Page 2—Myths and alcohol Have a class discussion with your students. Start by discussing the myths on this page. Ask your students why they think some people believe these myths are true. Have them write a letter to a pretend friend who believes these myths and wants to use alcohol. They can explain the truth to the person in their own words. Then, students can read their letters to the class.
