Alcohol Arshad Bhoyroo
My fellow citizens, I stand here today in order to express my views of the growing concern that is destroying our civilization at a global scale, alcohol. At a time when our community strives during tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace, alcohol has rapidly taken us amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. Alcohol has lead to some of the worst problems that our society has ever experience. For example, out of 1,000 adults, 47 are likely to be dependent on alcohol; this is double the amount of people who are dependent on illegal drugs. This is very worrying for our society as people will tend to be frightened of such disorderly community. Alcohol also causes health, social and economic problems and is blamed for causing death, disruption and damage. Although alcohol is seen as a socially acceptable drug, it is in fact an undermining substance which causes chaos and if not stopped, will continue to cause catastrophic outcomes. Alcohol is the complete antithesis to an entertaining drug as it tastes anything but soothing and most people take it knowing that they will lose their conscious self to this world. When a person is under the use of alcohol, it can be concluded that the devil himself is operating inside you. You are completely taken out of this world and cannot control yourself, so what other assumptions can we make? With the presence of alcohol in our community, we are in the midst of crisis which represented by the vast amount of problems that is experienced daily. Our nation is at war; with a very peculiar enemy which swims along in a glass of poison. This substance has damaged many lives; addicting people and making them crave for more. It is estimated that 90% of the UK population drink alcohol and it costs up to 25 billion pounds every year! We cannot hide how economy has been badly weakened by foolish people who incorporate with the trading of alcohol.
