Each year between 5,000

and 10,000 people die

prematurely (early) from

alcohol abuse.




Liver disease is the condition most

associated with alcohol abuse. It has risen by 68%

in women and 121% in men over the last 20 years.




About 11% of heart attacks and

strokes are caused by high blood pressure due to drinking

alcohol.

people who are ill due their own abuse of alcohol?

Alcohol and the UNCRC

Right

Article 3All adults should do what is best for you. When adults make decisions, they should think about how their decisions will affect children.

Article 19You have the right to be protected from being hurt and mistreated, in body or mind.

Article 24You have the right to the best health care possible, safe water to drink, nutritious food, a clean and safe environment, and information to help you stay well.

Would the correct decision, that would be best for you, be to ban

alcohol?

Alcohol is a temptation that could be removed by law. Should it be done to

meet this right?

By having alcohol so readily available, does this

make society a safe environment?

Question

Questions to think about…..

Would the U.K. be a safer place for

everyone if alcohol was banned?

Would banning alcohol save

money for the country and lower

taxes?

What is more important, the right for people to choose to drink or the responsibility to keep

everybody safe by banning alcohol?

Why can alcohol companies sponsor sports events? Isn’t

this advertising?
