And the winner

of the Creativity Contest -

 

"Reasons that I
don't drink  alcohol ..."

 

is ... Taylor Wood!

 

You may ask me why I do not drink at parties?
You may wonder why I always say no.
I do not want to be part of the peer pressure,
so instead I look and remember I want to survive.
Being a kidney transplant recipient,
I want my kidney to last longer
than someone who is constantly drinking.
My top priority for the rest of my life
is this single transplant.
So the main reason that I do not drink alcohol,
you may ask, would be because
I do not want to ruin my life
and be on a hospital bed one more time.
I do not need my stomach pumped
to be cool
but most of all
I do not need another kidney transplant
because of alcohol.

Haiku for You! Another Creativity Contest Entry!

Drinking is not good. It affects your body. Do not drink and drive. Because you could crash. Alcohol is addictive. Never drink too much. Don't drink alcohol. Drinking hurts your family. Don't put them through that. If you have a drink, You have to get a driver. Don't drive drunk ever. Never drive alone. If you don't want to drunk drive, Do Not Drink at all.
