(A)
Dear Alcohol,

You
’
ve been around forever, I can remember all the pain you
’
ve caused me.

Do you remember the night you almost took my father
’
s life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I
think he loves you more than he loves me. He
’
s addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid
him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went
spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn
’
t the only one hurt by you
that night.

Do
you
remember
the
night
of
my
first
high
school
party?
You
were
there.
My
friends
were
intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of
you that they could.I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely.
“
I
’
m so embarrassed,
”

they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit.
“
I
’
m sorry,
”

they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance.
“
This
won
’
t
happen
again,
”

they
said
as
they
were
sent
to
the
hospital
to
have
their
stomachs
pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.

Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to
drive
to
pick
up
his
sister
from
her
dance
lessons?
Do
you
know
how
we
all
felt
when
he
hit
another car andkilled the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister
walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on
the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn
’
t realize her brother was in
the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it
’
s all your fault.
I wish you
’
d walk out of my life forever. I don
’
t want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain
you
’
ve caused. Sure, you
’
ve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you
’
ve caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring
（引诱）
in the people I love. Stop
hurting me, please.
Sincerely,
Anonymous
