drunk minor crashes and injures 3 people


This was the headline of a newspaper in Punta Arenas, all because the irresponsibility of a young man, that thought that he could just go to a party and get back home by his own, I am sure his friends don't think it was a good decision now.

In the newspaper it says explicitly, "2 of the occupants were ejected through the wind-shield resulting with severe injuries, a third passenger, that was with her seatbelt on, resulted with minimum trauma"
I believe that what I have been saying on my last post was absolutely right, drinking and driving? bad idea, he was 17 years old, as far as I know, the two things that he did were illegal, drinking, and driving, that's when people notices why in Chile we have to forbid what in other countries is perfectly right, driving under 18 years old, with an 18 year old companion, a "responsible"companion, but people has another culture there in the USA, Canada, and other lots of European countries, they have another culture, very different that the one we have here "oh, look at him, he doesn't drink he is a *****" so he drinks, he drives, he crashes, and he and his friends almost die, I think he had a real tough night after that, because, just for a satart, he crashed the car.

Alcohol use

Do you know what a "drinking coma" is? Do you know how many people die because of it? it s your right yo be informed 

For the first question a "drinking coma" or a "drunk coma" is when you drink too much, or when you just drink more than your liver can handle, the liver transforms alcohol into sugar instantly before it enters the blood, when it does not and a single drop of alcohol gets into your blood system you enter to the coma state, when I say "coma" you could maybe think "well, it is probably just the name, it can't be so serious" but it is, a person can be up to three days in a hospital trying to wake up, and some ones don't wake up. How to prevent it? easy be aware of your teen's decisions, but most important, talk to him/her a solid parent-son relationship is very important, because if you have one you may just don't need it, most of the teenagers start drinking with friends, why? to relax, why do they need to relax, why are they stressed? because they feel no one listens to them, besides other problems that they could have at school of course, at home people need communication, if you don't have it, let me tell you to what are you exposing, about 14% of car crashes have as fatalities young drivers of 15 to 20 years old, of that same cipher, around about 30% of them were drunk, helping to make drinking the major cause of death among people under 21 years old. We are talking about a lot of people, a lot of people that could be saved from: an undesired pregnancy, fights, and several ways of dying, there are no "bad companies" everybody has a different way to express him/herself, and it is OK, but it has to be controlled. There are people that are just too shy, and need to forget about the weights of embarrassment, but as I say, if it gets out of control it needs to be suspended immediately, anyway, there are other forms of expression apart from drinking, because as it is the easiest one, it is also the most risky and the one that leaves less experience and less acculturating one, there are always other forms of expression, like music, art, writing, or even sports can help your son or daughter growing, and to keep them away from alcohol and drugs.
