EXPLANATION: Peer Pressure Is A Significant Factor In Drug And Alcohol Use - Anyone can start misusing drugs or alcohol. Everyone needs to be aware of situations where they might be tempted to take drugs or drink alcohol. Remember, no matter how much willpower a person has, it is all too easy to become addicted to drugs or alcohol. Let's face it: Drugs make people feel good - temporarily. Just experimenting with a drug can make a person want to try it again and again. They might find that taking a particular drug helps them to face a difficult situation. After a while, they need the drug to face that situation every time and end up taking the drug more often. By the time the person realizes that they're using a drug or alcohol more and more, they are already becoming dependent on it. When they are unhappy, stressed, or lonely - as everyone is at times - they are more likely to turn to drugs or alcohol to forget their problems. If you hang out with people who use drugs or alcohol, you probably will too.
