= = **Drug-related deaths in Britain **

Drugs can lead to serious consequences and in worst case death. The word drug is often connected with drugs like heroin, cocaine and ecstasy, these types of drugs is illegal and very addictive and deadly. Alcohol and smoking is the most usual drugs and it`s legal to use if you are old enough, but that doesn’t make it less dangerous. Every year smoking kills about 120,000 people in Britain.

About 1,500 people in Britain die each year from illegal drugs. Young people may think an overdose is the only thing that can kill a person who is using drugs, that’s wrong. Legal and illegal drugs are the reason to deaths in many cases. It is true that many of these deaths are caused by an overdose of too much drugs for a person to handle. The addiction to a drug makes it easy for the drug user to exaggerate the dose, or go from a not so dangerous type of drug to stronger and more dangerous drugs because they want more satisfaction. Other common deaths caused by drugs are often murders, suicide and accidents committed by a person who is affected by drugs. This is because drugs have the power to affect your mind and body and can make you do bad choices and actions you otherwise would managed to control, like bad behavior and violence to mention a few consequences.

Britain is also known for their many pubs and brutal drinking all over the world, that’s not a myth. About 40,000 british people die prematurely from alcohol-related diseases every year and the leading cause of death among teenagers from 15 to 20 is motor vehicle accidents while the driver is under the influence of alcohol. When a person is driving in a drunk condition it`s take longer time for the brain to perceive what you see and think, this is why drunk driving often ends bad.
