Have you ever considered going to an Alanon or Alateen meeting? (Not sure how old you are but I gather that you may be in your teens).
Alanon is meetings for the family and friends of alcoholics, Alateen focuses on teenagers. This would all be great research for your paper, and possibly your life.
Feel free to post about how alcohol has affected you, or if you have any questions fire away. And read the stickies as suggested.
