Common dangers
It is sometimes hard to tell if you are drinking more than is good for you. Many people drink more than they think, especially when drinking at home.
Alcohol, drugs and other substances have a strongly negative effect on the brain and the body, impairing judgement and concentration and often putting the abuser and everyone they come in contact at risk.
Particularly:
- Before or during driving
- Before using machinery, electrical equipment or ladders
- Before working or in the workplace when appropriate functioning would be adversely affected by alcohol
