Drinking problem
This video shows that overdrinking can make fights between friends and others. In general drinking can get you into many problems besides losing friends. This video reminds me of a story that my friend had with his four other friends who split because of drinking.
There were five guys who went to a foreign country to study abroad, Franck, John, Cole, Mike, and Nick. Every one of them has his own place. Franck was the youngest between them who was underage and they always gather in his place, he was generous to everyone although, he was a moody guy especially when it comes to girls. He drinks too much and doesn’t take much of responsibility. John was a nice guy every one likes him he doesn’t talk much, doesn’t smoke, and doesn’t drink. All of them respect him and they never say no to him. The problem with him is that he never takes things seriously. Cole was nice and smart guy, however, he smokes and drinks too much and his doctor asked him many time to quit smoking and drinking, but he never listen. He has a girlfriend back home and he was trying to be loyal to her, but whenever he drinks he doesn’t mind cheating on her. Mike was a married man who left his wife back home and he was cool guy. The problem with Mike is that he loves to drink and to smoke at all time; he can’t survive without smoking and drinking. Nick was married too; he was the oldest and the best between the five. All thought he drinks and smoke rarely, every one respects him because he was the reason for our gathering. And because of that they gave him a nickname which is “The God Father.”
One day Franck, Cole, and John went to a nightclub. Franck got real drunk that night and started to talk to every girl in the club. While he was bothering the girl talking how beautiful she was, her boyfriend came from behind Franck and hit him in his head. Franck turned around, thinking that his friends were joking with him; the girls’ boyfriend hit Franck in his face, Franck fall down and started to call his friends. Cole who was drunk too came and kicked the guy’s ass. The bodyguard came and started to break up the fight. He kicked every one who involved in the fight out even the girl. After Franck, Cole, and John were kicked from the club they went to the bar where Mike and Nick were sitting. They notice that they were involved in a fight because of the marks in their face. Franck has a little pain around his eyes so he went home. Cole had his finger broken so Nick took him to the hospital. The next day, Nick who was the oldest person gathered all of them in Franck’s house and started to give them advices because of what happened the day before. He told them that they should’ve not got into the fight, they left home because they want to go to school not for fighting. Nick made them promise that they would never get into a fight again. However, after a month Cole and Franck got really drunk and they were driving and they had accident. The police came and drag them to the police station and they had to go to jail and then they had to leave the country.
Finally, drinking could be good if people know the limit for it. My friends had so many problems because they never drink responsibly. They don’t get together anymore, they lost there friendship, and some of them left the country without finishing. So I encourage myself and people who see this add to dinking responsibly because if you don’t you might harm yourself and other people and end up like my fiends.
