 Effects of Drugs&Alcohol


In Health we learned about the effects of alcohol and drugs. Our teacher or advisor told us how many bad things that could happen if we continue to take drugs and alcohol. Why? Because when you are addicted to drugs or alcohol you can get in serious danger because someone might give you alcohol but you don't know what's in it may be strong drugs that you don't even know. Someone might try to force you to take it while you are drunk.  

-What are the long-term and short-term effects?

Long Term Effects-

alcohol dependence, brain damage, memory loss, nerve damage, cancer, cardiovascular disease, swelling, and pain.

Short Term Effects-

blurred vision, slurred and confused speech, mood changes, thought processes, judgment, and concentration are impaired, flushing and sweating.

-What should we do if a person passes out at a party (impact for safety)?

call the ambulance, call their parents, lying them on their side against the wall, and put their knee up. 

Hopefully, this text could help young people learn and know more about how to stay safe around drugs or alcohol.
