Answer 1

3 reasons for drinking alcohol even when they know it's dangerous-

1. Peer pressure- This is common among teenagers. Teenagers find it cool to drink alcohol with friends as their other friends encourage them to do so. Teenagers often make this misconception that drinking in social events represents their high-class social status.

2. Influence of social media and boredom- Teenagers again get highly influenced by the movies, web content and think that drinking and smoking are quite normal and completes the normal teenage experience. They are also very enthusiastic about trying new things and try alcohol out of their boredom.

3. Finding escape- people turn to alcohol for venting out their frustration when they think that their confidants can't understand them. Alcohol abuse makes them emotionally happy for some time and makes them forget their stress.

3 things that can be done to discourage them-

1. Spreading awareness- Spreading awareness among teenagers with the help of social media itself and highlighting visuals of their side-effects may help curb alcohol abuse.

2. Get rid of temptations- We can ask our companions to get rid of temptations like keeping alcohol bottles at home, arranging alcohol at parties, and social events.

3. Arranging activities like skit, plays, dramas- Arranging these enlightening activities in schools and colleges often educate the student about the side-effects in a most engaging way and also prevent them to try alcohol out of boredom as they are already occupied with other things.
