Lifestyle course: Essay for next week

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

Okay, this week I am going to set an essay, after I forgot my cunning ploy of refraining from doing so didn't spark huge and entertaining arguments in class last time round.

This week, we're going to be exploring alcohol. In particular, the ways in which alcohol can enhance -- or, alternatively, detract from -- one's lifestyle.

Please put your essays -- one hundred words, as before -- into the tray here by Saturday evening, and we'll study the topic in greater depth on Monday as before.

I'm intending to do some serious research into this matter on Friday afternoon, so please keep an eye out for me in town.

Edit: Thanks to a number of people dropping out or leaving school, I've got vacancies on this course. If you want to sign up, just leave me an essay like the other students. You'll be expected to join in the seminar on Mondays. Participation, marks and grades will be calculated on a pro-rata basis.

Alcohol. A popular social beverage which leaves you open to weakness and destruction. Alcohol's strong taste leaves it as a perfect method for one to be poisoned by their enemies, without others suspecting as much until it is too late. Alcohol also lowers the natural defences that keep one's wits sharp, permitting their enemies to take advantage of the situation. Although it may be both socially admissible and encourage in youth to act like an idiot while inebriated, it can often cause far more harm than good, especially when one has reason to suspect that someone else is trying to kill him, and has killed a family member while he was under the influence of alcohol. For such reason, I have improved my lifestyle by giving up the drinking of alcohol.
