Anger, Alcohol and Drugs

Have you ever heard the expression, "Loose lips sink ships"? Alcohol and drugs often lead to those loose lips. When a person indulges in either of these substances, his or her inhibitions drop away, which causes them to do or say things that they ordinarily would never consider doing or saying. A person who is usually quiet and reserved can become talkative and boisterous -- or even aggressive. A person who is prone to aggression can become violent. If you want to see examples of this, watch a few episodes of "Cops." Enough said.
