The Save-Your-Life Glossary of Alcohol, AIDS, Drug, & Tobacco Terms.
Adcock, Deborah
This document presents the Save-Your-Life Glossary, which consists of four parts: (1) the glossary itself, which defines alcohol, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), drug, and tobacco-related terms; (2) the alerts sections, which focus on popular drugs or issues that concern young people; (3) the focus sections, which categorize and describe specific drugs and their effects; and (4) the information section, from which students can obtain telephone numbers and addresses to call or write for further information or help. A total of 171 terms are defined in the glossary. The alerts sections focus on AIDS, alcohol, heroin, "ice" (methamphetamine), inhalants, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), nicotine, peer pressure, and steroids. Drug categorized and described in the focus section include cannabis, cocaine, depressants, designer drugs, hallucinogens, inhalants, narcotics, and stimulants. Two pages are provided for notes and a final page, headed "Facts You Cannot Ignore!" lists salient facts on alcohol, AIDS, drugs, and tobacco. (NB)
