October Tips of the Month: Quick Facts
About Alcohol
-
Know the law. Alcohol is illegal to
buy or possess if you are under the age of 21.
-
Get the facts right. One 12-ounce
beer has as much alcohol as a 1.5-ounce shot of whiskey or a
5-ounce glass wine.
-
Stay informed. Wine coolers look
like juice sparklers but they have just as much alcohol as a
12-ounce beer.
-
Be aware of the risks. Drinking
increases the risk of injury. Car crashes, falls, burns,
drowning, and suicide are all linked to alcohol and other
drug use.
-
Keep your edge. Alcohol can ruin
your looks, give you bad breath, and make you gain weight.
-
Play it safe. Drinking can lead to
intoxication and even death.
-
Do the smart thing. Drinking puts
your health, education, family ties, and social life at
risk.
-
Be a real friend. If you know
someone with a drinking problem, be part of the solution.
Urge your friend to get help.
-
Remain alert. Stay clear on claims
that alcohol means glamour and adventure. Stay clear on
what's real and what's illusion.
-
Sweep away the myths. Having a
designated driver is no excuse to drink. Drinking only at
home, or sticking only to beer does not make drinking any
"safer."
