Luis from Spain conducted a workshop on Alcohol Awareness in which we learned about the consequences of alcohol, we reflected on our relationship with alcohol and its consumption.
According to the Spanish Ministry of Health, Social Policy and Equality, 75.1% of adolescents aged 14-18 have consumed alcohol at some time in their lives 6 out of 10 adolescents have been drunk at some time in their lives and 1 out of 3 have done so in the last 30 days.
It is interesting to analyze in this topic which are the motivations that young people themselves express in relation to the consumption of alcoholic beverages and also those that have those who do not consume them so we want to share with you the guidelines for this workshop:

Notes
The Standard Beverage Unit (SBU). Each S.B.U. represents between 8 and 13 grams of pure alcohol. With a S.B.U. you can measure the amount of pure alcohol, not the amount of liquid you drink. A healthy liver can metabolize about one E.B.U. every hour or hour and a half.
With regard to the consumption of alcoholic beverages, it is recommended not to exceed 20 grams of alcohol per day for women, 30 grams for men.
