My looks

Drink and drugs may make people feel happy and confident, and that they belong to a group, but they can have an effect on your looks. Sometimes people can tell by looking that you've been drinking or taking drugs.

Long term drinking or drug-taking can make you look really ill.

There are many ways in which drink and drugs can affect how you look, some minor, some quite shameful. For example:

DRINK

can make you put on weight
guys can grow MAN-BOOBS
can give you broken veins, eg on your nose

DRINK AND DRUGS

can give you bad skin and hair, and the dreaded SPOTS
make you SMELL
can make you look untidy, messy or DIRTY
can make you clumsy
can make you look stupid
can make you be SICK
can make you WEE yourself

DOWNERS

can make the pupils of your eyes get smaller
can make you look relaxed, lazy or sleepy
can affect your speech, making it slurred

UPPERS

can make your pupils very wide
can make your eyes look 'buggy' like they're sticking out
can make you chew, and if you have no gum you'll probably chew your mouth
can make you look alert, anxious or SCARY
can make you talk a lot of rubbish

CIGARETTES can make your skin and hair age (as well as giving you cancer - not a good look)

CANNABIS can make your eyes look drowsy and red, and put on excess weight from always eating junk food with the munchies.

COCAINE dissolves flesh, so it can damage to your nose or wherever it enters your body

CRACK can make your eyes 'buggy', make you look very tense, and you can even POO yourself
