- What's wrong Fred?
- I decided to drive home last night and ended up getting pulled over, now I have to pay $800.
- Oh my! You should know that you should never do that, you could put yourself and others on the road in danger you are lucky nothing bad happened like that. Alcohol is one of the most common Risk Behaviors.
- I didn't know that you could have all that happen to you. from just drinking alcohol.
- You might also get addicted and have some serious short term effects. Some of the effects are alcohol poisoning, medical emergencies, motor vehicles, and more. Did you know that of the 85,688 liver diseases among individuals ages 12 and older, 43.1 percent involved alcohol, and 14.4 million adults ages 18 and older had AUD.
- Oh ok!
- Oh, and what is AUD?
- AUD stands for alcohol use disorder. Which is a chronic disease characterized by uncontrolled and preoccupation with alcohol.
- What are some ways to help me stop and say no to others so I don't get peer pressured into doing it again.
- There is a method that I learned called the stop technique. See the S in stop stands for say no, the T stands for tell why, the O stands for offer alternatives, and P stands for possibly/promptly leave. This is a way to help you when getting into those types of situations that you were in.
- Thank you so much for telling me the health risks of alcohol I feel a lot better now.
- No Problem! See you later.
