Alcohol and Drugs
For some students drinking alcohol and experimenting with drugs are not new experiences - but for many, they are. Coming to university and meeting new people can introduce you to new experiences and may mean that you come into contact with alcohol and drugs in a whole new way or for the first time all together.
There will also be students who choose to avoid intoxicants, or who just don’t find them that attractive or interesting. Whatever your attitude to drug and alcohol use, there are some things that you should know.
- Any substance that is ‘intoxicating’ can be abused and can be addictive
- Any substance abuse can have very serious consequences for your physical and mental health, relationships, future career and in the extreme your future all together
- The use of illicit drugs is illegal - and can have very serious consequences
Whatever you choose to do, it’s wrong to pressure anyone else to use any kind of substance. Respect their point of view.
