Facts and Signs
on Alcohol

FACTS

-Alcohol is a clear liquid at room temperature.
-Alcohol is less dense and evaporates at a lower temperature than water (this property allows it to be distilled -- by heating a water and alcohol mixture, the alcohol evaporates first).
-Alcohol dissolves easily in water.
-Alcohol is flammable (so flammable that it can be used as a fuel). 

HOW TO KNOW YOUR FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER IS DRINKING ALCOHOL:

- getting drunk on a regular basis
-lying about the amount of alcohol he or she is using
- having frequent hangovers
- feeling run-down, depressed, or even suicidal
- having “blackouts”—forgetting what he or she did while drinking

If any of this sounds familiar, you need  help immediately.
