Information leaflet Information leaflet
• The ‘beer belly’ look doesn’t just apply to men, women can develop a belly too.
• A bottle of wine has 40% of the daily recommended calories for women. This is comparable to three Mars Bars, a Big Mac burger with medium fries or six jam doughnuts.
• Too much alcohol can cause ‘moobs’ (man boobs) and penis shrinkage!
• Too much alcohol does nothing for your looks: broken capillaries and dried out, blotchy skin.
• Drinking plenty of water between alcoholic drinks will help you avoid dehydration and a hangover.
• Alcohol lowers blood sugar levels, so eat as soon as you can - bananas, cereal or egg on toast are all good morning-after snacks.
• Alcohol is responsible for more deaths than all illegal drugs combined.
• 80% of disorder crimes are alcohol related.
• On average, 13,000 alcohol related violent incidents take place outside UK bars and pubs every week.
• Stay safe by planning ahead - think about how you’re getting home before you start drinking.
• Never leave your drink unattended and don't accept drinks from strangers, it's all too easy for someone to spike your drink.
