Answer by ADREANNA P
There are a lot of consequences that can befall alcoholics who don’t get themselves treated for their alcoholism and the following are just some of them.
* They are more prone to engaging in sexual activities and have unprotected sex than teens who don’t drink. This puts them at a higher risk for getting HIV, AIDS, and other sexually-transmitted diseases.
* Those who drink are more likely to have problems regarding their conduct and school work.
* Teens who drink are more likely to develop alcohol dependence.
* Death or injuries because of alcohol-related suicide and homicide.
* This could lead to having dual diagnosis.
* Death or injuries because of alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes.
* They are also more likely to be victims of violent crimes like assault, robbery, and rape.

liver cancer, dependency, liver failure, damaged excretory system (kidney, uruter etc) emotional problems
Well, the main problem could be to die
Ultimately, if not treated, the teen will most likely end up homeless. Alcohol affects your ability to concentrate so he wouldnt get far in school, work, or everyday life for that matter.
Imagine not getting treated, you would most likely not be able to get a job, resort to theft to pay your habit, steal money from friends and family, etc. its a vicious cycle that keeps rolling and rolling. And treatment is INeffective unless that person WANTS to break the cycle. Good luck with your paper. A picture in your mind of a homeless man on the street should help.
If they get caught they will get a ticket and thats if they dont end up in jail.
Adreanna covered quite a lot of problems. Others would be physical and psychological. Liver and kidney problems and depression.
Death, suicide, depression, jail time, driver’s license suspension, loss of friends, parents getting in trouble for underage drinking, car accident/damage/injury, etc.
Same as an adult. I call them the three “in’s”:
INcarcerated. (or IN jail.)
INsanity.
IN the ground.
A life is a terrible thing to waste on alcohol. Make sure all your classmates hear it loud and clear!
He will become an adult alcoholic who will most likely destroy his own life and that of others close to him. If you’re doing a paper, try creating a brief scenario about an imaginary person and the catastrophes he/she encounters as a drunk. Fact based.
