COMING UP IN TODAYS LESSON... Identify and discuss the use and effect of alcohol Show how to work out the recommended daily allowance of alcohol Demonstrate how to convert drinks into units

GUIDELINES Current UK guidelines recommend that: Men don t drink more than three or four units of alcohol a day. Women limit their intake to two or three units a day.
ISNT THIS A MATHS LESSON? Now that you have looked at alcohol, we are going to look at the maths! What does alcohol have to do with maths?
WHATS THE LINK? Units Measurements Conversion pints, ml, fl oz, units, etc. Percentages / proof Age (DOB to check proof of age) Price (night out!)
ACTIVITY How many units? Look at the scenarios on the handout and work out their alcohol consumption/ units on their night out! You will need to apply an effective addition and subtraction method as well as be able to work with conversions Here are some tips...
TIPS - CONVERSIONS RTFQ! Read The Fact or Question! Remember you need to look at STRENGTH and quantity! For example; 1 half pint of normal beer = 1unit therefore 1 Pint= 2Units
