HINT: A Gateway To Nowhere - Drinking alcohol can lead to serious consequences. When people drink, their judgment diminishes, and their ability to make good choices is impaired. People who drink have a tendency to make poor decisions, which can lead to use or abuse of other drugs. Under the influence of alcohol, people get more daring and more willing to try things they would never try if they didn't drink. That's why alcohol is considered a gateway drug.
