Chapter three in our Social Problems book for this class is about drugs and alcohol. This chapter shows illustrates many things everything from global drug abuse to local drug abuse. It talks about why people will become drug users, what types of drugs are most common or the most dangerous and also tells what people need to do if they know of abusers. This chapter doesn't just talk about drugs and people using them but also how it can affect society and how lives and families are ruined because of drugs and alcohol abuse. One thing that was in my mind while reading this chapter was that alot of drug abusers do drugs when people arent watching and in private settings and a quote from john wooden best describes this “The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching.”
