Hip Hop to Binge drinking

Während in München Prominenz aus Politik und Gesellschaft diese Woche das Oktoberfest eröffnet haben, viel in Berlin der Startschuss zum Projekt "HipHop gegen Komasaufen".

Das Ziel des Projekts ist "Schülern Alternativen zu Alkoholmissbrauch und Gewalt aufzeigen." Zwei Schulen aus sogenannten "Problembezirken", die Max-Planck-Realschule in Köln-Porz und die Röntgen-Oberschule Berlin-Neukölln, start in a "Battle School" at 22.02.2011 in Berlin against each other. Rapping and dancing to the young people learn before, "about the youth culture, hip-hop to express." The texts on the subject of alcohol abuse come from the young people themselves, "We bring the boys and girls only at times, that what they do, a tough goal. After these 6 months of intensive work, they will realize what they have accomplished. And without the alcohol. " Mario says Pavelka, better known as rapper "Bickmack" which accompanied with his colleagues, "Act One" project.

The Drug Commissioner and Patron of the project, the Federal Government Mechthild Dyckmans (FDP) was present in Berlin. "The binge drinking by children and adolescents has increased in recent years. For many adolescents, alcohol consumption has become a part of growing up. In the past this way, however, went far less than the emergency room of the hospitals than it is today." In recent years could be observed according Dyckmans that alcohol use among young people has continued to decline, but at the same time a group of visible, which agreed to support the joint drinking, binge drinking. "This group of excessive drinkers in recent years have not become smaller."

In 2008 in Germany, 25 700 young people were aged between 10 and 20 years treated for alcohol poisoning in hospitals. And although I think the project well, I have my doubts whether it reaches the "Group of excessive drinkers' also. Young people just do something hip and cool. In the advertising centers of the brewer and distiller makes you look very successful idea for the Youth "IN" to be. In the context of concerts and festivals is solidly built on image. Even old men like herbal liqueur Jägermeister is because the trend-drink. This should start alcohol prevention.
