00:00In the case of alcoholism, I see it as ugly, because, well, I don't like it, I don't drink or smoke.
00:15And I see it as ugly because there are people who drink and take alcohol to cause problems, that's why I don't drink.
00:24Alcoholism ends with man, man is strong, alcoholism is stronger than man.
00:34So, imagine, I've been led to the end because to nothing good.
00:44Alcoholism doesn't lead a man to anything good.
00:47Alcoholism is something that people already drink for entertainment.
00:53They drink because, how can I explain it to you?
01:00If they get sick of what is happening today, no.
01:07They don't get old like the one who says, because they go crazy, because they don't want to work.
01:15They live, I don't know how to explain it to you, 15, 16 years old.
01:23And all that to go to a party, as they say in alcoholism.
01:29Youth, I don't know, they are more and more aggressive, they don't work, the majority don't want to work.
01:39They live making things up, getting in trouble.
01:43There are even older people who promote that teenagers, 11-year-old boys, stealing and getting into houses.
01:53That is a fatal thing, because youth gets into alcoholism and there is a failure, a failure in bad things.
02:06Do you understand me? That is why I say that it is not good.
02:09And here, what is good is that.
02:12We have to talk a lot with them, because youth is still in time, we have to help them.
02:22If it has consequences, because in the end, you start drinking, smoking, smoking,
02:31you take it as a note to feel good.
02:35But there are times when the one who knows how to drink, drinks a lot.
02:39But the one who doesn't drink and drinks, what does is cause problems.
02:43There are people who steal money to buy alcohol.
02:48To buy alcohol.
02:50They can steal anything to exchange it for alcohol.
02:54It is the loss of youth.
02:57For me, that is the loss.
02:59I don't know if it is because of the government, or because of the environment.
03:06I don't know, the environment.
03:08I have two boys and I am always after them.
03:11They are already men, but I have always been in that.
03:15I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do anything.
03:17Because I don't like that environment.
03:19From the house, it starts.
03:22There are people who steal from their parents to buy alcohol.
03:27They even take aggressiveness, to mistreat people,
03:31either on the street, family members.
03:33They take bad steps.
03:35Look what they fell for.
03:37To rob, they even came to kill.
03:41To take their goods.
03:45And this is the consequence of alcoholism.
03:47And this is the consequence of alcoholism.
03:49Because there were boys, 9 years old, 15, 16.
03:53Until I think 20.
03:56And it is fatal.
03:59That is fatal.
04:01Because I say, if you don't know how to drink, don't drink.
04:04Of course.
04:05Nowadays, I know boys who are 11 or 12 years old and they are already drinking.
04:11At least where I live, boys of 11 or 12 years old are already smoking.
04:18They are already 11, 10, 12 years old.
04:21They are already getting into it.
04:23What happens here is that they don't steal.
04:26I am a 69-year-old woman.
04:30And I live there.
04:33And the same is in my neighborhood.
04:36Because there, they don't care.
04:39The time doesn't bother them.
04:43That's why I tell you.
04:48The government has to be tough.
04:51That's what I say.
04:52It has to be a little bit like ...
04:53Don't squeeze with food like he's doing.
04:55Because you have to say it like that.
04:57Don't squeeze with food like that.
04:58Don't squeeze with crime.
05:00Because if you squeeze on one side and throw it on the other, we don't do anything.
05:03Right now, those boys go out into the street.
05:08Their mom doesn't have a chance.
05:10Their dad doesn't have a chance.
05:11They are going to try to fight for 20 pesos to go home.
05:14They are like donkeys.
05:16Don't you understand?
05:17And that's where the problems come from.
05:19They get into stealing here.
05:20They get into stealing there.
05:21I tell myself, they stole from me there.
05:23I would give them a solution.
05:27I hope they find the right path.
05:30And that they stop doing that.
05:32Because in the end, that doesn't lead to anything.
05:35To nothing good.
05:37To alcoholism.
