Introduce the lesson by welcoming students and providing an overview of what will be discussed. Emphasize that today we are unmasking the truth behind alcohol abuse.

Discuss the definition of alcohol abuse, set the context with statistics to show relevance, and engage with a question: what do you already know?

Highlight the physical effects of alcohol. Explain each bullet point and ask students if they recognize any of these signs or have heard of them.

Discuss the effects on mental health. Engage students by asking how alcohol might affect decision-making and behavior.

Clarify common misconceptions. Present one myth and ask students to reflect or discuss why it might be misleading.

Wrap up the presentation and prepare to transition into a group activity. Encourage questions and a brief discussion from the students.
