Actions for Health, p.336

Consider the following situations. Then, respond to the questions that follow:

 

Situation A: The father of your classmate recently had a heart attack. Your classmate tells you that her father began drinking again. She is concerned about how alcohol might be harmful to him.

1.       What suggestions would you give your classmate?
I would encourage her to convince her dad to stop drinking. Alcohol isn’t healthy, especially for someone who just recovered from a heart attack.

2.       Who do you think might be able to help your classmate?
Reinforcements. It may be her relatives or her dad’s friends.

 

Situation B: Your friend invited you to his birthday party held in his home. Punch is served during the party. The celebrant offers you a glass of punch. You have the opportunity to drink it without anyone else knowing.

1.       Would you accept his offer?
No, I would not accept his offer.

2.       What are the reasons for your actions?
I feel there is alcohol in the punch and I myself choose not to drink alcohol. I also choose to make this as a practice to resist peer pressure.
