IES students Gerardo Molina learn about the dangers of alcohol consumption with the ARGOS program (24/03/2017)

This Friday morning, a class of students from the 1st ESO IES Gerardo Molina Torre-Pacheco attended "Alcohol: conscience with science", a talk about the dangers of consumption of these drinks.

From the ARGOS-Murcia program, they warn that alcohol is the drug most consumed by both adults and adolescents and young people, and that is why, from their community phase, they offer this campaign to prevent and treat alcohol and other drugs.

The speaker was Flori Rosique Gómez, a doctor at the Torre-Pacheco Health Center, who works as a family doctor.

Their job this morning is to inform and raise awareness among adolescents not to start taking drugs, in this case alcohol.

"It's very important that alcohol intake does not start before age 25," Rosique adds, "because your body is still developing, especially the mind, liver and heart."

Also, if they start drinking alcohol at an early age they are likely to develop a problem in the future.

To all this also it is necessary to add that sometimes this consumption causes accidents, aggressions, fights, etc.

What this program proposes is to send this message with a language adapted to them and make them understand that alcohol is harmful and very addictive.

It is also emphasized that they should resist testing by peer pressure and help them by talking about their self-esteem and the decision that each one has in them has to take.

The Health Center of Torre-Pacheco plans to give another talk to institutions about health habits in the near future.

The Department of Social Services of the City of Torre-Pacheco, organizes this activity that is framed in the program of prevention of drug addiction, which has been developing for more than a decade and which involve the secondary education institutes of the municipality.
