- Skit
To discourage alcoholism-
A student talks to alcoholic person who is unwell- alcohol is spoiling his
health. It's ruining his family. It is damaging his organs. The student
wants to destroy the alcohol and change alcohol into water. The student
says I've got super powers to do so. See, I'm changing alcohol into
water:
Before demonstration: Take a transparent glass (made of glass or plastic)
take water, add few drops of tincture iodine- this solution looks like
alcohol; Take another glass of water, add sodium thiosulphate crystals,
this looks like normal water.
Demonstration: Keep adding normal looking thiosulphate water to
alcohol looking tincture iodine water. The tincture iodine water gets
discoloured.
