Turning 18 - The Lowdown on Alcohol
http://turning18.com.au/alcohol/the-lowdown-on-alcohol
Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s safer than any other drug, or any less detrimental to your health. Here, we give you the lowdown. For some people, alcohol brings out a side that you never knew existed aggression, inappropriate sexual behaviour, risk taking and more. That’s because it’s not just your body that’s copping the effects of excessive drinking, it’s your brain as well. Drink lots of water. Alternate with non alcoholic drinks. Eat before or while drinking. Stay active between drinks.
