When not to drink?

Sometimes it makes sense not to drink at all. Even a small amount of alcohol affects your judgement, reactions and co-ordination. Most people who enjoy drinking find it a sociable and relaxing thing to do. However, there are times when drinking too much - or even at all can cause problems or harm.Do not drink and drive (Drinking and Driving)
