The Good?

Some people drink alcohol to feel less tense or anxious and more relaxed.

The Bad…

Heavier drinking can turn good feelings into bad and bad feelings into worse. Since alcohol affects memory, people sometimes don’t remember feeling bad.

The Ugly…

People who drink heavily often wind up doing things they really didn't want to do. They end up in accidents, fights, and other bad situations that harm property, other people, and themselves.
