ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE
What should you say if you are offered alcohol?
Here are some one-liner pressure busters to help you and your friends when offered alcohol:
- Alcohol's NOT my thing.
- No, thanks; I have better things to do!
- I don't feel like it - do you have any soda?
- Are you talking to me? FORGET it.
- Why do you KEEP pressuring me when I've said NO?
- Back off!
Here are some other things you can do:
- Talk to your parents about alcohol.
- Don't let ads trick you into thinking alcohol is OK for you.
- Never ride in a car if the driver has been drinking alcohol.
- Talk to your coach, teacher, counselor, or principal about alcohol use in your school.
- Find out the facts about alcohol, and the good reasons not to drink it.
- Plan alcohol-free activities and events.
- Stay smart - don't start!
Remember, Be Smart, Be Safe!
