In small quantities, alcohol can be harmless, but if a large amount is consumed in any one time, such as binge drinking, it can even lead to fatality. There is a teenage binge-drinking culture in this society, and although many people may just view it as harmless drunken fun, the consequences of doing so will not become apparent for many years to come, and then the problems can become irreversible.
Whilst drunk, people can become very vulnerable, and many people are raped, drugged or beaten-up. Alcohol can give you an added confidence and can make you do things that you would not normally do. It is an addictive drug and can lead to liver disease and eventually death.
For Buddhists, drinking alcohol is the worst possible thing to do, because you lose control of your body and mind and can end up committing many sins which you may not have done if you were not under the influence.
