Drugs are a bigger problem than alcohol... and there are plans to build a bridge made of chocolate.
Both of these are complete nonsense. Although alcohol is legal and socially acceptable, it’s still classified as a drug. Alcohol has claimed the lives of more young people than cocaine, heroin and every other illegal drug combined. Too much alcohol can cause ‘moobs’ (man-boobs) and penis shrinkage!
A cold shower is enough to sober you up… and dogs are the greatest dancers.
Both of these are complete nonsense. Nothing sobers you up but the passing of time. A cold shower will just magically transform you into a cold and wet drunk. Alcohol is responsible for more deaths than all illegal drugs combined.
A couple of pints won’t really affect your driving… and Tony Blair’s real name is Maureen.
Both of these are complete nonsense. The truth is that about one third of driving accidents in the UK are the fault of drivers who are over the legal alcohol limit. On average, 13,000 alcohol related violent incidents take place outside UK bars and pubs every week.
Strong black coffee will sober you up... and hens are being recruited to fly planes.
Both of these are complete nonsense. Regular, latte, cappuccino or espresso – coffee just turns you into a wide-awake drunk. Nothing sobers you up but the passing of time. Alcohol is linked to nine different kinds of cancer, including mouth, liver, stomach and colon.
Alcohol warms you up on a cold day… and a single sock has the same nutritional content as a banana.
Both of these are complete nonsense. Alcohol makes you feel warmer because it causes blood to rise to your skin’s surface. When this happens, your body temperature actually drops because surface heat is lost. Stay safe by planning ahead – think about how you’re getting home before you start drinking.
The worst thing that can happen is that you’ll pass out and have a hangover tomorrow… and facial hair is going to be completely illegal by the year 2010.
Both of these are complete nonsense. Death can and does occur from drinking too much alcohol. Alcohol is also to blame for many accidents, and 80% of disorder crimes in the UK. Drinking plenty of water between alcoholic drinks will help you avoid dehydration and a hangover.
