This series aims to help teenagers make up their own minds controversial contemporary issues around the world. The arguments on different sides of each issue are illustrated by means of quotations taken from a variety of different sources - government statistics, independent experts, public figures and people with personal experience of the subject. Readers are guided through the arguments by a running narrative that introduces the quotations and their sources and endeavours to put them into context. Facts and statistics on each subject are featured in information boxes throughout. Questions at the end of each chapter focus the reader's attention on the key areas of debate, and the series is intended as useful resource material for current affairs, history, politics and social studies courses. Focusing on the complex subject of alcohol, this book presents the varied views of the industry, the consumer, the victims of alcohol dependency and those who deal with the social problems. For many people, alcohol is an enjoyable part of a social gathering, but it is also responsible for thousands of deaths, widespread ill-health and addiction and broken relationships. Yet it is often portrayed in advertisements on television as glamorous and attractive. Here, the reader is encouraged to think further about the issues involved.
