Today Jill Hood came in to our class to talk to us about alcohol. She is a Health Improvement Officer.

We learned:

Peter – three things which could have alcohol in them are beer, wine and vodka

Lauree-Ann – children shouldn’t drink alcohol. Adults shouldn’t drink too much.

Michael – you need to be 18 before you can drink alcohol

Jenna – you need to have proof that you are 18 to buy alcohol

Theo – nine out of ten adults drink alcohol

Jed – more than 100 people die each year from alcohol

Michael – alcohol can make you sick
