Recently Macarena told us how alcohol consumption is increasing among adolescents with a dangerous tendency towards no bottle no paradise. Although we could also say that we are facing a process in which teenagers attend, every weekend, a melopeas vending machine. The data of the State Survey on Drug Use in Secondary Education indicate that more than 80% of students say they have consumed alcohol in the last year and that more than half of young people between 14 and 18 They have attended a bottle in the last month.
I guess it will be because my daughter grows up and is approaching the age at which she will have to go alone with her friends to discover the world so I encourage you to try to understand the bottle phenomenon. And although the excuse they say that it is the high price of the glasses I resist believing it because in the large bottles many young people are equipped with their smartphones and hang photos or talk about it during the party. In addition, as güasap generation that they are, while they make the corrillos, each one writes messages while he is oblivious to the one next to him!
Yes in Spain we complain about piracy and of the limited leisure offer for children and young peopleWhat are you waiting for? Never before have we had such a dramatic crisis and we have probably missed the opportunity to push new artists, new movements, new trends that are able to break the current situation while the bottle continues to advance.
And I even wonder what is the art that a bottle can produce. If in Spain we have had good references with guateques who gave ye-yé music, what competed with Spanish music and won! They served to adopt Anglo-Saxon dances, also the opening to the outside, even movies! In the 80s we could see how the bars grew as places of leisure and socialization, music and live rhythms, what ended the ye-yé trend! and a lot of literature and even successful cinematography with Pedro Almodóvar! as one of the great visual storytellers of the time. In the 90s they triumphed The stories of the Kronen by Montxo Armendáriz based on the novel by José Ángel Mañas. The generation X who started the party in the bars and decided to leave them to live in the street where he finally took over Generation Y or millennials.
I hope the legislators Also those of education! they feel and tell their problems because if on the one hand we are driving creativity, imagination, motivation, self-esteem, self-control and autonomy In the education of children, what do we put them, when they grow, vending machines for melopeas? And if the bars are marked rules and laws, in addition to high taxes, which are causing them to empty and not only when they have to smoke leaving the cup inside! It is normal to think that for that better on the street!
And if artists: musicians, writers, film professionals, are not allowed to promote their creations in enabled spaces, Why are we preparing the generation with more possibilities in history? If you are not going to be able to enjoy a culture of entertainment, it is essential with the next leisure time!
For example that video game creators They are growing without stopping to think that there are possibilities to develop other forms of entertainment for young people who play at home, yes, or as Macarena also commented, do adolescents and young people have to suddenly recover the streets we deny, and we have been denying for a long time, since they are children? And, could they not recover them in a more varied and enriching way than through a bottle?
Although recovering the 70 or 80 or 90 of Spain is impossible what it cannot be is that the large bottle. Colloquial: an open-air party in the streets where young people drink, usually before going to the disco or bar where drinks are more expensive Be a phenomenon, In my opinion very bland and boring, which barely generates wealth, that does not produce any artistic or cultural movement of relevance and that only serves so that we have to maintain an enormous administration of cleaning services to ensure that our cities look decent and decent.
