Alcohol Awareness Month
Alcohol affects your brain. Drinking alcohol leads to a
loss of coordination, poor judgment, slowed reflexes,
distorted vision, memory lapses, and even blackouts.
Alcohol affects your body. Alcohol can damage every
organ in your body. It is absorbed directly into your
bloodstream and can increase your risk for a variety of
life-threatening diseases, including cancer.
Alcohol affects your self-control. Alcohol depresses your
central nervous system, lowers your inhibitions, and
impairs your judgment. Drinking can lead to risky
behaviors, such as driving when you shouldn’t, or
having unprotected sex.
Alcohol can kill you. Drinking large amounts of alcohol at
one time or very rapidly can cause alcohol poisoning,
which can lead to coma or even death. Driving and
drinking also can be deadly. In 2003, 31 percent of
drivers age 15 to 20 who died in traffic accidents had
been drinking alcohol.
Alcohol can hurt you, even if you're not the one drinking.
If you're around people who are drinking, you have an
increased risk of being seriously injured, involved in car
crashes, or affected by violence. At the very least, you
may have to deal with people who are sick, out of
control, or unable to take care of themselves.
