WELCOME! to Current Health 2's Web extension for February 2009.

Our special issue covers nearly every facet of alcohol in a teen's life. We begin by outlining the physical and mental healths risked by adolescents who drink. We shine light on the often hidden lives of young people growing up with an alcoholic in the family. And we offer some strategies for teens who choose not to drink; saying "no" isn't as hard as they think. We hope you and your students have many thought-provoking discussions about these topics. This issue of the magazine is worth holding onto for future classes!

We'd love to get your feedback on what worked in this issue, and what you'd like to see more of. Send your comments to CurrentHealth@weeklyreader.com. Thank you! Your ideas help make the magazine better for all of our subscribers and readers.
