Alcohol Issues

With the majority of Brits having had their first taste of alcohol before the legal drinking age of 18, this book explores the reasons why young people may drink. It also looks at the effects that alcohol has on the body and mind, and the dangers of drinking, from addiction to drink-spiking. Issues publications are intended as a photocopiable, cross-curricular educational resource exploring contemporary social issues in an accessible format, for teachers and students aged 11 and above. Titles in the series are designed to provide a balanced overview of a specific topic. The information in our books is comprised of facts, articles and opinions from many different sources, including newspapers, website fact-sheets, magazine and journal articles, statistics and surveys, government reports, and literature from special interest groups. Colour illustrations, statistics, infographics, and assignment ideas help to make these books a valuable teaching resource for Key Stage 3 upwards (S1-S6 in Scotland)
