Act out less: Stop drinking

The biggest duh statement yet: "Alcohol is known to cause an increase in impulsive behavior in individuals, which can not only be dangerous for themselves, but for others as well."

Well, no shit Sherlock. Alcohol lowers your inhibitions, and can bring out the wild man or the angry person in you. It can make you act without forethought, as well, as proved by this study. But it's always nice to remind people of this fact. When you drink, you might just do something stupid.

At a meeting last night a woman talked about how she wanted to stop ending up in places and with people she didn't want to. She kept waking up from blackouts with gashes on her car that she didn't know where they came from. Drinking can make you do all sorts of things you didn't think you were capable of or never wanted to do. Ah, the inhibition lowerer. I know that's not a word.
