Learn the risks of alcohol
The risks associated with drinking alcohol.
Coaster initiative
For our coaster initiative, we wanted to help our local community understand the risks with drinking alcohol.
Team effort
We worked as a team to create coasters with facts about use of alcohol and the risks that may be unknown to many users.
Local stores
We dropped off the coasters at local businesses, to be handed out to individuals willing to learn more!

A hangover is one of the most immediate and common unwanted consequences of alcohol consumption. Hangover describes the group of symptoms that may follow excessive drinking.
Regular sleep is important for our health and well-being. It allows us to repair physical and psychological damage and function well in our waking lives. Drinking alcohol can disrupt the sleep cycle. It can change both the length and quality of our sleep.
