Read the test about the problem of alcohol, decide for each statement if it is true or false, then compare your opinion with the answers .
With New Year just around the corner, the party season is well and truly upon us, but these celebrations can inject both fun and danger into the festive season.
Test your knowledge of drinking with this quick quiz. 1. Alcohol can help you relax and feel more confident and sociable.
2. You're more attractive to the opposite sex after a few drinks.
3. A cup of coffee and a cold shower can help you sober up.
4. Girls usually get drunk faster than young men.
5. Mixing drinks increases the risk of getting drunk more quickly — and having accidents or getting into fights. 6. If you are a teenager and drink too much, you may get stupid.
7. The best hangover cure is hair of the dog — a bit more alcohol the next day. 8. Drinking too much alcohol ('overdosing') may be fatal. You can even die.
9. Alcohol slows down your brain and makes you a potentially dangerous driver. 10. If you're out drinking with your mates, you've got to keep up with everyone else.
11. The more you drink, the fatter you'll become. 12. What I do with my time is my business. If I get a bit drunk, it will hurt no one but myself.

Some sobering stuff (Answers to the quick quiz) 1. Drinking may make you feel relaxed, but it can also make you take foolish risks. You are more likely to do something stupid when you are drunk. Imagine ruining your whole life because you got drunk one night, slept with someone, and contracted AIDS! 2. After a few drinks you might feel more attractive, but it's nothing but an illusion. The sight of a person with a silly smile, zigzag walking and slurred speech will have the opposite effect. 3. Forget this myth. Alcohol is absorbed into your bloodstream within a few minutes and is carried to all parts of the body including the brain. Only time can remove alcohol from your bloodstream. Black coffee, cold showers and fresh air won't sober you up. You should, however, drink as much water as possible to clear the body. Having something to eat before going to a party is definitely a good idea. 4. Women get drunk faster than men. It has been proved that it's VERY VERY difficult for a woman to stop drinking. So it's best not to start. 5. It's true, mixing drinks increases the risk of getting drunk more quickly — and having accidents or getting into fights.
6. Students who drink heavily sometimes joke that they are killing a few brain cells. New research suggests that this is not funny. Teenagers who drink too much may lose as much as 10% of their brainpower — the difference between passing and failing in school... and life. 7. The only real hangover cure is time.
8. Overdosing may make you lose consciousness. If this happens you could choke on your own vomit and die. Overdosing can also cause alcoholic poisoning, which again can be fatal. Drinking too much alcohol over many years can lead to serious liver, heart and stomach problems. 9. About half of all drivers aged 16-60 who are killed in road accidents have alcohol in their bloodstream. 10. If you're out drinking with your mates, it's silly to think you've got to keep up with everyone else. If you're in control of your own life, you decide how much you drink, not anyone else. 11. Alcohol is high on calories, so you may put on weight. 12. If you drink, everyone around you is affected. Family, friends, neighbours, everyone.
