can cause to people. For
example, a woman
called Victoria White has
drank heavily seen she
was a teenager and that

failure. Also, it isnt the
first time she been sent
to an hospital because of
drinking, in fact, five
years earlier she had the
same problem. The only
difference is that this
time she has a major
possibility of dying. A
doctor said, nine million
people are affected by
the harm alcohol

This website explains
about the fact of the risk

people. For example,
statistics shows that

wine and 4% of a pint of
lager can affect a

alcohol does to the
human body. For
example, three glasses

breathe in his or her own
vomit and suffocate if he
