading cause of death and disability in the world. Young women, aided by a culture that glamorizes “partying” and cocktail hours and associates alcohol with independence and success, are succumbing to abuse and addiction at ever-increasing rates.
A GRIEVING family are still without answers after the death of a 28-year-old man. Sean Robert Lamb never woke up after going to sleep at a friend’s house following a 14-hour drinking session on his birthday. But an inquest into his death failed to shed any light on how he died.
Friday night as I was with my girls looking for a move to make, we passed by an extremely unconscious girl on the side of the road with her friends.
She was so unconscious that when her friends picker her up, her neck would lean to the spine as if she didn’t have one. All her limbs “dead”, no…
Today is My Birthday, and Due to Alcohol, I’m Crying Instead
Today is my birthday. Instead of being happy, I am extremely sad. I actually woke up crying today. This is the 2nd year of celebrating my birthday without my younger sister. Kristine died on January 26, 2010 due to acute alcohol poisoning. She was only 28. Not a day goes by without me thinking of my sister. She was (and still is) one of the most important people in my entire life. Due to alcohol, I won’t be able to see her until the day that I finally leave this world.
I know that there are many people who think that they can’t have fun without drinking alcohol. Believe me, there is nothing wrong with drinking one or two drinks. However, people are constantly going to happy hours, house parties, and just lounging at home and drinking over four drinks, which is considered binge drinking. Binge drinking is no joke. It can quickly turn into a dangerous situation where you are slumped over without any awareness of what’s going on. You can either end up at the hospital getting your stomach pumped, have the wrong person find you, brain dead, or just gone leaving your family grieving for your loss. It’s not worth it. It really isn’t.
Please drink responsibly and think about what you will leave behind.
A cocktail of drugs and alcohol caused the death of a man who was on a night out with his brother to celebrate getting off drugs, a coroner ruled. Reading man Graham Lloyd, aged 41, died at his brother’s house in Audley Street
“Alcohol and impulsivity are a dangerous mix: People with current drinking problems and poor impulse control are more likely to die in the next 15 years, a new study suggests. However, they could get by with a little help from their friends: The study also found that a strong social support network buffers the toxic effects of impulsivity.”
Binge drinking is one of the impulsive things that alcoholics and non-alcoholics both do. We need to form a community, so that we can stop these deaths from happening.
No Alcohol Served at STU Party Due to Alcohol-Related Death
An annual party at St. Thomas University no longer includes alcohol, in response to the drinking related death of volleyball rookie Andrew Bartlett in October. Since 1988, students living in Harrington Hall would collect empty bottles throughout the year and use the money to purchase alcohol for a party held every April 6. However, after Bartlett’s death, which followed a volleyball party at the same residence, last fall, that tradition has changed. “We’re not providing alcohol to our residents because we care about their safety,” Bobby Gaudet, Harrington Hall student president, told CBC News.
