I Many\nof them will face the problem of adopting or avoiding a social\ncustom whicr they may have been told is dangerous but which\nseems to be acceptable to a large number of citizens.\nThe programme will present, through all available media and\nin a factual, impersonal and positive manner, the latest available\nscientific findings concerning alcohol.\nIn presnting this education definite steps will be taken in\nrespect-to the following:\nNot to convey the Impression that moderate or temperate prinking\nis a worthy habit for(young people.\nNot to undermine the influence of an essentially good home in\nwh'ch   aloohol is useU.\nover-emphasis,  exhortation or other\nREVE\nOttawa\nNot  to use exaggeration,\nsimilar approaches.
