And Then Some News

Monday, March 17, 2008 is St. Patrick’s Day, and And Then Some is using the Saturday Essay to talk about one aspect of celebrations of that Day. “Celebrations” according to Wikipedia, “are generally themed around the color green and all things Irish; both Christians and non-Christians celebrate the secular version of the holiday by wearing green or orange, eating Irish food and/or green foods, imbibing Irish drink (usually Guinness), and attending parades.” Imbibing, of course, is not limited to Guinness, but includes anything that includes alcohol — and that is the focus of Saturday’s Essay, “We Get What We Deserve When It Comes to Alcohol Overuse and Abuse.”

Share your And Then Some Story about alcohol. Have you experienced the overuse or abuse of alcohol, and do you feel comfortable sharing your story? Do you have any personal experiences that reveal that we do indeed get what we deserve when it comes to alcohol overuse and abuse? See the specifics about sharing your And Then Some Story in the section that follows the excerpt below.

We Get What We Deserve When It Comes to Alcohol Overuse and Abuse
by Richard L. Weaver II

Excerpt:
College is not an exception, rather, it accurately mirrors what happens throughout our society. Alcohol is everyone’s favorite drug, and because of that, it causes more harm than either heroin or marijuana. Fights, arguments, money troubles, family upsets, spur-of-the-moment casual sex are often tied to alcohol use just as automobile crashes, recreational accidents, on-the-job accidents, and the likelihood of homicide and suicide.
