FACTS: 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

breathing. Mixing alcohol and drugs also can lead to coma and death. Keep your edge.
Alcohol is a depressant, or downer, because it reduces brain activity. If
you are depressed before you start drinking, alcohol can make you feel
worse. Look around you.
Most teens aren't drinking alcohol. U of A CORE survey states that 40% of
our students do not drink at all. Incoming college freshman tend to think
that “everyone drinks” when in all actuality that is not the case. KNOW
