- 3. If yes, what was its effect on you after drinking it?
- 4. Are alcoholic beverages useful or beneficial?
- 5. Is alcohol a drug?
- 19. Kinds of Alcohol
- 20. • Isopropyl alcohol or rubbing alcohol is toxic and for medicinal use. • Methyl alcohol is poisonous and it is not a beverage.

- 21. Types of Ethyl Alcohol: 1. Wine 2. Beer 3. Distilled Spirits
- 24. • People differ in their reasons for drinking alcohol. • Some people drink because they simply like the taste and it enhance the flavors of the food • Others drink to celebrate social, cultural and traditional events • To relax and enjoy the company of their group • Others simply like the effects of alcoholic beverages on them
- 26. • When the person stops drinking, painful experiences can be eliminated like vomiting, hangovers and blackouts • No drinking means the person can look more rested and fresh in the morning, especially when they have to go to work. • Another major benefit of not drinking is the cost savings. • Drinking and driving is no longer a risk for the person that quits
