The Summary

The article "Britain loves booze. But we need to talk honestly about the harm it causes" which is written by Rossalyn Warren, a freelance journalist, is devoted to discussion of the problem of addiction to the alcohol among British people. I've chosen this theme because from my point of view this problem is not ugent only in the UK, but all over the world.

First of all, the author draws our attention to the fact that a lot of british people like to drink alcohol, but "nobody likes to talk about the harm that dependency on the bottle can bring". Unfortunatelly, many people were hurt by others under the influence of alcohol over the past year. She also emphasizes that "we shouldn’t dismiss the impact it has on health and quality of life, particularly if experienced persistently". 

Secondly, Warren argues that one research said that it is very hard to draw concrete conclusions about the problem of the acloholism because earlier alcohol was thought as a normal part of our life. Only few people can publicly talk about their negative experiance about alcohol. "However, while we’re moving in the right direction, it’s still difficult to have an honest conversation about alcohol without coming across as a killjoy". The author conccludes that people need to have more open and honest conversations about this horrible problem.
