Reseña del editor

With around nine in 100 men and four in 100 women showing signs of being dependent on alcohol, what are the long- and short-term effects of drinking? This book explores the effects of alcohol on the body and the mind, looks at drinking trends in the UK and considers the safe weekly limits for both men and women. It also looks at alcohol related accidents and the effects on hospitals, and considers whether the legal drinking age should be increased. The information inside comes from a variety of sources, including newspapers, magazines, government reports and charity groups; providing different perspectives on challenging topics. At the end of the book is a selection of activities that will encourage interaction, literacy, critical thinking and independent research. Content is accessible and engaging, tailored primarily towards the 14 to 18 age group.
