DRUGS: BIG BOTTLE.

Hello, today I’m going to talk about one of the most consumed drugs in our society. Many people accompany their social activities with alcohol and it’s accepted as a pleasant support of relationships. This perception of alcohol has helped to extend their use, not only among adults but also among youth and teenagers, who start very early ages.

The main component of alcoholic drinks is ethanol, this is a central nervous system depressant and gradually numbs the brain and sensory functions.

It is sometimes mistaken for a stimulant because it initially produces euphoria and behavioral disinhibition. This is because that first affects the brain centers responsible for the self control, which leads to get carried away by the effects of the consumption of the substance.

Alcoholic drinks can be classified into two groups according to the preparation process: fermented drinks and distilled drinks.

Now, I’m going to talk about the big bottle in young people. The big bottle is group of people, generally young, that basically get together to drink alcohol. Each person puts some money in towards the drinks, they buy the alcohol and go somewhere to drink, laugh, and have fun.

They can be any size, from a couple of people to huge city wide events. Big bottle first started because of the exorbitant price of alcohol in bars and discos. It´s common to have a botellón before going out partying.

But the big bottle has some problems too. In the first place, neighbours living in the city centres complain because they cannot sleep due to the noise created and because they find their area full of rubbish the morning after.

The second problem is that under aged teenagers have access to alcohol because there is not anyone in the streets controlling what they drink.

Another big problem is that the streets are packed with drunk teenagers and this can bring about fights and acts of vandalism, which can, again, affect neighbours.

In my opinion, I think that the big bottle wouldn’t be a problem if young people controlled themselves drinking, without having so many problems with fights, vandalism, etc.

ADDICTIONS

ADDICTIONS

Today I'm going to talk about different types of addictions.

I'm going to start with the shopping addiction. First I want to say that not everybody who likes shopping and fashion is addicted to it. You're only addicted if you don't control anymore what you're buying. For example the people who buy a lot of things in the internet and they don't know anymore what they ordered and how much money they spent. Shopping addicted people have often not enough money to buy normal stuff like food or things that you really need to live. So keep calm because only because you love shopping you're not addicted.

   

The next addiction I'm going to talk about is the food addiction. When somebody is addicted to eating he/she thinks all the time about food and eating. This addiction is as dangerous for your body as anorexia, you can also die. The people who have this illness often don't feel when they have eaten enough.

 


The third addiction is the computer addiction and the last is the addiction to mobile phones. I put them together because I think that they are quite the same.

The computer addiction is when you are sitting in front of your computer all day long, a conclusion of this is often that you don't have friends because you're spending all your time in playing computer games. These people often get very aggressive if they lose in their games.

            

The people who are addicted to their mobile phones are spending all their time with their mobile phones and they often have no real friends, they don't go out and they sometimes have more than one mobile phone which they are using almost 24 hours a day.

          

If small kids like this boy on the picture are using mobile phones it can be the start of an addiction because they grow up with it and it's normal for them to use their mobile phones all the time.
