Do You Think You Know Everything About Alcohol?
Everyone knows that alcohol is bad for your health in large amounts.
Drinking alcohol can affect your health and wellbeing, your cognitive performance and how you drive, for example.
In tonight’s Debate Café, we will discuss the damage alcohol can do to your body and mind, how to prevent alcohol abuse, consequences for healthcare and social aspects. And does drinking alcohol have any benefits?
Feel free to join in the conversation and talk with experts about something that seems so commonplace.
