Absolute.

First tryout on awareness poster;
another idea;
Although I thought this idea was good at first, the use of the absolut logo would be completely prohibited by the A.S.A.

This article which was raised by the A.S.A (Adversting Standards Agency) has raised the awareness how the use of any sexual nature or link between seduction and the alcholic drink should be abolished.
These are some photoshop tryouts that I tried but probably wouldn't have be able to publish due to the A.S.A;

3 Venues on Broad Street and this is what I found:
In my opinion, these are not signifcent and there definitely is not enough!
Perhaps a little more dramatic way in showing what really happens? Graphic photography?
CIRRHOSIS
"10% to 20% of heavy drinkers will have livers that become cirrhotic after 10 to 15 years of heavy drinking.It is a disease which can cause permenant through the liver and if damaged internally can cause Hepititus C. Cirrhosis is a disease usually had by people who over drink constantly- a good example is binge drinking in young people."

Myths.
MYTH: Alcohol is a stimulant
TRUTH: Alcohol is a depressant that affects the central nervous system – we all know it can make you sleepy. But because it depresses inhibitions at first, it can make you feel more energetic or cheerful for a period of time. But that means you can also be less able to control your emotions or reactions, and continuing to drink does clearly slow down the way you think, speak, move and react.
MYTH: A cold shower/fresh air/hot coffee will sober me up
TRUTH: You might feel less sleepy, but only time will get alcohol out of your body; depending on your weight, it takes about one hour to process one unit of alcohol.
MYTH: If I drive extra carefully, I can drink and drive safely
TRUTH: In 2002, alcohol was involved in 41% of all fatal crashes (NIDA). Alcohol slows down your reaction times, so even if you think you’re in control anything unexpected could cause an accident.
MYTH: Drinking makes sex better
TRUTH: Alcohol can help you avoid feeling awkward or can help you feel more confident. But it can keep men from getting or keeping an erection, and it can reduce sex drive. More importantly, you might put yourself in a risky situation or you might not use a condom, putting you at greater risk of a sexually transmitted disease or an unwanted pregnancy.
MYTH: The worst thing that can happen is getting my stomach pumped
TRUTH: Alcohol poisoning can kill you. Passing out could lead to inhaling your vomit, resulting in death by asphyxiation. Long-term drinking above NHS-recommended levels can lead to a range of serious health problems and some gradually develop alcohol addiction.
MYTH: Beer gets you less drunk
TRUTH: An average pint of beer (ABV 5%), large glass of wine (250ml, ABV 11%) or a ‘large’ double vodka (70ml, ABV 38 to 40%) all have around 2.8 units of alcohol. This is what makes you drunk chemically, and the faster you drink the full 2.8 units, the higher your peak blood level. But there are a wide range of factors that can affect how drunk you feel including your expectations.
MYTH: Switching between beer, wine, and spirits will make you more drunk
TRUTH: Your blood alcohol content is what determines how drunk you are. Mixing drinks may make you sicker by upsetting your stomach, but not more intoxicated.
MYTH: Lining your stomach with a big meal before you drink will keep you sober
TRUTH: Drinking on a full stomach, or coating your stomach with a greasy or milky solution (like drinking milk before you go out) will delay alcohol getting into your system, not prevent it. However, it is best to eat a proper meal before a night out, especially foods rich in carbohydrates and proteins.
MYTH: Your body develops a tolerance to alcohol, so you can safely drink more
