In this project where had to research a drug of their choice. We had to know the history, effects and usage of the drug. So firts we had to write a research paper about the drug, later we had to interview 3 people o more that consume the drug in how the drug influnze their life. The main part was to write a short story, in which the drugs had to take the role in the story. I chosse to research alcohol.
Imposible Night
$56 pesos for a Dos Equis Amber six pack, I always have to drink every friday and every saturday, my night is not complete if I don't have my six pack. On special occasio I buy whisky, Crow Royal or Buchanna's. We all left the store with at least one six pack, ready to start drinking before the party. We arrive to Andre's house, like always and play drinking games to get a little abient before the party, tell some jokes and talk about future plans.
Everyone is drinking, exept Hector and Steve, They are the designated drivers for tonight. After we finish our beers, is time for the real; thing. We arreive at the party, and like always there is this masive crowd of people outside the house where the party is. We stared to say hi to almost everyone in the party, that it is one of the unique things about teen life in Tijuana, that everybody knows everyone here. As we walk our way to the bar, more friends joins with us to party. Since we don't want to wait minutes making line for a drink, so we just grab beer from the coolers.
We continue drinking and find more and more people, some of them that I hace not seen in years, and now here drinking and partying. Like always Andre is with a different grild every 30 minutes, and later in a few minutes he will get drunk, he is always the first one to get drunk. Later Hector and I went to get the beer bong from his car to start the real party, we ll did it three times, three beers in less then a minute and more people joins us to do it. The Dj finally stop mixing reggeton and started mixing electro, is when the crazy part starts, cups full of whisky or tequila are flying all over the place, the chanpage bottles are open and every one is soaked in alcohol, and not dancing just jumping aroud like crazy and suddenly i started to fill dizzy and think stupid. Steve ask me if I was ok, I said -yes, Iam drunk, and need more beer!- Sadly the beer was gone like always, even my friends were there searching at the bottom of every cooler and nothing, so we have to go to the bar and odered whiskey on the rocks and tequila shots, there were lights and alot of people everywhere and out of nowhere I woke up in Andres house.
I was in Andre's room with John and Max, Itried to remeber hoe I got here, but nothing, so I went down stairs to drink water and saw Alan sleeping on the stairs, so I woke him up. and he started to panic because he did noo know where he was the second he opened his eyes, then I saw Jaime, Brando and Daniel on the couch in the living room. Almost everyone woke up with a hungover, exept Max, John and me, I rarely get a hungover. When we started started eating breakfast, like everymorning after a crazy night everyone has to have chilaquiles or tacos de birria, so Andre's mom made us chilaquiles, so we started talking about every stupid and funny thing we did yesterday. Everyone fell one time or more, also eberyone said stupid things, we did a disater at the party, Andre hook up with girls like always, but then John told me and Alan that we cheated on our girlfriends, but like alwwasy we thought that it was a joke, we didn't belive until Max show is his camera with the pictures and it was true.
Alan and I started talking about this incident in how it happen , we are defibitely not like Andre hooking up with like 6 girls in one night, this never happen to us, we are the most faithful guys in the whole group, we go to parties like last night every weekend and ometimes with our girlfriends. We hope that none or their friends or people that know her saw us, but that is imposible, if they took a picture a lot of people saw us. So we decided that we are going to keep it a secret and not tell our girlfriends, if they find out or something, well we are going to be screwed. We were stupid enogh to drink too much and do stupid stuff like that, we can not say that it was not out fault, beacuse it was. So I talk with my best friend Isabella which is also Abigais friend, my girlfriend, about this incedent, of course she was disappointed, but she owns me one, she did the same thing with his actual boyfriend which is one of my best friends, but I have to keep that secret, So at least I got that out of my chest.
This night I'm going to a concert with Abigail, she always wanted to see MSTRKRFT, and this will be my thrid time seeing them dj. So Isabella, Gorge and Abigail were at my house having a few drinkd before the concert, I was so nerves and weird with Abigail with waht happen, and she noticed that same things was different with me, so she ask me if something was wrong with me, and I said -no, just teird because las night was rough and a crazy party- and she belive me, she knows that how carzy a party can get I will never cheat on her, but sadly it happend and she doesn't know.
We arrive at he concert, all my friends were there maiking line, so we join with them. We entered, and start walking around to see who was here, and saw a lot of people that I know, I was afraid to see the girls that I hooked out with. There is a lot og people and the place were the corncert is , is quite big, so is going to be a little hard, but still I don't want to see that face which I only know her by picture. So we went to the bar to get our drinks, then we were heading back and suddenly saw that familiar face, her eyes were looking at me and the same with me, that was a really bad sign, what if she started taling to me about last night, so I erease that person from my minf and not worry about it.
Only 2 djs are left before MSTRKRFT, so we started to warm up and have a few beers before the party starts, So we are dancing and jumping around, pushing people, getting more beer and then I started to think of what happen last night and afraid of getting drunk, but i realized that I was with my grildfriend, if I was drunk I will be with her, so I continued and not worried about it, the bar was near us so we don't have to go to the main bar to get our drinks. But is was not safe enogh, I have to go to the bathroom, so I have to walk all the way there, so Abigail also came with me so If I saw that girl I', going to be screwd we were passin truogh all this people I was looking around everywhere to see if I saw her and nothing, maybe she was no in this area I just saw to many people. We arrive at the bathrooms safely.
I gor out first, obvious, while I was waiting for Abigail, I started to search for thet girld to check If she was around and nothing, so Abigail came out, so she atarted walking towards me and suddently the girl apears in front of me, I felt even worst when I saw the picture, then the girl says to me -last night was really fun, it was the best made out ever- Avigails face was the saddest and most angry face I hace saw in my life. She just walk her way out and took a taxi and left.
That was the last time I saw her, she is unreplacesable, I still miss her, and want to be with her again, but sadly things that I so every weekend are ruined, and now I do that almost every day, not partying, but drinking. The thjing that destroyed my relationship, is now my new relationship. Sometimes when I', drunk I get emotional, stupid or violent, but rarely. I always think that I will never get another girl like that, she is, well was my high school sweetheart.

I liked very much the story, because it´s a case in which we can identify ourselfs in this kind of situations.
This story shows a little part of the consecuences of alcohol, in this case, it was a painful experience of loosing your girlfriend for making up with someone else because of being drunk.
But there are more serious consecuences, like driving drunk, end in the hospital, fights, wake up in some place you don´t know or get adultarated drinks, etc.
In conclusion the exess of alcohol can lead to very serious consecuences.
Be aware of your way of drinking, and identify how usual and how much do yo drink, because you may have an addiction.
We don´t need alcohol to have a great time, we can have it having fun in our 5 senses.
If we are going to drink, we don´t drive. There are taxis.
