Body paragraph 1
Topic sentence: There are several health issues occurring only because of heavy
drinking.
Supporting detail: When people drinks alcohol, people always need something to
eat with, so they get to eat much more than they actually needed to.

drinking moderately.

seriously bad habit, but when they lose their judgmental ability, they are no
longer aware whether they had enough or not.
Supporting detail: This kind of lack of judgment can also leads to other
accidents, including drunk driving.
Illustration/example: Actually, in Korea, more than 20,000 accidents happened in
2013 because of the drunk driving, and to see it more clearly, it basically kills
two people a day in average.

Conclusion
A Restate thesis: In conclusion, there are three major effects of drinking that should
be never ignored regardless of age, gender, and cultures. They are health issues,
lack of judgment, and hardship of acquaintances.

Recommendation: Although having a pint of beer, or a shot of soju with close

friends sound like a good time, drinking is something that everyone should
always be cautious about.
