Did you know that in 2011 the National Survey on Drug Use
and Health reported that 25% of youth aged 12 to 20 drink alcohol and 16%

dangerous consequences that can be life threatening like liver disease, reduced
fertility, high blood pressure, increased risk of various cancers and heart
attack are some of the numerous harmful effects of regularly drinking more than
the recommended levels. Alcohol also puts you at greater risk from sexual
behaviour and increases your chance of getting a sexually transmitted disease
or an unwanted pregnancy. It was found that 16% of college students in Essex
College said that they did something they regret while under the influence of
alcohol. You don’t want that to happen to you do you now? Well, read on and
I’ll tell you more scary facts and also how you can prevent doing some silly
mistakes.
