Alcohol

In my country, alcohol is one of the important thing in any event or party. It makes people friendly and fun, especially for men. In contrast, the women don't like it at all because they often have to tidy & clean up after the men. However, the party becomes silent and boring if there is no alcohol.

It's cool to drink and of course alcohol helps remove inhibitions. With a glass of wine in one hand it becomes so much easier to engage someone in conversation, particularly if you suffer from shyness. Worryingly, more and more teenagers are drinking alcohol regularly. 

As with all things, the message needs to be "moderation".
