Dosage

Alcohol is a drug. Many other drugs have prescribes dosages, so how are they regulated and presented?


In pre measured sachets 
[Heat welded plastics]

Much like milk you get in tea rooms etc.



And Old School sweets like Sherbet Sticks


As well as sauces

And good old Capri Sun



By measuring


But you already get things like that for drink in 
bars pubs and clubs: and no ones going to want 
to use one at home or at a party...

Capsules and pills


Most drugs are inside soluble capsules then protectively packaged 
or in raw pill form and packaged in the same way


Chewing gum has also been packaged in this manner which can 
be dangerous if you get them mixed up


In syringes


I think it's interesting to note that if alcohol had to be injected (safely and on a controlled manner and all that jazz). Would you still do it. People say that drinking is more socially acceptable than smoking because you don't have the same intrusive visual or physical effects. In the interviews i conducted when we were speaking about drugs every single person said they would never go as far as injecting a drug. Someone else also said they believed it was more socially acceptable to smoke than take drugs because you don't look twice at someone walking down the street with a cigarette in their mouth but you would if they were injecting something... So if alcohol was injectable, would you do it?

Liquid Packaging





Reminds me of the ice-poles you used to get when
 you were little that were all strung together and then 
the top bit like a twist and squeeze bottle
