• Description : When I was abroad it was quite comm...(more)on to see young people get drunk every party. I didn't like to drink, but I was afraid to be rejected by the group so I started to drink too. Soon, I started to feel I needed to drink in order to be part of the cool atmosphere in those crazy parties. I knew I was in a big trouble. However, one night I reached the conclusion it was senseless to drink to have fun, to try to be cool, to pretend to be someone else or ignore the problems. I could be myself without carrying any mask. So I decided to say ¨thanks but no thanks¨ to everybody who was trying to force me to drink. A great deal of people got really angry with that answer. They were amazed I could have fun with out drinking anything; they were surprised I could survive by my own. They tried hard to push me to drink, but they failed. Finding out more about alcoholism, I discovered the sad case of Jacqueline Saburrido a girl who suffered a car accident because of a drunk junior. It really made me think more deeply about the alcoholism problem. I felt good with myself I could stop it in time. It's completely stupid when the people drive and they are drunk! At last, I really respect the people who drink responsible and the persons who struggle for to not become alcoholic every day. But most of all, I respect the people who believe and respect themselves and never pretend to be someone else just to be liked. This video is dedicated to all those persons who do not drink alcohol; to all the people who make an effort for to not become alcoholic; to the persons who respect the people who do not drink; to the people who break the mold and they are not scare to break free and say ¨no¨ to the losers who put pressure on them in order to drink...and finally to Jacqueline: I know you will make a difference in this odd planet. I know I'm not the only one with these feelings inside. May the Lord bless you... http://www.helpjacqui.com (less)
