If alcohol can cause so MANY problems,
why would anyone even CONSIDER drinking?

Here are some reasons why:

To feel good.
To stop feeling bad.
To look cool.
To be popular.
To celebrate.
To relax.
To feel more sociable.
For excitement.
For religious reasons.
For medical reasons: limited amounts of alcohol are thought to be helpful for some people.
However, the relaxing benefits can also be obtained from things such as exercise or
meditation.
To rebel.
To get drunk or intoxicated.
Because they are “hooked”: that means addicted.
Also, some people drink
because of:
Low self-esteem & depression.
Stress & tension.
Guilt & shame.
These can all be excuses to drink and can make the problem worse.
Do you know the #1 reason
that kids try alcohol for
the first time?

Because their friends do.
Do you know how people can sober up or get over the effects of drinking alcohol??
It’s not what you think!

Fresh air and exercise can make a drinker feel more alert.
Hot black coffee can produce a wide awake drunk.
Cold water can create a wet drunk.
Coffee plus a cold shower a wide awake, wet drunk!
None of these methods work because
it’s all up to the liver and it takes the liver 1 hour to
burn up each drink of alcohol a person has.

TIME is the only remedy!
