I can remember all the pain youve caused me.Do you remember the night when you almost took my fathers life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. Hes 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 turning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasnt the only one badly hurt by you that night.Do you remember the night of my first high school party? 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 head over heels for you. “Im so embarrassed,” they said as I held their hair back so that they could throw up. “Im sorry,” they said when I called taxis for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “This wont 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 due 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 lesson? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car head-on and killed 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 didnt realize her brother was among them at all. She never saw him again. And it was all your fault.I wish youd walk out of my life forever. I dont want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain youve caused. Sure, youve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage youve caused in the lives of millions is not excusable. Stop attracting the people I love! Stop hurting me, please!Sincerely,Me21. What did Alcohol do to the authors father that night?A. It made him drunken and took his life away.B. It made him kill two other people when driving.C.
