This module was created with your needs in mind. Its aim is to assist you in understanding the negative health effects of consuming alcohol, as well as its adverse effects and physiological changes in the body. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The terminology used considers the students’ various levels of vocabulary. The lesson is arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.
