Recreational drugs, more commonly referred simply as drugs,
are natural or chemical substances that al-ter peoples normal state of mind while producing an intoxicating feeling. Since drugs hit areas of the brain that are critical to judgment, decision-making, memory and behaviour control, they can be very dangerous and undermine the users physical and mental balance, producing disruptive effects on his/her health and personality. Some types of drugs are more dangerous than others because they cause addiction in the user. Although the initial decision to take drugs is usually voluntary, as time passes it becomes more and more difficult to control the need to use the drug, and such a desire ends up being more important than normal things such as family or work.
ALCOHOL ABUSE
USA, have a very high rate of people addicted to al-cohol use.
The reasons for alcohol abuse often lie in the users private life: many people, especially young, drink alcohol because it is a way to overcome ones insecurities and foster social relations. Alcohol interferes with the way brain normally works, and alcohol abuse has harmful consequences on the us-s health. And alcohol, as it happens with different types of drugs, can become an addiction. Like drug consumption, alcohol addiction is a problem for the users health and for the social consequences of his/ her behaviour when under the intoxicating effects of the substance.
