circulated closer to the outer most layer of skin,
allowing the body’s heat to escape easier.

Alcoholism in the Philippines is
evident. It is said that alcohol drinking
is one of the most addictive habit of
Filipinos (Richard Zarco). Alcoholism
affects a person‟s everyday life. It
alters the normal activities of a
person.
With this, the person‟s family will be
affected too. Reported cases of family
violence are resulted from alcohol
addiction. If these cases get worse,
effects will be shown on a larger
scale. The communities and even the
whole country will be affected.
