There are also a lot of m#ths an" misconceptions about alcohol "rinking. $t is not true that alcohol gives #ou e'tra strength. Alcohol has ver# low nutritional content an" it has empt# calories. 1rinking alcohol will not give #ou a boost of self)esteem either. $t is actuall# a "epressant. $t slows "own the function of the central nervous s#stem =&>?@( making a person vulnerable to "oing un"esirable things. These un"esirable things are often mistaken as results of having a higher self)esteem. $t is also not true that one can be sober after "rinking alcohol through consuming coffee. &offee is a stimulant. Gou can onl# have a "runk)awake person. Aathing "oes not also count to the wa#s on how to sober up after heav# "rinking. $t ;ust pro"uces the same effect as that of taking coffee. Alcohol is also not #et proven to be a cure to snake bites an" other relate" in;uries. There are two imme"iate effects of consuming alcohol: into'ication an" hangover. $nto'ication happens when the alcohol goes into the bloo"stream( pro"ucing ph#sical an" mental changes in the bo"#. These ma# inclu"e changes in sight( smell an" other senses. /angover on the other han" is the occurrence of an uncomfortable feeling after getting into'icate". These effects are onl# for occasional "rinking. Aut when a person consumes alcohol consistentl# an" heavil#( e'treme changes in the bo"# ma# occur. A person ma# suffer from liver "iseases like 2<0

That is wh# a person must have a strong foun"ation of resistance skills. These skills involve getting the courage to refuse the temptation of alcohol consumption. These skills also involve a"vocac# on the prevention of alcohol a""iction. After all( it is alwa#s our choice. Alcohol is ;ust a colorless( bitter)tasting liqui" that we can avoi" "rinking.
