Learning Objective: Describe the effects of legal drugs
Keywords: alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, stimulant, depressant
George Best played for Manchester United in the 1960’s.
He suffered from alcoholism for most of his
adult life, leading to numerous controversies and, eventually, his death.
In 1981, while playing in the United States, Best stole money from the handbag of a woman he did not know in
order to fund a drinking session. "We were sitting in a bar on the beach, and when she got up to go to the
toilet I leaned over and took all the money she had in her bag."
In 1984, Best received a three-month prison sentence for drunk driving, assaulting a police officer and
failing to answer bail. He spent Christmas of 1984 behind bars and turned out as a player for Ford Open
Prison.
In September 1990, Best appeared on an edition of primetime BBC chat show Wogan in which he was
heavily drunk and swore, at one point saying to the host, "Terry, I like screwing". He later apologised and
said this was one of the worst episodes of his alcoholism.
Best was diagnosed with severe liver damage in March 2000. He was also admitted to hospital with
pneumonia in May 2001. In August 2002, he had a successful liver transplant at King's College Hospital in
London. The transplant was performed at public expense on the NHS, a decision which was controversial
due to Best's alcoholism. The controversy was reignited in 2003 when he was spotted openly drinking
white wine spritzers.
On 2 February 2004, Best was convicted of another drunk driving offence and banned from driving for 20
months.
Best continued to drink, and was sometimes seen at his local pub in Surbiton, Greater London. On 3 October
2005 Best was admitted to intensive care at the private Cromwell Hospital in London, suffering from a
kidney infection caused by the side effects of immuno-suppressive drugs used to prevent his body from
rejecting his transplanted liver. On 27 October, newspapers stated that Best was close to death and had sent
a farewell message to his loved ones. Best's condition improved at first, but deteriorated again in November. On
20 November the British tabloid News of the World published a picture of Best at his own request, showing him
in his hospital bed, along with what was reported to be his final message: "Don't die like me".
In the early hours of 25 November 2005 treatment was stopped; he eventually died, aged 59, after a battle that
lasted longer than doctors had expected, as a result of a lung infection and multiple organ failure.

of the governments revenue.

Cost to smokers
Currently, a 20-a-day smoker of a premium cigarette brand will spend about £2,600 a year on
cigarettes. Estimates for the total amount spent on tobacco in the UK in 2011 range from £15.3
billion to £18.3 billion.
Smokers also pay with their health: the results from a 50 year study shows that half to two
thirds of all lifelong cigarette smokers will be eventually killed by their habit.
Death is usually due to one of the three major diseases caused by smoking - lung cancer,
chronic obstructive lung disease and coronary heart disease. Many who suffer from these
diseases experience years of ill-health and subsequent loss of productivity. One study
concluded that smokers face a significantly higher chance of early retirement due to
chronic disease.
Cost to Society
Research commissioned by ASH has shown that the cost to the NHS of treating diseases
caused by smoking is approximately £2.7 billion a year. Another study put the estimated cost as
high as £5.2 billion.
A report by the Policy Exchange in 2010 estimated the total cost to society of smoking to be
£13.74 billion. This includes the £2.7bn cost to the NHS but also the loss in productivity from
smoking breaks (£2.9bn) and increased absenteeism (£2.5bn). Other costs include: cleaning up
cigarette butts (£342 million), the cost of fires (£507m), the loss of economic output from the
death of smokers (£4.1bn) and passive smokers (£713m).
However, it is also estimated that about £380 million a year is being saved by the NHS as a
result of public health strategies such as the ban on tobacco advertising and the creation of
the stop smoking services which have resulted in fewer people smoking.

Legal drugs
Caffeine
Caffeine is an addictive drug that stimulates the
central nervous system and makes a person feel more
energetic. Many of its effects are negative though. It
increases the blood flow through the kidneys, which
produces more urine. Large doses increase the risk of
heart attacks, can cause restlessness, sleeplessness,
nervousness, excitement, palpitations and diarrhoea.
The amount of caffeine in tea or coffee can vary
greatly- it can contain between 30-200mgt. Caffeine is
unlikely to cause permanent damage.
Explain the effects of caffeine.

How can drug addicts be helped?
 Replacement drug therapies- addicts can be helped
to get over withdrawal symptoms from addictive
drugs, eg nicotine patches, methadone etc.
 Counselling- support and guidance may help people
resolve issues which led them to drugs.
 Voluntary self-help- groups like Alcoholics
Anonymous are made up with people who have first
hand experience of addiction. Members support
each other.
 Rehabilitation centres- specialist units run by health
care professionals. These may be residential and
use a range of treatments, therapies and
counselling.
 Charity organisations- many who work with poor
and homeless also help addicts
