DRINKING GAMES, ALCOHOL ABUSE AND OVERDOSE

Drinking games—wild fun, right? This award-winning program points out the dire consequences of binge drinking disguised as drinking games: falls, drownings, sexual assaults, unwanted pregnancies, comas, and even death. An emergency room doctor, a brain scan specialist, a reformed teen drinker, and the parents of a boy who died of acute alcohol poisoning during his very first drinking game share their specialized knowledge and personal perspectives about the harmful effects and consequences of drinking. The disc includes a 45-page teacher’s guide with learning objectives, program summary, and printable activity handouts and fact sheets. Grades 8 and up. Closed captioned. Color. 23 minutes.
