Jordan’s experience of drinking alcohol

Duration: 07:21

Jordan tells how an evening of drinking alcohol led to a sequence of events that changed his life. At the time, he set out just wanting to have a good time, but after his experience with alcohol, his attitude to drinking has changed significantly.

18-year-old Jordan drank over half a bottle of neat brandy, just to look cool. He nearly killed himself as a consequence.

The effect of alcohol on Jordan is explored through scientific analysis and highlights how behaviour can change dramatically when drinking. This is shown through interviews, reconstructions and scientific graphics.
