• Don't drink.

  Please, just don't drink. As the problems are revealed from my adopted brother's fetal alcohol syndrome, I have learned more and more that alcohol is nothing more than poison. Not only did alcohol make his birth father act in horrible abusive ways, but alcohol made his body develop improperly in the womb. His face is forever deformed. He will never have real, healthy teeth. School will be so hard for him. It is just sick.

  I'm not asking you not to drink and drive. I'm not asking you to stop drinking while your pregnant. I'm not asking you to not get drunk. I'm asking you never to drink alcohol ever.

  It is an addictive substance. Just one drink has the power to make you do something you regret. There is no such thing as responsible drinking. Even if nothing "bad" comes from your drink, you are spreading an idea to another whose life could be devastated by alcohol. You are financially supporting a company that advertises poison as a commercial high. Don't drink. Think of your liver. Think of the people watching you. Think of your future. Think of the public. Think of me. Think of my brother.

  There are so many better ways to relax. There are so many better ways to alter your mood. There are so many better ways to socialize. If you're short ideas, then let me know and I will give you ideas. Seriously, is there any good result of alcohol that could not be achieved from something healthier?

  Please don't drink.
