Alcohol and other drugs....

Today's challenge obliges me to write about my views on drugs and alcohol.

Well, drugs are actually supposed to be beneficial to us as they were originally manufactured to alleviate our pains and suffering when we get sick, to extend our lives and to promote our well-being.




As for alcohol, it is one of the families under organic compounds, and the most common alcohols are methanol, ethanol, propanol and butanol. Alcohols are supposed to be used as disinfectants and antiseptics, although their use as antiseptics is not much encouraged because of the painful sensation they give. There are a lot of other uses of alcohols, (like as fuel, as solvent, in perfume, in food, etc.) but I'm not gonna discuss them all.



Nevertheless, the abuse of both drugs and alcohol brings about harmful effects not only on the individual abusing it/them, but also on those he/she surrounds. Therefore, I am against improper and abusive use of these materials, which are supposed to be used in an advantageous manner. It is alright to drink alcoholic beverages every now and then, I mean, wine is good for the heart, but, anything in excess is deadly. And that's what everyone should keep in mind.
