Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Could just consider the risks associated with consuming alcohol rather than both the positives and negatives.
Pupils working at greater depth: Can be challenged during the activity to divide the consequences of excessive use into short and long term effects. They could also look at alcoholic units to understand more about what excessive use might mean using the link: NHS Alcohol Units.
