Alcohol is a depressant which slows down your brain and reaction times.
Alcohol also interferes with your judgement, balance, co-ordination, vision, hearing, concentration and alertness.
People who have been drinking will often take more risks or be less aware of danger.
Alcohol can affect medical treatment and hinder the recovery process.
A person who has been drinking can be reluctant to get medical help.
All of these things make a person who has been drinking more vulnerable to accidents.
'Alcohol and Accidents' is available to buy as part of our KS3/4 alcohol leaflets pack and KS3/4 alcohol posters pack. Visit our Literature store to find out more.
THINK OF THE RISKS, CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES
