                         Expository Essay

     In this essay I will talk about how American society glorifies the consumption of alcohol.
I will also talk about the causes and effects that alcohol has on the body, and the life of the user.
American society glorfies alcohol on T.V., radio, billboards, movies, and any other form of entertainment.  I will talk also about American society targeting tabacco, but not alcohol.  Alcoholism is also a huge problem in American society.

Along with this alcohol is sold at most sporting events.  Athletes, we would believe, would want to stay away from alcohol, because of the damage it does to the body.  However it is still served at sporting events.
     American society also glorifies alcohol by initiations.  This example is most seen on collage gorunds.  To get into a frerturnity, most of the initiations involve drinking a large amount of alcohol.  From this peer pressure, most collage students do the drinking required to get in.
