Question: Is Alcohol a drug?
Answer:
5. Alcohol is the most used drug of all.
Alcohol is a drug. Like any other drug it is poisonous to the body. Like other drugs, alcohol uses up vitamins in your body so you feel tired or sick after drinking it. This is what causes a "hangover".
The body needs vitamins to stay alive. If you don't eat a healthy diet, you may not get the vitamins you need. This can cause you feel tired, or even to get sick.
Any time you take drugs, they burn up some of your body's vitamins. If you take enough drugs, you may later feel bad or get sick. What happens if you keep taking drugs to feel better, but each time the drugs burn up your vitamins? the problem gets WORSE.
