Alcohol Awareness - How Much is Too Much?
Sometimes people wonder: Do I drink too much? Am I in
control of my drinking? Am I setting myself up for drinking-related problems?
The following questions are designed to help you identify drinking habits that
may cause problems for you. Answer honestly; no one but you will know the
score.
I cut classes or work in the afternoon so I can party.
I missed classes or work in the morning because of a
hangover.
I have done poorly on an exam or at work because I
drank too much the night before.
When drinking, I have done something for which I was
later sorry or embarrassed.
I have "blacked out" while drinking (not
been able to remember things I said or did).
I frequently drink until I am drunk, I drink to get
drunk.
I choose friends on the basis of how much they drink.
I have had problems with friends, family, roommates,
boy/girlfriend, college authorities, or the law as the result of drinking.
Drinking affects my reputation.
It bothers me when other people say I drink too much.
If you have done one or more of these things, stop and
think for a moment. You may be doing yourself some harm. Maybe it's time to
talk to someone, get some information. Have a question regarding alcohol or
other health-related topics contact CHEW at 941-6224 ext. 2.
