A MESSAGE TO TEENAGERS

How to tell when drinking is becoming a problem

ALCOHOLISM
Alcoholism is a rough word to deal with.
Yet nobody is too young (or too old) to
have trouble with booze.
That's because alcoholism is an illness.
It can hit anyone.
Young, old. Rich, poor. Black, white.
And it doesn't matter how long you've
been drinking or what you've been drinking.
It's what drinking does to you that counts.
To help you decide whether you might
have a problem with your own drinking,
we've prepared these 12 questions.
The answers are nobody's business
but your own.
If you can answer yes to any one of
these questions, maybe it's time you
took a serious look at what your drinking
might be doing to you.
