Know your limits

IMPORTANT ALCOHOL AWARENESS INFO, COURTESY OF UCL.

It's the start of another school year, so UCL has some important facts about alcohol which I think it's important to forward on. Topics are as follows:

Anything can happen: A few drinks at the weekend. You and your mates are out in town, having a laugh--anything could happen. That might be closer to the truth than you might think. If you cause harassment whilst drunk you risk being made the subject of an anti-social behaviour order.

What are they laughing at? The more you drink, the easier it is to cross the line between being funny and being annoying.

Problems you can see: If the way you look is important to you, you might want to consider how alcohol affects your appearance. All alcohol is heavy with calories. So the more you drink, the more likely you are to put on weight. Heavy drinking can also take a toll on your looks, give you skin problems and age you before your time.

Sex: The person you're pulling might look gorgeous after you've had a few drinks. But what about in the morning? And don't be surprised if you can't preform after a heavy night of drinking; alcohol acts as an anesthetic and makes it harder to achieve an erection or orgasm. Over time, heavy drinking can lead to imptotency, smaller gentials, and a lower sperm count.


Thanks, UCL, for this really important useless (and sort of offensive) information. Without your guidance, I could be sleeping with, or experiencing erectile dysfunction with, the criminally ugly. We are all forever in your debt.
