Alcoholics Annoymous

This is the sad tale of Sally Pasta*. She was just an ordinary girl. She lived at home with her parents but didn't get on with them so started to spend her time away from home. She started to go out drinking every night. By the age of 17 she couldn't go for more than a few days without feeling the need to have a drink. She found herself a boyfriend who worked in a pub. She started using him as an excuse to go drinking, saying that is was his fault she got drunk when he wasn't around because he wasn't there to stop her and when he was around he bought her the drinks. She didn't try to stop and made the only social life she had around the pub. She drank vodka, knowing that vodka made her stressed out and aggressive.

Eventually she became a full on alcoholic, by the age of 19 her liver was losing it's function as the alcohol poisoning took effect. A transplant is needed but no one is sure if even that will be enough.

The moral of this sad tale is that drinking in excess isn't big and it isn't clever, kids!
