2.4 Assessment Research: Alcohol

ALCOHOL

The effects of alcohol in our community, city, country and everywhere around the globe has cause many incidents to happen. Alcohol has been affected upon every young teenagers in New Zealand as well as Australia and many more countries. I have researched about alcohol and was able to find documentaries about alcohol have proved to me that among Pacific Islanders and Maori's alcohol is the most common drug that leads to death, arguments and all sorts. I witnessed a situation during a 21st birthday party at home, all my family and siblings friends came over to celebrate the my older brothers birthday. The situation in this is my brother having an argument with my sister that was unusual for them to argue but alcohol changed them into people they weren't. I believed that alcohol in our country affects young teenagers in New Zealand.

According to the New Zealand reports in 2010 there is a numerous number of young teenagers that have done crime due to alcohol and intoxication. Europeans in New Zealand go through the process of crime yet Pacific Islanders and Maori's have a higher rating of intoxication as well as teenager who are binge drinking. Shows that young teenagers in New Zealand are eager to drink alcohol due to the amount of family members that drink which causes to over think about wanting to drink alcohol and this where binge drinking comes in. Young teenagers in New Zealand like myself have been through the process of binge drinking, I was forced into drinking alcohol but never took it after a while. I sneaked in a couple of alcohol having no one to keep an eye on me. Due to the process of binge drinking i, myself have been affected by alcohol its not the parents or supervisors choice to give us alcohol, its our decision whether or not alcohol affects us. This article was useful because alcohol affects young teenagers in New Zealand which proves my hypothesis right. It is also said that binge drinking in New Zealand has a higher rating than other countries like Australia.

Another article i have researched on alcohol is a Youth Studies magazine. It states that the 'Social Analysis Project' gets analysis information that are accurate about drinking behavior in schools such as in New Zealand. They also communicate with young teenagers for instance Pacific Islanders; the truth with the goal of reducing pressures on students in New Zealand. Youth Studies also have found accurate information about binge drinking in schools which links back to the binge drinking that have been said on the previous paragraph. In 2011 it is said that there was 13% of students in schools that have done alcohol but this year in 2014 there is an estimation of 43% of students that are binge drinking on school grounds and this is a huge rating of young teenagers drinking alcohol.

Young Pacific Island teenagers including Maori's still have an increase of intoxication due to the amount of alcohol in the system as well as the increase of drinking alcohol in the past 3 years among every New Zealander. Pacific Islanders as well as New Zealanders are known for the worse drinkers throughout the globe because since alcohol is legal it is known as the biggest drug that people consume. Higher rating of alcohol in New Zealand will keep increasing as more and more teenagers get involve with common drugs like cannabis but with alcohol also. Young teenagers in New Zealand will consume more alcohol due to the following events; Birthday Parties, New Years, and Christmas. This is the three main events that will cause many incidents but with more alcohol consumed the more incidents occur.

To conclude Alcohol will cause severe incidents for instance car accidents and all sorts of incidents we all can think about. With alcohol legal and young teenagers able to consume more of it, this will cause many lives at risk reason being is that alcohol will change the way we act and the way we think but we don't know what alcohol will do to us as we consume more and more of it in our system. Alcohol does affect young teenagers in New Zealand and this proves my hypothesis right because alcohol affecting young teenagers lead to bad decisions which makes bad decisions lead to severe incidents.
