🧠 Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant, which means it slows down the function of the brain. Alcohol affects people differently at different stages of life—for children and adolescents, alcohol can interfere with normal brain development.

🎃 Self-Care Sunday: Safe & Spooky Halloween Vibes

Halloween’s coming fast, and it’s the perfect excuse for fun, friends, and a little self-care. Whether you’re planning a costume party, trick-or-treating with younger siblings, or just watching scary movies with your crew, keeping things safe helps the night stay awesome, not awkward.

👻 Plan It, Don’t Wing It
Talk with your friends or family about what’s happening and where. Having a plan means fewer surprises and more time for the fun stuff.

🍬 Skip the Substances, Keep the Vibe
Drugs and alcohol kill the mood fast. The best memories come from laughing at goofy costumes, eating way too much candy, and staying present for the fun.

🧡 Host Your Own Hangout
Not feeling the party scene? Create your own. Set up a backyard movie marathon, a costume contest, or a pumpkin carving challenge. You make the rules, and it’s still a blast.

🌙 Recharge the Next Day
Halloween can be wild. Sleep in, grab breakfast with friends, and scroll through all the ridiculous photos. That’s self-care too.

Keep it fun. Keep it safe!

FACT ℹ️ : Vapes are an aerosol. Certain chemicals have to be in any liquid that is v**ed in order for it to work properly. Additional chemicals are created once the liquid is heated, like formaldehyde
