Alcohol is created when grains, fruits or vegetables are fermented. Fermentation is

process that may use bacteria and change the sugar foods into alcohol. Fermentation has
produces many necessary items just like cheese medication. If alcohol is a natural product, why
do teens need to concern in drinking alcohol? When people drink alcohol it may absorb the
blood streams and the first affect is nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) of which
controls the function of the body,(Nemours). Alcohol is a very powerful, addictive drug that is
damaging or high doses. People drink alcohol is social activity- most of this is with friends.
Because alcohol can make them loosen up and freedom. Especially for the people who have a
problem they use drinking alcohol to forgot the pain or problem. But drinking everyday may
lead to problems. For teens, alcohol can be very harmful and it illegal, (LCC).
