This week's topics - both close to my heart...

Are you wasting your life online?
Do you (like me) spend LOADS of hours online? Gaming or chatting to mates? Are we missing out on other things or is it making us more skilled or friendly?


What can we do to cut alcoholism?
A heavy one this - but it's so serious it's worth talking about. We as a nation drink too much. There are serious health risks associated to it (I know, 'cause I did the alcohol experiment (check it out here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/alcohol/... ) but we still do it!

Lots of politicians seem to think they know the answers - e.g. putting up the price of alcohol or the age that we can start drinking. So before they get carried away with what's best for us - we should have a say in what we think should be done!

Please take part in the show - it's easier to call in with problems then opinions so we need to hear what you have to say.

Sunday from 10pm on Radio 1

hmmmm spending too much time online id prob say yes to that
as for the alcohol well just putting taxes on it is not going to stop it to me thats just another excuse for getting more money out of the public
its the teens you need to focus on as they are still getting drink far too easy
so i think more education on this and much more tougher restrictions and penalties on shops and bars that serve underage or maybe up the age limit for buying it too

After hearing Aled admit that he got up out of his (presumably) nice, warm, comfortable bed at 3am this morning just to play another bit of some random video game I would say his answer to the above question would have to be 'Yes I am wasting my life online, and I really need to have a word with myself and/or get myself a new boyfriend!'
