The poster depicts a man as he sits
on a roadside curb holding his heed.
In the background, the flashing lights
of a police car and a corpse lying
covered on the pavement. The bold
letters across the top of this*shocking
:scene read: "FIRST, HE KILLED
THE BOTTLE". Drinking and driv-
ing can be a deadly combination. An
education campaign developed by the
Ministry of the Attorney General was
designed to "drive home" the point
that drinking and driving don't mix!
Keep in mind the following facts the
next time you drink alcohol.
DID YOU KNOW THAT....
• There are similar amounts of
alcohol in one bottle (12 oz.) of regular
beer which is 5 percent pure alcohol,
112 oz. of spirits ie. whiskey, rum etc.,
which is about 40 percent pure
alcohol, and 5 oz. of table wine which
is 10 percent -12 percent pure alcohol.
A drink is a drink is a drink!!
• Taking a shower, eating a big meal.
or drinking coffee will not make an in-
toxicated person sober. Time is the
only route to sobriety! Since the liver
requires one full hour to oxidize an
ounce of alcohol, consuming more
than one drink per hour will lead to
impairment.
• The length of timean individual re-
mains intoxicated primarily depends
on how much alcohol was consumed
and over what length of time.
• Small amounts of alcohol can affect
intellectual functioning. Even when
you don't think you're intoxicated.
your ability to drive a car safely may
be seriously impaired. If a friend of-
fers to drive you home, please give
Wm your keys - it could save lives!
• Alcohol contains none of the
vitamins, minerals, or amino acids
essential to your daily diet but it does
contain calories! For example, 12 oz.
of regular beer equals 173 calories.
11= oz. whiskey equals 107 calories.
and 3 oz. sherry equals 170 calories.
If you want to lose weight or maintain
your weight, restrict your alcohol
consumption!
• Daily consumption of more than
small amounts of alcohol, increases
your chances of developing health
problems such as cirrhosis of the
liver, hypertension. cancer of the
pharynx, or brain damage.
• Consuming no more than one drink
per hour or four drinks per occasion
is a guideline that can help you use
alcohol responsibly. -
Have a Happy and fun New Year's
Eve, but make sure 1987 arrivess
safely. If your ,elebrations include
alcohol, use it in moderation or let so-
meone else drive you home!!
Remember ! IF YOU DRINK.
DON'T DRIVE.
