FACTS ABOUT ALCOHOL

• The hops that give beer its distinctive taste and aroma come from a vine that is a relative of cannabis.
• A cold shower, strong coffee, and similar remedies are of no value in helping a person sober up.
• Large amounts of alcohol lower sexual performance in men. Alcohol reduces levels of testosterone, the male sex hormone, while increasing estrogen levels, which can lead to impotence, shrunken testicles, and male breast growth.
• Women absorb alcohol into the bloodstream more efficiently than men.
