How To Write A One-Paragraph Summary Page 3

In “Here’s to Your Health,” Joan Dunayer describes

how advertisers spend big money promoting lies about

alcohol. To begin with, they suggest that alcohol is an

indication of professional success. However, the fact is

that heavy drinkers actually perform worse at work and

in school. Another lie is that drinking makes you sexy.

The truth is that alcohol use can lead to infertility and

impotence. Then there is the myth that alcohol and

athletics are a great combination. Certainly we observe

this connection on every sports broadcast. However,

any athlete can tell you that alcohol hinders

coordination and slows you down. Finally, the alcohol

industry wants us to believe that drinking promotes

family togetherness and happiness. What they don’t

tell you is that it is the leading cause of domestic

violence, crime, suicide, and abuse. How ironic it is that

we toast one another, “To Your Health!”
