If I were asked to give any advice to a young and enthusiastic drinker, I would suggest he ask himself the following questions regularly:-
Why do you drink so much? ("Because its fun" is not a permissible answer. It is the biggest lie.)
What are you scared of that becomes easier when you drink, or that you do not wish to think about?
Are you proud of yourself that you are not able to face these fears in a way that you know they have to be faced?
We have fears; this is normal. We all hide from our fears; that is normal. Using drink or any other substance will not remove the fear. The only way is to face it!
