How does alcohol make people feel?

Just a couple more...
  • The drinker may feel emotional and sentimental, or over-excited
  • They may feel more sensitive, and not their 'usual self'
  • They'll become unco-ordinated as they lose muscular control, and feel wobbly and unbalanced
  • Their senses will be less sharp - they may not be able to see or hear clearly

 

back to Fact File

50% of 15 and 16 year olds in the UK have been drunk at least twice during the last 12 months.
