Today I began to write my information.


What is Alcohol?
Alcohol is a drug that affects both the brain and body. Each year it costs the government over $1.4 billion in crime, social welfare and public health due to alcohol related incidents. Alcohol abuse can lead to loss of coordination, slowed reflexes, memory lapses and even blackouts. Long term alcohol abuse can lead to liver disease and other life threatening illnesses. People are attracted to alcohol because of the feeling it gives them, because of peer pressure, because of exposure to things they see on television and in movies and because they see their parents doing it. Alac statistics show that over 40% of youth under 17 are “binge drinkers”.


The information I used was from the websites.

I also started planning the fonts I want to use. I want my title and front cover to resemble the TV show "Skins" because it is popular and recognizable.
