The abuse of alcohol has been an uprising problem for teenagers particularly for the past few years. In the news people hear about drunk driving victims, alcohol poisoning, and even death all caused by some form of alcohol. Alcohol is looked on upon to be an escape goat for someone actions, but I believe that alcohol isn?t a problem in today?s society. The problem is the teenagers, or adults that aren?t strong enough to stop themselves.
The author for ?Dying for a Drink? was not using this article strictly for a literary exercise; he was trying to make a point.

A student must be prepared to make decisions that can affect her life and be certain about them.
Chris and Scott are responsible for their own deaths. They put themselves in bad positions, and made bad decisions that sadly lead to their death. Although the people they were around had a great influence but the situation, I believe they should not be held responsible for their deaths. Chris and Scott were the ones who consumed the alcohol so I don?t see the reason why anyone else should be punished.
These story and news articles are life-affirming. It is very sad to hear someone die over something so ridiculous like alcohol, but drinking is not just limited to the kid that doesn?t excel in school anymore. Everyone is drinking today from the kid that dropped out of school to the *****. While may people are stubborn about drinking. It is up to family and friends to assist them, in making the right decision, because in the world of drinking students are unfamiliar with the situation. This ends up in them making the wrong choice.
