Ask the participants to stand up. Then read out the statements from the list below quickly, in a clear, audible voice:
I drink regularly at parties I don’ t smoke cigarettes. I don’ t smoke weed( cannabis) I stick to legal drugs I never use any drug to excess I get regular medical check-ups
When everyone is seated, ask the participants what these statements have in common. If no one says it, point out that they are all health and drug-use related behaviours. Explain that while we all might know what is basically in the best interest of our health, we do not always use this information as well as we could. For example, even though we know we shouldn’ t drink too much, we sometimes drink more than we planned: that second or third shot of tequila might just be calling us too loudly from the bar!
