Hi all,

We're working with some people from the Drink Aware Trust who have a website currently live -

http://www.truthaboutbooze.com/

They'd love it anyone could take a look at the website and feedback in this thread on what you thought of it?

Cheers peeps,

    Theres a typo on the 'FAQ' - the effects of alcohol page.

    There is also on in the 'what is a hangover' bit of that page.

    There's also another on the 'Stuff about Drinking' quiz page.

    One of the quiz questions is wrong, none of the options for 'What happens to alcohol once it's in your body?' are technically right.

    It's a good idea.

    Just looking through it...

    http://www.truthaboutbooze.com/index.php?option=com_yourstories&Itemid=3

    The dots on the "your stories" page makes it impossible to read it. Edited to say the second time I loaded it the dots were mucher lighter and I could read it.

    Also on the same page the black font on blue background on the right hand side ("more stories") is hard to read.

    Question three on the quiz has some funny symbols in it.

    I'm not an expert on alcahol so I can't comment about how right the facts are.

    I like this site and the layout looks well designed and I think it is something all schools should go on. I think it is user friendly and I think just about even a monkey can browse through the site problem-free.

    But I noticed something I'm not sure should be corrected or not.

    "What can happen when drink gets out of control. Read, add and comment on real life stories."

    Does the bit in bold make any sense?

    Quiz
    3. Are these safe amounts of alcohol the same for under 18â??s?

    What happens to alcohol once itâ??s in your body?



    Other than that I quite like the layout and stuff
