Answer 1

1. Your damaging your liver
2. Your killing braincells
3. You have a high risk of becoming an alcoholic
4. Alcohol is too expensive
5. You could get in an accident and kill someone when your drunk
6. Alcohol causes heartburn
7. Alcohol causes depression
8. If you are a woman and you drink you could damage your reproductive organs
9. Alcohol makes your breathe smell bad
10. Go look under any bridge or in an alleyway at the bums and see that that's where you could end up someday!

Answer 2

1&2--alcohol destroys the liver and pancreas... If you've never had pancreatitis, I can tell you that it hurts more than broken bones, migraines, oral surgery, anything I've ever had done. 3--It makes you look old before your time. 4--Even if ya don't have sex with strange men when drunk, any decent guy will probably not consider a serious relationship with you thinking that you do. 5--If you save the money you would've used to drink, within a year you could save enough for a whole new wardrobe or a vacation. 6--brain damage, just like your health and looks, your brain gets "older" faster, at 65, you'll be forgetful like someone much older 7--It decreases your ability to make clear decisions, a ride home you wouldn't have taken when sober could change your life forever, or end it. 8--the feeling you have about yourself the next day, pride instead of confusion, hangover and frustration. 9--I know at least ONCE, you've done something drunk that you really regretted the next day, doesn't happen near as often when you don't get drunk 10--it can cause diabetes, unplanned pregnancy, sex with ugly people, infestation by "critters", diseases, and plain old-fashioned "I did what?" the next day...11-Even if a person isn't alcoholic, it's easy to develop an emotional dependency that keeps you from really living your life to the fullest. I hope you'll take at least some of this seriously. Alcohol isn't Satan, but it can get pretty close if it's out of control. Take care, hope the hangover goes away quickly. :-)

Answer 3

You want 10 reasons for giving up drink, no problem!


1. It costs a fortune
2. Too much of it damages your Liver
3. It can damage your brain also, certainly destroys your memory
4. When you are drunk, you are a pain in the ar$e
5. Drink is extremely fattening
6. If you are an aggressive drunk, you will be inflicting hell on family members, Partners, Husbands or whoever else may live with you.
7. The embarassment of your neighbours seeing you stagger up the street and possibly spewing up.
8. The day after will be a lost day because you can't focus on anything
9. Drink may give the illusion of helping you in times of trouble or stress but in fact its making you less ready to cope when you sober up. You can get blitzed to forget, but it's still there when you sober up!
10. Drink is a depressant, alcoholics are usually more depressed and their depressions are normally blacker than if they wern't on the drink

So there you are, 10 reasons, you may not be an alcoholic, if so then think on about what I've said. But if you have a drink dependancy, I really would suggest you get down to your Doctors ASAP and tell them, they should be able to help.

Alcohol is also a drug that depressed the brain. It can cause severe depression.

When extrememly drunk, you have no control over your actions because of this drinkers are more likely to have casual sex that leads to unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.

Alcohol is a poison that can cause irreversible damage to the liver, which labours to remove it from the body

Heavy drinking is blamed for up to 33,000 deaths a year in the UK

Alcohol is a diuretic, which makes you wee more. In fact, you lose far more water in your urine than you are taking in the drink itself. Dehydration causes the brain to shrink away from the skull slightly. This triggers pain sensors on the outside surface of your brain

Only 20% of the alcohol you swallow is absorbed by the stomach

When you consume alcohol, you lose more water in your urine
than you take in the drink itself

You won't develop a grouchy attitude if you drink in moderation and you will less likely become dependant on alcohol

You will save money, look better and feel better because you aren't poisoning your body
