This programme focuses on four young people, each with a story to tell about their personal experience of alcohol, and how it can change a person's life.
- Marcio arrived from Angola with his grandmother three years ago; following her death he turned to drink, looking to forget his problems
- Tasha contracted a sexually transmitted infection after drinking too much at a party
- Curtis damaged his chances for a career as a professional snooker player by drinking too much
- Becky struggled with alcoholism through her teenage years
All of them have learned from their experience, and have something to offer to the viewers of Alcohol Stories.
