With Easy “Access” the Age of Alcohol Addiction Lowered from Forty to Twenty the Experts Called Out to the Super Convenience Shops to Set up a No-Sales Time
The research studies showed, that in recent decade, the rates of underage drinkers hiked up, and estimated that about 410,000 members of the younger generations had taken a drink. The experts suggested that the hours of sales at the 24-hour shops should be changed, to avoid the underage minors buying the alcohols, to damage their own health.
The head of the psychiatric department MacKay Memorial Hospital at Taipei, Fang stated that in the past two decades, the age of alcoholics had dropped, from the forties into the twenties, the youngest addict he’d tried to help was a teenage girl of seventeen, “Fang” (a false name), at age fifteen, because she was overcome by the assignments and couldn’t sleep, started using alcohol to help, and started drinking more and more, the school found out, and, got her to the treatment programs at the hospital.
Fang said, that most adolescents were drinking because of peer pressure, but because of how the society equates drinking with what’s fashionable, and out of curiosity, the younger generation wanted to try “the tastes of adulthood”, and once they became addicted, the impacts to their brains, would be, irreversible.
And so, the younger generations are getting drunk because they were curious, and, once they’d discovered the effects of numbing out, they get addicted to that feeling of being free from everything that’s bothering them, that’s why they get addicted, and besides, the teenage brain isn’t developed completely, so the effects of alcohol would be, even more, adverse to the younger generations than to adults.
