In her comments , the speaker said that alcohol is very dangerous because it’s a fact that people who drink abandon their families and also a real fact that when men drink , they fail to perform.

‘It is a fact that when people drink, they abandon their families. It is also a fact that when you men drink, you even fail to perform.” She said
