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!

• 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!
