Querida Lourdes,
Tengo un problema y necesito vuestra ayuda. Bebo casi todos los dĂas: durante la semana bebo vino, pero el fin de semana bebo vodka con cola o sidra.
Empecé beber a la edad de quince años.
Uno de mis amigos que tenĂa dieciocho años me ofreciĂł una copa y la bebĂ porque mis amigos bebieron. Lo hice para impresionar a los otros.
SĂ© que es malo para la salud, pero no puedo parar. ÂżPodrĂa ayudarme? Carlos
