Nakaupo ako ngayon sa cafeteria, kakatapos lang ng first session namin pero nasa isip ko parin ang debate namin ni Hanna kanina. She totally knows a lot of things.

"Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of death in the US, accounting for about 1 in 5 deaths each year. On average, people who smoke die about 10 years earlier than people who have never smoked. Most people know that smoking can cause cancer. But it can also cause a number of other diseases and can damage nearly every organ in the body, including the lungs, heart, blood vessels, reproductive organs, mouth, skin, eyes, and bones, therefore it is much more dangerous than the alcohol" saad nito at napatingin sa'kin, agad naman akong bumuntong hininga bago nagsalita.

"An alcoholic drink is a drink that contains ethanol, a type of alcohol produced by fermentation of grains, fruits, or other sources of sugar that acts as a drug. The consumption of alcohol plays an important social role in many cultures. Most countries have laws regulating the production, sale, and consumption of alcoholic beverages. Regulations may require the labeling of the percentage alcohol content as ABV or proof and the use of a warning label. And some countries ban some alcohols to prevent it from harming people" saad ko at tiningnan siya sa mata.

"But the alcohol has also a benefits like reduces anxiety, and increases sociability" Napangiti ako sa sinabi niya pero kaagad napawi.

"It may reduce anxiety and increases sociability but can't change the fact that alcohol can cause drunkenness, stupor, unconsciousness or death. Long-term use can lead to an alcohol use disorder, an increased risk of developing several types of cancer, and physical dependence" saad ko and this time siya na naman ang napangiti, agad ko naman siya tinaasan ng kilay.

"It is not enough to say that alcohol is dangerous than cigarettes you see cigarettes may improve in vigilance and information processing, facilitation of some motor responses, and perhaps enhancement of memory but smoking causes cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung diseases, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis and it also increases risk for tuberculosis, certain eye diseases, and problems of the immune system, including rheumatoid arthritis and all of it sir can lead to death" saad nito at napataas ang kilay niya kaya't nginitian ko siya.

"I'll tell you how an alcohol can affect the body, lets start with the brain, Alcohol interferes with the brain's communication pathways, and can affect the way the brain looks and works. These disruptions can change mood and behavior, and make it harder to think clearly and move with coordination, the heart, Drinking a lot over a long time or too much on a single occasion can damage the heart, causing problems including Cardiomyopathy, Stretching and drooping of heart muscle we have Arrhythmias an Irregular heart beat, the Stroke and the High blood pressure, next is the liver, Heavy drinking takes a toll on the liver, and can lead to a variety of problems and liver inflammations including, Steatosis, or fatty liver, Alcoholic hepatitis, Fibrosis
and the Cirrhosis, we also have the pancreas, which can cause the pancreas to produce toxic substances that can eventually lead to pancreatitis, a dangerous inflammation and swelling of the blood vessels in the pancreas that prevents proper digestion. And According to the National Cancer Institute. There is a strong scientific consensus that alcohol drinking can cause several types of cancer. In its Report on Carcinogens, the National Toxicology Program of the US Department of Health and Human Services lists consumption of alcoholic beverages as a known human carcinogen. The evidence indicates that the more alcohol a person drinks particularly the more alcohol a person drinks regularly over time the higher his or her risk of developing an alcohol associated cancer. Even those who have no more than one drink per day and binge drinkers, those who consume 4 or more drinks for women and 5 or more drinks for men in one sitting, have a modestly increased risk of some cancers. Based on data from 2009, an estimated 3.5% of cancer deaths in the United States about 19,500 deaths were alcohol related" saad ko at napatango tango lang si Hanna.
