• Summarize the central idea of the overview in one or two sentences IN YOUR OWN WORDS.  Drinking alcohol isn't necessarily bad as people use it to have a good time.  However many people use it incorrectly as they drink and drive, resort to crime and become alcoholics.
• List two to four specific details that support the central idea IN YOUR OWN WORDS.  Moderate drinking can help a person's heart.  Although moderate drinking can be beneficial, excessive drinking can be detrimental to a person's liver.  Alcohol abuse can lead to addiction. Only a drink per day should be drank.
• Create an opportunity for further research by writing down two questions the text raises about the central idea (explicitly or implicitly). Explicit means stated clearly and in detail, leaving no room for confusion or doubt, while implicit means implied though not plainly expressed.  Can a drink per day really benefit a person?  When is it enough alcohol?

• Write one question about the overview that you can pose to your peers in a discussion.  Do you guys drink and if you do, do you know your limits?
