Alcohol abuse
(Provide a link to the article here.)

== Knowing about about alcohol abuse is important because it's a world wide situation that people have seen or overcame from in life. It matters because, most people from different backgrounds no matter the culture or ethnicity are effected by it in some type of shape or form. For example, variety of accidents, and death comes from excessive consumption of alcohol. My impression on it is, alcohol shouldn't have to effect so many people lives. It can be controlled in some type of way so other people wont be a huge impacted by the actions of others. ==

(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

== I will say that this article doesn't have a strong leading introductory sentence about alcohol abuse, it more so hit points that have connections toward alcoholism. The lead doesn't describe the including sections of information it contains. The lead is very concise, the information gives some detail to a certain extent but not all. The article content does correlate to the topic, but some information in the article does not need to be included. The article information is some what up to date, I will say that it is half and half. Most of the information that is giving are 7-25 years old. The article is very neutral, its information that various of people know already. The author of this article does have bias attributes especially in the section talking about "Puberty". Yes, this article is somewhat persuasive. No, all of the facts are not cited in this article. The links in this article does work, and the sources are very diverse. The article does use images and they do connect with the article. The images are not very appealing to me, but are acceptable. The images does provide a good and cited caption. In the talk tab, some editors are talk about how the article could've been more put together and thought out. This article can be improved by adding more details, and putting more citations in the article. I will say about this article is that underdeveloped but not too bad of an article, it just need more critiquing. ==
