Andrew Thompson died after excessive drinking. He
spent the night with friends and they had been drinking a lot. After a while
his friends challenged him to drink a pint of rum. He fell immediately a sleep
for hours , till his friends noticed that he looked very sick and they called
an ambulance. Five days later he died in the hospital.
West Yorkshire Coroner said that Thompson was just a
popular, healthy sportsman with many
friends, who was foolish to drink too much in company of his friends. Hincliff
said that he hopes that this useless death will be a warning for others.
Personal opinion
How sad that a healthy young man died under pressure
of friends, hopefully it set an example for others. Excessive drinking is a big
problem especially for the youth. We have
to be aware of it and prevent. Perhaps the preventing campaigns need a more
shocking element to wake up the people. It
is the best to start early with providing information at schools and again parents have the responsibility to educate
their children and set an example too. Sometimes I think we should be less
forgiving to people who drink too much .
I think people really don’t realise where the line is between fun drinking and life threatening drinking. I think better education is very important. Not just education about why you shouldn’t drink, but also education about what you have to keep in mind when you drink (a lot). (Young) people will drink anyway!
