Funded by the Alcohol Education and Rehabilitation Foundation Ltd, this is a new and exciting resource on alcohol produced by UnitingCare Moreland Hall, an alcohol and other drug treatment and education agency. Designed to be accessible and attractive to young people, this resource will be enormously useful for families, schools and in youth services.

Illustrated throughout with cartoons, the 20 page booklet covers a wide range of topics including:

• Information on standard drinks – for adult drinkers and for those new to drinking
• What are ‘drinking problems’?
• The history of alcohol
• Drink driving
• How the law impacts upon drinking across the states
• Alcohol’s impact upon the body
• Alcohol and advertising
• Alcohol and sport
• Harm minimisation strategies – including partying and reducing harm and the option of not drinking

Young people have been consulted in the planning and design of the booklet and their stories are included throughout. All information has been carefully checked and comes from credible and approved sources.

This is the publication that young people have been asking for. On every page there will be some information that is new to them and may be helpful in their lives or the lives of their friends. Its tone is non-judgemental; its presentation entertaining and engaging. And at $3.50 it is most affordable.

Use the publication as a conversation starter within families or to assist drug education classes. Designed for those who are 13 or older, it will have wide application in our society which needs to be reminded that alcohol is the drug which is most likely to harm young Australians.
