Generation "can of beer.

"
Dr. Wagner Paulon
2010

Research has shown that almost all young people drink large amounts of
alcohol especially beer, something over 70% between 15 and 17 years. The
amazing thing is that many people want, on your own, get drunk. Alcoholic it
became fashionable among young did not differ in social class.

Wherever you go, no matter the hour, day, year, location, or whether it is day
or night, there are lot of young people with the infamous "can of beer in his
hand.

The bars in the vicinity of schools, colleges and universities are filled with
drunken students and others on the way, also bearing the famous "can of
beer."

Do these people not realize that their behavior to bear the ill-fated "latrinha
of celveja" in any event whether festive, religious, social or school,
(birthdays, weddings, school meetings to try to study and so on.) Is ridiculous
and extremely aggressive to society? People who do so are grounds for
teasing and playing the role of "court jesters," do not realize how much harm
they are doing against their decency and character.

The attitude to bear constantly "can of beer in hand is a major cause of the
destruction of dignity, self-respect, responsibility, honesty, and reliability to
the next. You can not trust a person who constantly meets "can of beer in
hand, as quickly deduce that the person is drunk frequently.

It even seems that beer and its tin are synonymous with culture, education,
dignity, respect, school, study, future, family, children, finally, "God
Almighty".

Young people under the influence of alcohol are allocated in a vulnerable


position (weakened, battered, low consciousness), are subject to attacks and
acts of violence and vandalism.

Researchers say the seventy percent (70%) of young people aged 15 to 17


years who drink, one out of five usually eat more than ten drinks or cans of
beer, and more than 25% drink more than seven drinks or cans of beer. Close
to 28% of high school students are intoxicated.

Young people forget or ignore that to get drunk can often come sooner or
later, to make sequels that affect the brain, behavior, the psyche, the liver,
stomach, and arguably the sexual potency.
There is great number of adolescents and adults claiming flatly that alcohol is
not a drug, but are sadly mistaken, alcohol is a drug and leads to death.

Immoderate consumption of alcoholic beverages is also responsible for the


rise of teenage pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, increased rates of
rape, sexual assault, car accidents and violent deaths misplaced.

Through the endless media outlets are bombarded every day, hour and
minute by promotional materials that promote alcoholic beverages principally
beer with enthusiasm, fervor, passion, power, praise, enthusiasm and
dedication, without however presenting it as a product virtually dangerous to
health.

It is understandable, then, that young people see alcohol as a passport to joy,


happiness, success, achievement, a way to relax, have fun, to love better, to
relate and be superman.

It is up to parents, school, church, family, state and society ensure that the
youth receive training and information wise, honest and mostly right on the
harmful effects of alcoholic drinks consumed wildly and without any limit
