Capa exterior, izquierda (Outside cover, left side): Diccionario (Dictionary) Tiempo de reacción (Reaction time) Cuando usted bebe alcohol tarda más tiempo en reaccionar. Quizá no pueda evitar-o incluso ver-un coche. (When you drink alcohol, you take longer to react. You might not be able to avoid--or even see--a car.) Medicación (Medication) No beba si ha tomado cualquier tipo de medicamento. Algunos medicamentos reaccionan negativamente con el alcohol. Otros medicamentos pueden aumentar los efectos del alcohol. (Do not drink if you've taken any kind of medication. Some medications react badly with alcohol. Some medications might increase the effects of alcohol.) Amigo (Friend) Si ha estado bebiendo, no camine a casa solo, es mejor ir acompañado por un amigo que esté sobrio. Por lo que pueda pasar. (If you have been drinking, don't walk home alone. It's better to have a sober friend nearby. Just in case..) Capa exterior, derecha (Outside cover, right side): La fotografía muestra dos hombres que salen de un bar y que caminan por la calle. Un coche viene por la calle hacia ellos. Las líneas punteadas en la fotografía marcan la trayectoria proyectada de los hombres y la trayectoria proyectada del vehículo y muestran donde chocarían en caso de accidente. Ese punto es marcado por el contorno de un cuerpo. (The photograph shows two men are leaving a bar and heading for the street in front of them. A car is coming down the street towards them. Dotted lines that arrive at a body outline indicate where the paths of the car and one of the two pedestrians would meet if they continue on their present paths.) ¿Sabía Usted? Cada siete minutos un peatón muere o es grávemente herido en un accidente de tráfico. Casi la mitad de ellos se encuentra bajo la influencia del alcohol. (Did you know? Every seven minutes, a pedestrian is killed or injured in a crash. Almost half are under the influence of alcohol.)

Drinking creates a false sense of security.) El alcohol afecta el modo en que usted piensa. Incluso una pequeña cantidad de alcohol tiene un gran impacto en usted. (Alcohol affects how you think. Even a small drink of alcohol will have an impact on your judgment.) Beba con precaución.
