Education
Whilst at school, college or university, if young people are
using alcohol they are not only taking risks with their health and
may need time off to recover, but their education and friendships
could also suffer.
Alcohol affects the brain and makes it harder to learn,
concentrate and to remember things such as important information in
exams. If your education suffers, this can affect your future
earnings as you may not get the qualifications needed for the
well-paid job you want.
