Andreea
-Why did you start drinking alcohol?
Alexandra
- I started drinking alcohol when I was 14, because my boyfriend
left me. I loved him very much and I didn't want to accept that he
no longer exists in my life. I wanted to forget him and I wanted the
pain to go away, too, so I started to drink. Alcohol helped me to
forget him and after I forgot him the alcohol became a necessity
for me.

healthier lungs and it forces you to stop smoking and drinking
which cause low performance.
