Alcohol is a powerful, addictive drug with the capacity to transform a personality in an instant. The saying “First a person takes a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes the person” is so true
Drink is a waste of health. Alcohol/ethanol and its associate acetaldehyde is very damaging to all vital elements of the body and mind
Drink is a waste of time. Drinking over time ends up with the person in a state of dependence, spending more and more time drinking and intoxicated. The mind and body are depressed for long periods
Drink is a waste of money. Hundreds of euros or pounds in a week, thousands in a year, hundreds of thousands over many years
Drink is a waste of life. Alcohol is a toxic drug that kills cells, the very building blocks of life
