What The Average Face Of A Person Who Abuses Drugs Or Alcohol Looks Like

To show how alcohol and drugs affect a user's appearance, a website called Recovery.org used mugshots to average the faces of male and female abusers of marijuana, alcohol, and meth.
For each face in the graphic below, 100 mugshots were merged together using software.
To rule out the influence of race
and age, only the mugshots of white drug and alcohol offenders between
the ages of 18 and 35 were selected, according to the website. You can
read more about the methodology here.
In an emailed statement,
Recovery.org says that marijuana users tend to have round features and a
full face, meth abusers have sagging skin, sunken eyes, and a grey-ish
appearance, and alcohol abusers look fairly normal.
The study doesn't offer an explanation for why pot smokers have
fuller features, which seems to contradict a recent study suggesting
that people who regularly smoke marijuana are skinnier.

What The Average Face Of A Person Who Abuses Drugs Or Alcohol Looks Like
To show how alcohol and drugs affect a user's...
IN looking at these pictures it could be anyone between the ages of 18 to 35 in the U.S. The faces are somewhat white but could have other groups or races thrown in. So, in creating an average face you are seeing what the average person in the U.S. looks like too.
I remember how many friends and acquaintances of mine didn't make it or almost didn't make it that I had to help save including myself from about 1969 to 1974 when I finally grew up enough to realize I wanted to stay alive back in those days. Finding a reason to stay alive often is difficult from ages 18 to 25, especially if you are doing what your parents want you to do and not what you want to be doing.
If you aren't doing what you want to be doing it isn't going to work anyhow in the long run. Find your passion and love in life and follow it. Otherwise your life will have no meaning and you might wind up as one of these faces above. Follow your heart. Live your dreams. In the end it is the only way to stay alive that will have any meaning at all for you.
