Question by Xander B: HELP!!! My teen friend is on her way to become an alcoholic?
My only friend in the world is going through severe depression and uses alcohol to make her feel better I need serious advice on how to get her help. I will try to get her parents to help but her mom is very emotionaly neglectful always threatening her daughter with kicking her out of the house and her dad is a good father but a bit of a pushover towards his wife. I also am thinking of taking her to her HS counselour about her problems but I’m worried of what the conseqences could be she 17 so there she can still be sent to away to a foster home and become a ward of the state. She has asked me to help her so I’m not doing this against her will. Please please I truly need help and advise.

Question by stripedbook: what makes some people become full blown alcoholics?
I’m talking about people who shake and sweat if they don’t have their daily drinks. Why and how does this happen? can it happen to anyone at anytime? How can I avoid that. I like drinking, on the weekend, I’v been doing it for 20 years, but I just met a man tonight (in a hospital) who drank on weekends until his kids moved out of the house, and then he started drinking everynight, and then when he retired he drank every day AND night, and now he’s in the hospital suffering from alcoholism withdrawals.

Answer by MyMarriageRocks
I think becoming an alcoholic can be done by anybody. But I think some people have a much higher risk of becoming addicted. Not everyone who takes a drink becomes an alcoholic. Some people just have that as their weakness. Such as if there dad was one and the child saw him drinking and stumbling around then there is a good chance that he or she will become one as well. But also sometimes the person had a good upbringing and their parents never drank but the person becomes one anyways. It’s a very complex, confusing, frustarating thing. If some thing really tragic happens or someone close to them dies that can trigger the person to use alchol as a coping mechanism. Even though that doesn’t work and it makes things so much worse. My Father is an alcoholic has been for so long and his dad was an alcholic too (my g-pa) My brother and I started going down the road of drinking and then my brother realized he had to quit and he did. And was not addicted. I on the other hand became addicted to drugs (pain pills) and I was drinking pretty heavily for about 6months straight. I did quit and never had any withdrawls from the drinking. But my dad does if he tries to quit. So go figure ya know?? I do think it can happen to anyone at anytime but like I said some ppl are just more prone to it than others. Why it happens various reasons like I said…and how I suppose the body just gets so used to having that poison in its system that when the drinker quits the body just withdrawls..It is confusing I know. If you have just been drinking on the weekends for 20 years and you are not addicted then I say your chances are pretty slim. Unless something tragic or someone really close to you would pass then I hope you don’t use alcohol as a way to cope. Then you could very well end up an alcoholic. But that is doubtful. I don’t think there is anything wrong with you drinking on the weekends as long as you are responsible. Ok I hope I helped…I rambled on a lot Sorry about that…

If David Cameron had pictures/videos of him doing cannabis and cocaine, would he have been able to become PM?

Question by James O: If David Cameron had pictures/videos of him doing cannabis and cocaine, would he have been able to become PM?
David Cameron has ‘tacitly admitted’ to taking cannabis and cocaine in his youth, and says that everyone is allowed to ‘err and stray’ at some point in their life. I was wondering whether, in your opinion, if visual evidence of him doing these drugs was printed by a newspaper, would that have ruined his career?
I’m talking about actual visual evidence, such as a picture or a video; the issue at hand is whether this would make it worse – by virtue of it being more explicit – than a written admission. And also I do mean when he was young.

Answer by J B
Maybe. Obama wrote in his autobiography (assuming he actually wrote it, which is doubtful) that he used to do drugs, with a homosexual adult friend, no less…and look, he was “elected” president.

Increase in “sex addiction”- will we seen this become more common in teens?

by Joel Carela Photography

Question by <3: Increase in “sex addiction”- will we seen this become more common in teens?
In my opinion, sex addiction awareness has grown lately. I have always heard of the occasional “sex addict” and knew it was a legit addiction, however, with media influences lately like celebrities and TV shows, sex addiction has become more known by general people including teens, parents… etc.

Do you think teenagers who are sex addicts will become more known as well? Or would we say that teens who show a possible addiction to sex are still just curious?

Best answer:

Answer by most.peculiar.mama
I think more will step forward, but unfortunately that has a drawback. Many (teens and adults) will use it as a cop-out now that it is recognized as a legit disorder and ruin it for the ones who are having real problems.

Are children of alcoholic’s going to become alcoholic’s?

admin — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:21:37 +0000

Question by freedom: Are children of alcoholic’s going to become alcoholic’s?
I drink almost everyday, and my father died from drinking. Is it a family thing, my sister drinks a lot too but my brothers don’t.

Best answer:

Answer by Chef Orville
It depends on the family situation. If children see their parents drinking, they’re going to assume that it’s okay to drink. The parents must tell their children that it’s wrong. Or they could just not drink in front of the kids.

Q&A: Did You Ever Get the Feeling When You Were a Teen that You Would Grow Up to Become an Alcoholic?

admin — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:19:04 +0000

Question by Graham: Did You Ever Get the Feeling When You Were a Teen that You Would Grow Up to Become an Alcoholic?
I’m a teenager and I drink occasionally, but I keep thinking once I reach the legal drinking age, I’ll turn into a drunk. Now when I mean occasionally, I mean I’ll get drunk like once ever two weeks, which is pretty good compared to most kids my age. When you were a teenager, did you ever get this feeling? How did it work out for you? Thanks for the help.

If alcoholism is genetic, why do some children of alcoholics become alcoholics while others do not?

Best answer:

Answer by intel_knight
It is both nature and nurture.

Genes only make it easier get addicted, but willpower or right kind of company will keep you from drinking.

I mean child of Michael Jordan is likely to be tall, but it does not mean he will become a basketball player like his dad.
