Should have thought to mention it earlier, as some may know, binge drinking is even more established here than anywhere else - or so it seems.
I've known two who damaged their bodies so badly from alcohol abuse that they were risking death if they did it again as they were so badly compromised. One was a guy just turned twenty and one a girl even younger - I expect there are others I've known but were unaware of.

Yeah, you lot must have the same problem we do. Record numbers of under 30s and even under 25s admitted to hospital for liver disease due to binge drinking.

Most people just get completely smashed when ever they are out and not at work. The amount of money the NHS wastes on fixing binge drinkers bodies must be sickening.

I don't understand what the appeal is with alcohol that you can get into that kind of state with it so fast and so young. I have never really found it addictive or moreish or anything like that. It seems to have quite the opposite effect on some people. They love it and cant stop binging.

I find the side effects of alcohol are probably some of the worst i have ever encountered from any drug what so ever, so much so it just is not worth or enjoyable to become addicted to. lol
