Alcohol includes beer, lager, wines and spirits. A lot of people have a drink and enjoy it and in moderation that’s OK. Too much though can mean risking your health and your safety; you could damage your liver, have an accident or get involved in a fight, and potentially end up being arrested. If you're old enough to have a driving licence and are ‘over the limit’ then you could be convicted for drink driving and lose your licence for 12 months.
Here are some websites that give you more information and help:
- Addaction – help with drugs and alcohol
- Know Your Limits - interactive site with a drinks calculator
- Alcoholics Anonymous - national helpline 0845 769 7555

You can use the library in your Connexions Centre too as it has information for you to read or take away. You could also go to Health Web Linx for more useful websites.
