ABOUT THE PROJECT

       Alcohol is nowadays the problem number one regarding consumption of drugs. Although alcohol initially appeared in the practical use this has changed subsequently. People began to try different types of alcohol and consumption of alcoholic beverages has become a part of European culture.
       A few glasses of beer or a glass of wine occasionally tasted after dinners or "hardening" will not cause any harm to healthy adults.
       The statement of Paracelsus: "All things are poisons and nothing is without poison, only the dose makes a thing not poison" is also valid for alcohol. Consumed initially for curiosity or teribilism, consuming alcohol regularly and in large quantities can create dependency.
       Consumption of alcohol may be considered a drug. Why? For the simple fact that produces physical and psychological dependence. A consumer of alcohol in a excessively way can’t stop without suffering poor physical and mental conditions: tremor, vomiting, fear,sweating... All these are caused by the fact that, once addicted to alcohol, you can’t function without it. Alcohol dependent persons need alcohol to restore their shape. They consider alcohol a quick and simple way by which they can change their status, emotions and feelings. According to specialists, the causes of alcoholism are caused by mental states that the individual passes at a time. The most frequently invoked is the fear of something. At this they add: anger, frustration, joy, loneliness, aggression, stress, lack of courage ...
       Dependence on alcohol and alcoholism develops in time. There were outlined several situations that have led to the establishment stages of alcohol dependence.

1. First occurred curiosity. Alcohol was tried once, then several times.
2. Alcohol was consumed occasionally in society, at parties or between friends, then it became a habit.
3. Alcohol was consumed regulary.
4. Alcohol was consumed in order to reduce the psychological or emotional discomfort.
       Alcoholism is a disease, not a flaw. It is a progressive, incurable, physical, mental and spiritual, disease, marked by the obsession to drink, despite the evil physical product of alcohol consumption. It is a disease of denial. ( "I am not an alcoholic!" - Despite all the records). Alcoholism as a disease doesn’t make any discrimination and doesn’t take account of age, gender, culture, education, religion, social origin or living environment.
       Since it is a theme so common among those of our age, we considered that a point of view of adolescents about alcohol consumption should be interesting. We talked to our classmates and friends that our if they struggle against excessive consumption of alcohol. After the presentations made in our school and community, we have received positive reactions from those around us.
        So, we decided that we should know more about this thing. People talk so much about alcohol consumption, that this topic is now treated with indifference and people no longer inform about the risks. After we gathered enough material and learned new and interesting things we have become more determined that it is very important to us and to expose our point of view. To emphasize the importance of this issue we have comprised questionnaires on which our colleagues have responded, and on this basis we constructed diagrams that show the seriousness of this problem. There is not only a matter of our age, or of members of our community, but is a problem of all mankind. Alcohol makes victims everywhere, in all countries of the world, irrespective of the degree of development of the country. Therefore we believe that this problem is not specific to a particular community, but everyone should be interested. Through our project we want to aware those around us, especially those of our age, about the risks of alcohol consumption.
Alcohol        Worrying is that alcohol dependence is more prevalent among teenagers who, because of teribilism of desperation, cannot be saved anymore from the trap of "liquid drugs".
       We hope that the project we initiated will contribute by reducing the number of consumers of alcohol in any corner of the world, regardless of their age. It is an issue that concerns us ALL not just SOME.
