Look your best. Using to***co, alcohol or drugs takes a toll on your appearance. From ni****ne stained teeth to bloodshot eyes – from a dull, vacant expression to poor posture and impaired motor skills – each of these substances can damage the way you look, feel and behave.

9. Save money. Let’s talk dollars and sense. A pack of ci******es in Anchorage costs up to $10 a pack! A half case of beer runs $15-20. And as for drugs, ma*****na is one of the cheaper choices at nearly $300 an ounce! Considering the harm these substances represent to you and your future, WHY would you invest this kind of money in self-destruction?

8. Feel healthier, more fit. Smoking slows down the flow of blood through arteries in the body. It destroys lung tissue and inhibits breathing. Alcohol is a depressant. It not only impairs judgement, it diminishes motor skills and mobility. And drugs present a wide variety of health risks and dangers depending on which drug you are using. If you care about your health and fitness, just say NO to To***co, Alcohol and Drugs.

7. Sleep sound, improve memory. To***co, alcohol and drugs inhibit and interrupt normal sleep patterns, and often interfere with new learning and the normal memory processes.

6. Be free and independent. If you know anyone who is hooked on ci******es or dependent on alchol or drugs to feel relaxed, you can easily see that their dependency robs them of their freedom of choice and independence. Be aware of advertising for to***co and alcohol products that target teens. These large corporation know that you are the most vulnerable to their products. There is a fine line between a bad habit and true addiction. Be smart. Be strong. Be free.

5. Be happier and more content. While to***co, alcohol and drugs may offer some users short-term enjoyment, they also lead to depression, guilt, fear, fatigue, paranoia and despair. True and lasting happiness come from within, not from a bottle, a pipe or a pack of smokes.

4. Earn better grades, ensure a brighter future. Think about students you know who are caught up in TAD. Are many of them on the Honor Roll or on a fast-track to earning a college scholarship? The choices you make now will affect the rest of your life.

3. One bad choice leads to another. Once you start using to***co, or drinking alcohol or taking drugs, it becomes a LOT easier to start experimenting with other harmful substances. Used in combination, these substances can lead to very serious health risks, including death.

2. Be yourself, be confident. The best version of you is YOU. And it’s impossible to be yourself when you are impaired by to***co, alcohol or drugs. True friends like and love you for who you ARE for real. A sure way to alienate and lose friends is to become someone other than who you really are. By choosing to be to***co, alcohol and drug-free, you are naturally more self-assured and confident. You are also more reliable, responsible and consistent.

1. Play for Keeps. Win for Life. As you prepare for high school, one of the most exciting and enjoyable pursuits are the many sports and activities you’ll find through the Alaska School Activities Association. Your eligibility to participate in these sports and activities is contingent on being To***co, Alcohol and Drug free.

5 Ways to Say No to Alcohol When You Don’t Want to Drink


It can be difficult to say no to alcohol for anyone, but it is especially hard for those who are quitting or cutting down on drinking. You can avoid places where drinks are served, up to a certain point. But, eventually, you may be offered a drink by someone you know, or in a public situation where you aren't familiar with everyone present.

In these situations, you don't always want to explain your relationship with alcohol or the reason you choose not to drink, especially if you sense they may not understand. It can be helpful to have a casual, polite response to avoid being asked further questions, offending your host, feeling embarrassed, or exposing a personal story you aren't prepared to share.

1
“I'm Driving”
This is the ultimate excuse. Some people who are quitting alcohol volunteer to be the designated driver for precisely this reason—they want to spend time with friends, but they don't want to drink. This response is also great role modeling for others and furthers the important message to sober behind the wheel.

Anyone who pressures you to drink after you give this response isn't worth listening to. The dangers of drinking and driving are well documented and it is never a good idea to drive after drinking alcohol. Although some people will insist on having a drink while claiming to be "under the limit," even if technically true, they are still impaired.1

2
“No Thanks, I Just Finished One”
How you feel after a drink is an individual matter, and if you don't want another drink instantly, all it implies is good personal boundaries around your own comfort.

It also shows you are not a compulsive drinker and sets the tone for others to pace their drinking too. Yet this response includes the implication that you might have had a drink if you felt like one and lets the power of that decision remain with you.

You may find yourself with the type of person who teases and berates those who are cutting back on alcohol or in recovery. While this might not be the kind of companion you would choose as a friend, they are sometimes unavoidable in a social situation. Don't let them make you feel bad for whatever choice you make.

3
“I've Had My Limit For Tonight”
This is the best response if you regularly drink with the same people, want to control your drinking, and have set a limit based on your blood alcohol concentration. Others will learn over time that you will drink only a certain number of drinks within a certain amount of time, so they can enjoy sharing a drink with you within those limits.

Controlled drinking is a goal for many people with alcohol problems.2 Some pushy people might pressure you to have more. Stand your ground. Don't react to such pressure. After all, you have a right to determine and stick to your own limit, and your limit is based on scientific evidence, not on your feelings or those of anyone else.

4
“I Want to Keep a Clear Head”
Variations on this response are, "No thanks, I've got work tomorrow," "No thanks, I've got an early start in the morning," or "No thanks, I don't want to get a hangover."

This is a great way of letting people know that alcohol does not rule your life, nor will you let it interfere with your day-to-day functioning the next day. This is particularly important for people who could be negatively impacted the following day by drinking too much, such as students during exam periods.

Remember, too, that it can take hours for alcohol to be removed from your system, and people who drink too much at night can still be intoxicated the following morning, sometimes resulting in accidents.3 Keeping a clear head may not be important to all drinkers, but it should be to you.

5
“I Don't Drink”
This response takes the most courage and is the most frequently subject to demands for an explanation. Ideally, it should shut down any further discussion, although you should be prepared for the possibility that you may have to put up with teasing or being asked if you have a drinking problem.

“I don't drink" is the best response for anyone who is serious about recovery from alcoholism or anyone who wants to put an end to the nonsense of peer pressure to drink alcohol. Eventually, people will learn to accept that you have changed, and you may become a role model among your peers.
