CNI Lent Alcohol Challenge...
Each week CNI linked projects help people who are affected by drinking too much alcohol (though that is only a small part of what we do!) Can we encourage you to take up the CNI Lent Alcohol Challenge and invest into the work of CNI...
During Lent (9th March - 23rd April) would you consider giving up alcohol - it doesn’t have to be a total giving up - it could be drinking one glass a week less or buying one less bottle of wine during the 6 weeks Lent period. Then with the money you save make a donation to Christian Nightlife Initiatives Network so that we can help more towns and cities continue and start work within the night-time economy...
To join in email hello@cninetwork.org.uk (we will add your first name and town to this page) and then send your gifts payable Christian Nightlife Initiatives to “CNI, Fairtrade Café,15 Crossley Street, Halifax, HX1 1UG” (download a Gift Aid form) or donate on-line via CAF here.

Alcohol The Facts from "Talk to Frank":
In small amounts alcohol can help you relax and feel more sociable. It makes your emotions more intense, which is OK if you are in a good mood but not so great if you are feeling low. Too much alcohol and you'll start slurring your words and get clumsy or fall over. You might start crying or getting angry - or do something you regret. Mixing with other drugs can be dangerous, and drinking too much in one go can lead to alcohol poisoning, which can make you unconscious or even kill you. If you drink alcohol a lot you can end up feeling depressed. A ling term drinking habit can cause liver, heart or stomach problems. You can also get addicted and end up becoming an alcoholic. If you are under 18 it is illegal for someone to sell you alcohol and illegal for someone else to buy it on your behalf. Moderation is the key - know your limit, know when you have had enough and know when to move onto soft drinks... |
