Politics
I just saw myself on TV appearing on the politics show. I was filmed a couple of days ago to be part of a news report about the effects of alcohol. The film was presented to the deputy Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon and she seemed to like some of my ideas. it was weird but I actually appreciated what she had to say in her response. Maybe I should be doing more to raise awareness of the real dangers of alcohol. Maybe I should be doing more to get involved. I think I may do a bit of research. I don’t think there would be anything wrong with visiting schools and teaching teenagers about the real long-term dangers of alcohol. We, as a country, have consumed alcohol without knowing the real long-term dangers For a very long time. we have been powerless to the effects, but I think that could all change with the direction the parliament is going in. For we all know that knowledge is power. I firmly believe that this is the way to change our drinking culture. I firmly believe that by teaching children in school, and equipping them with the knowledge to keep themselves safe, they will grow to see alcohol and a responsible manner. There is nothing wrong with alcohol when it is drunk responsibly, but unfortunately, as a nation, we are nowhere near responsible at the moment.
