Do
you think drinking a sports drink will make you
a better athlete? What about if you wear the coolest
new hair gel—will everyone stop and check you
out?
These
are examples of expectations—what we think
will happen. We get expectations about lots
of things from lots of sources, including friends,
family, celebrities, and advertising.
Everyone
has expectations when they think about trying
something new, but will those things really happen?
Sometimes expectations are right on, but often
they are totally off, especially when you're
talking about alcohol.
