Liver failure among young people is soaring as a consequence of binge drinking. But are teenagers aware of the dangers of drinking? My niece Stacey passed away on May 22nd aged 24. Whilst Stacey was in hospital Channel 4 approached her to take part in a news report/ mini-documentary about alcohol and the affects it is having on youngsters today. Staceys family (and hopefully the other families involved) want as many people to see this as possible to get the message across to other children and parents. We do not have enough help and support out there for these young people and more needs to be done, we have an epidemic on the horizon. We hope this helps at least one youngster or family. Please be aware that there are images that some may find upsetting or disturbing. Many Thanks for watching. To view the full unedited version with the studio Q & A please visit Channel 4 news. This was originally broadcast as part of the evening Channel4 news bulletin on 25th June 2008. Our thanks go out to Film-maker/journalist Kate Taunton, Channel4 and Minnow Films ‘www.minnowfilms.co.uk

Holy shit I will probably end up the same way as as soon as I have a drink it turns into a week long session getting progressively worse until I end up on a litre of vodka a day, it’s only when I get so sick I cant physically drink any more I stop.
Sad most things were I live involve alcohol. BROKEN BRITAIN
People get pissed to forget their miserable existences in this shithole of a country.Nothing to look forward to,no good jobs,all industry’s gone and the country is just a big cesspit.These people with liver damage are lucky.I ended up with chronic pancreatitis,I drank but knowhere near as bad as this lot.My digestive tract is destroyed and spend everyday in pain and sick.Needless to say I can no longer drink,eating causes pain and nausea/diarreoha.This started when I was 21 now 34 and worse.
It is one big bull shit of hypocrisy and illogical law driven by selfish greedy people who run the corporations of the western countries.

im glad i dont drink:)
Alcohol abuse can lead to alcoholism, however not everyone faces the physical damage that’s talked about in this video. As an active “high” bottom alcoholic who didn’t lose everything and only drank once or twice a week, but never to the point of passing out, I wasn’t devastated physically. I was however, sick and tired of being sick and tired, and always full of regrets for not being with my wife and kids more. I enjoy over 14 year of sobriety today and call myself a “recovered” alcoholic.
Alcohol is a deadly drug, like cocaine and heroin. It shouldn’t be illegal because of personal freedom, but it shouldn’t be encouraged or celebrated either.
Because alcohol binging is more of a “white” problem, it is OK. if blacks started binging at the same rate or more than whites, Congress would be quick to pass a law to jail them. They did the same with cocaine even though it is not a popular drug.
GET EVEN DRUNKERAR! WHAT A FATASS
They say weed manifests paranioa, and reduced self determination, I have smoked alot of weed but don’t smoke weed, in my travels I have found that weed doesnt cause these problems, rather more paranoid losers smoke weed than not, that said drinking is the shit the cause and soulution to all life’s problems, fuck pot (I only smoke it when Im drunk) =]
he wasnt a prophet he was a manic psycopath
i was a former alcoholic gave up 2 years ago because Prophet Muhammad warned all nations and tribes about the harm of drinking alcohol and its consequences 1,400 years ago,, he said ”
drinking alcohol is not solution to your problems rather drinking alcohol is a problem in itself”.
We are living in the last days. Expect things to get worse.
2 Timothy1-4
“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, dispisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God
alcohol is killing me. but i need it
muhammed? wtf does he know?
Binge Drinking will destroy our nation, we see young people fighting in our streets everyday
we see hospital full of people with alcohol related illness, we also see families breaking apart. so my fellow Brits please STOP IT.
Prophet Muhammad said, drinking alcohol has more harm then pleasure, he also said drinking alcohol is not solution to your problems rather drinking alcohol is a problem in itself.
most people drink cuz its legal. If weed became legal, lots of people would cut back on alcohol. Personally, i like both but weed is better cuz no hangover or puking haha.
@megatroll In the words of Bob Marley: “Herb is a conciousness. Alcohol just get you drunk.” :-)
I haven’t used weed for years and years, but having worked along side psychiatric nurses and general nurses then I am of the belief that alcohol is much more detrimental to someone’s health than weed will ever be.
Yes, you’re right. And I agree with you bro.
But you should keep in mind that it is scientifically proven that long term cannabis abuse will only numb your brain cells. That means they will regenerate once you stopped smoking for a period of time, while acohol permanently destroys them.
Another fascinating fact is that cannabis shows signs of actually protecting your nerv functions, preventing Alzheimer and other brain related deseases who appear with forthcoming age. :D
its a sick society, they sell u cigarettes then they put 100 of adverst against cigarettes, on the packet of cigarettes they write: it kills u and then they sell it.. same thing with alcohol.
many of my friends told me that cannabis opens ur mind, and makes u realize what is important in life. I have found the correct way of life without using and taking cannabis. Cannabis is just a shortcut to make u realize what is important in life. I got there without using cannabis.
well yea but u cantjustify using cannabis by saying alcohol which is worse is legal… both cannabis and alcohol are very dangerous. alcohol makes boys violent, drive dangerously and girls become sluts, and it fucks ur liver ecccc cannabis fucks up ur brain, and creates damage. I would, also if i dont smoke and never tried, legalize marijuana because cigarettes and alcohol which are as or maybe more dangerous are legal.. but that is jst because the government earns on the money from cigarettes.
@djzarus
Look friend, it’s not that I’m encouraging people to consume cannabis here. ;)
I’m just of the opinion that alcohol in comparison to marijuana is a much more harmful substance, yet ironically legal because it creates money!
I’ve witnessed alcohol bringing out the worst in people. While marijuana enhances your mind and can even make you realize what’s really iportant in life.
At least most adult cannabis users are civilized, relaxed people and won’t harm others.
Peace.
@darkspy666
Excellent words bro. Couldn’t have said it any better.
mrijuana is also dangerous man… but since alchol is legal marja should be legaized too..
