Below you will find the first 10 warning labels that are to be introduced on all bottles of alcohol from the start of 2010. It is a move that has been gathering pace over recent years after the success of similar warning labels on packs of cigarettes. Will it stop people from consuming as much alcohol as before? Probably not, but it could stop them from doing as many stupid things while under the influence of the demon drink.

Ah, so that explains it all. That feeling the morning after the night before, right after the hangover has gone away, the memory is telling you that you were the life and soul of the party. There is some truth in that. But not in the way you think. What you thought was people laughing with you was actually people laughing at you. Blame the alcohol even though it did warn you.

Despite the fact that most people know that this can happen through the effect of drinking alcohol, it is still surprising how many people don’t take heed. Fortunately, this handy warning could be staring you in the face as you partake in some bottles of beer. Just a shame that the more you drink the more likely the chances are of forgetting this warning. You have been warned.

It seems to be a trigger. You open your eyes the next day and scan the room. Sitting in the middle of the floor is a traffic cone, it starts to bring the memory flooding back. Or does it? More likely that your hangover takes over now and no matter how much thought you put in to it, you still can’t quite remember how that traffic cone got there. Look on the bright side though, it could have been something a lot worse.

Unexplained rug burns on your forehead? Unexplained no more, it all comes down to the alcohol consumed apparently. As for rug burns on any other part of your body, there is a high chance that is because of the alcohol as well. It may be prudent to keep this warning in mind.

This one is not so much of a problem when everyone else in your near vicinity is also drinking. They will believe they are whispering when they are actually shouting also, but when you are all in the same boat it isn’t so bad. Be careful though when you have left the bar you are and start conversing with sober people (whether it is the kebab shop owner or the taxi driver).

Quite obvious advice this one, if you can’t dance when you are sober then you won’t be able to when under the influence of alcohol. In fact, you are likely to be worse. Keep that in mind before downing some alcohol and making your way to the dance-floor to do your best John Travolta impersonation.

There is nothing worse than listening to someone tell you the same story over and over and over again just because they are having some alcohol. Made worse though when they forgot they told you it in the first place and then repeat it when they are sober.

Why not leave your phone at home? Why not just switch it off? If neither of those are options, just keep in mind that what you think is a good idea under the influence of alcohol, is probably not a good idea at all. It is true that no ex wants to hear from you, especially at ridiculous times in the morning.

Another fault that can be attributed to the demon drink. The more alcohol you consume, the smarter you believe yourself to be and the more you want everyone else to know it. What, at the time, in your head, sounds like a very clever thing to say just comes across as utter rubbish to the person listening (and the drool coming out your mouth is not a very pleasing sight either.

How true, how true. The more alcohol you consume, the bigger you feel, the more macho you feel. You can take on anyone who dares do anything you don’t like and you are not quick to tell them so. Only problem is though, they are in fact twice the size of you and would squash you like a fly. You have been warned.
