alcohol and people drunk.

I was at a party the other day, and by the end of the night there was a few people drunk, which is a very common thing in Aus. There was someone who drunk that much that she was feeling sick, and spent quite a while sitting on the toilet floor with her head on the toilet. I don't see the sense in drinking to that extent.
At the end of the night one of the other people that were drunk went into the toilets to see if the first person was alright, and was saying to the first person "your a legend" and fully praised the person for drinking that much. My heart broke..
Also there was a number of people that seemed to be entertained by watching the people that were fully drunk... Which made me sad and angry, cause i could see that a few of the people who were drunk, were trying to escape/cover up their hurts, it was like some people just found it funny, and i really don't find people being drunk funny,
I don't know what the emusement of watching people that are drunk making a fool of themselves. And i hate how the Australian culture so readily accepts drunk behaviour and encourages it...
I See many people each week as i am on the street that are controlled by the alcohol, they spend so much of their money on alcohol, that they don't have anywhere to stay, they either sleep on the street or end up at the sobering up unit. I have also met people on the street who's life has been distroyed by alcohol. And basically it SUX's, it don't know how else to put it.
The government has noticed that alcohol is a problem in Australia, especially binge drinking among teenagers and young adults, and are wanting to try and discourage it. Which at the moment it is a hard job.... because the mindset of majority of australians has to be changed... for so many of australians it is a social thing to go out for a "drink", and then they end up encouraging each other to drink more.
When i see people drunk, my heart breaks, cause i also know that a lot of them are trying to escape from their problems, stress, hurts and pains. which works for a short time, how ever when they sober up, the stuff is still there.... Jesus' heart breaks, He longs to take their pain and problems... and bring healing.... He is just waiting.
