Lesson 29: Alcohol and You - Slide 6
Alcohol Is A Drug
- Everybody uses it – how can it be a drug?
- People go to bars, have a few drinks, drive home, and nobody cares…because they’re only drinking alcohol
- At my house, beer and wine in the refrigerator are right next to the milk and orange juice… you don’t see cocaine or heroin sitting in people’s refrigerators!
- Alcohol is only a drug for people
who can’t handle it
