TO BE A RIGHT OF PASSAGE FOR
COLLEGE STUDENTS.
COLLEGE STUDENTS. KEEP IN MIND THE MAJORITY OF
THE STUDENT POPULATION IS
UNDERAGE.
UNDERAGE.
UNDERAGE. EVEN SO, RECENT TRENDS ARE
GOING BEYOND GETTING DRUNK.
SOME STUDENTS DIE, OTHERS ARE
VICTIMIZED BECAUSE THEY CAN'T
FEND FOR THEMSELVES.
JOINING US FOR INFORMATIONS YOU
NEED TO HAVE WITH YOUR KIDS
ABOUT DRINKING, JOINING US.
GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING. I REMEMBER VIVIDLY BEING IN A
BAR WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE AND A
GIRL SAID I AM SO WASTED.
A GUY TURNED AROUND AND SAID
THAT MEANS ONE OF US IS GOING
TO GET LUCKY.
WHEN YOU DRINK IN EXCESS, AND
WE SAW THIS WITH THE CABINOT
HEARINGS.
HEARINGS.
HEARINGS. THINGS CAN HAPPEN.
IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN
LEARN IS MITIGATE YOUR
CIRCUMSTANCES AS MUCH AS YOU
CAN.
CAN.
CAN. LET'S START WITH THE FACT THEY
SHOULDN'T BE DRINKING.
>> RIGHT, ABSOLUTELY.
WE HAVE A FOUR PART MISSION
STATEMENT.
STATEMENT. ONE BEING PREVENTION OF
UNDERAGE DRINKING.
UNDERAGE DRINKING. WE GO OUT AND TALK ABOUT
CONSEQUENCES.
CONSEQUENCES. BIOLOGY TELLS US WE SHOULDN'T
CONSUME UNTIL WE'RE 21.
SO MANY BE ANY WAYS.
WE HAVE A COLLEGE PROGRAM.
IT'S AN INTERESTING DEMOGRAPHIC
OF PEOPLE 21 AND OVER.
WE'RE TRYING TO HIT BOTH.
>> I WAS ON THE BOARD OF
MOTHERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING.
WE LOOKED AT VIDEO TAPES THAT
PEOPLE HAD TAKEN.
THEY HAD TAKEN GIRLS OUTSIDE ON
THE LAWN HALF DRESSED.
WHEN YOU ADD ALCOHOL IN EXCESS,
THEN POOR DECISION CAN BE MADE.
>> WE RECOMMEND START THE
CONVERSATIONS EARLY.
CONVERSATIONS EARLY. EARLY, EARLY, EARLY.
WE DO IT IN OUR OWN HOUSEHOLD.
WHY IS DRINKING SUCH A BIG DEAL
IN YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IT IN
MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL.
WHERE ARE WE TELLING YOU IT'S
BAD FOR YOU?
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU?
THOSE CONVERSATIONS CONTINUE IN
COLLEGE.
COLLEGE.
COLLEGE. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO BE IN A
POSITION YOU CAN'T MAKE YOUR
OWN DECISIONS?
OWN DECISIONS? YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER YOUR
BODY?
BODY?
BODY? YOU'RE DEPENDENT ON STRANGERS,
THE STUDENTS AROUND YOU THAT
ARE NOT THERE FOR YOUR WELL
BEING.
BEING.
BEING. TO
BEING. TO SAY I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT
HAPPENED THE NEXT MORNING.
YOU WAKE UP SICK AND DON'T
REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED.
IT'S MORE THANK JUST DON'T
DRINK.
DRINK.
DRINK. TALK ABOUT THE PSYCHOLOGY AND
THE FACT IT'S NOT FUN.
IT'S NOT GOING TO GET YOU
ANYWHERE.
ANYWHERE.
ANYWHERE. YOU'RE SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR
BEING VICTIMIZED, RAPED, OR
SOMETHING ELSE.
SOMETHING ELSE. >> IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO THERE,
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A DESIGNATED
DRIVER THESE DAYS.
WE HAVE RIDE SERVICES.
HAVE A DESIGNATED PARTY GOER.
THE PERSON THAT'S NOT GOING TO
DRINK AND GOING TO LOOK OUT FOR
YOU.
YOU.
YOU. I
YOU. I REMEMBER VIVIDLY A PARTY MY
FRIEND SAID YOU GO AHEAD AND
GO, I'M HAVING A GOOD TIME.
SHE WAS THERE WITH EIGHT GUYS.
SHE GOES YOU GO.
I'M HAVING A GREAT TIME.
WE GOT IN A FIGHT OVER IT.
YOU MAY LOSE A FRIEND OVER IT,
BUT YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT
PERSON GETS THERE SAFE IF
YOU'RE DESIGNATED TO LOOK OVER
THEM.
THEM.
THEM. WE
THEM. WE CAME INTO THE SEGMENT WITH A
STORY ABOUT HAZING WHICH IS ONE
OF THE THINGS LAWS HAVE CHANGE
ADD CROSS THE COUNTRY WHEN IT
COMES TO THAT BECAUSE OFTEN
SOMETIMES SOMEBODY CAN DIE.
IT DOESN'T MEAN IT DOESN'T
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN. LET PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHAT
HAZING -- THE CONSEQUENCES OF
DOING IT.
DOING IT.
DOING IT. >> SURE.
>> SURE.
>> SURE. A LOT OF PEOPLE TEND TO THINK
WELL IT'S OKAY IF I DRINK
BECAUSE I'M NOT DRIVING.
WHAT WE DO SEE IS A THIRD OF
UNDERAGE ALCOHOL FATALITIES DO
HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH A
VEHICLE.
VEHICLE.
VEHICLE. TWO-THIRDS HAVE NOTHING TO DO
WITH A CAR CRASH.
>> ALCOHOL POISONING.
>> IT IS SOMETHING A LOT OF
PEOPLE DON'T THINK ABOUT.
74% OF TEENS SAY THEIR PARENTS
ARE NUMBER ONE INFLUENCE WHEN
IT COMES TO DRUGS AND ALCOHOL.
HAVING CONVERSATIONS, LETTING
THEM KNOW IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT
NOT DRINKING AND DRIVING, BUT
THE ALCOHOL POISON, HAZING,
OTHER RISKS YOU PUT YOURSELF AT
RISK FOR IN THOSE SITUATIONS.
>> HAZING IS ILLEGAL.
>> IT'S ABSOLUTELY ILLEGAL.
THE FRATERNITY AND SORORITY CAN
BE HELD LIABLE.
WE'VE GOT TO EDUCATE THAT IT'S
JUST AN ILLEGAL PRACTICE, CAN'T
HAPPEN ON OR OFF CAMPUS.
KIDS SHOULD NOT ENGAGE.
IT'S NOT THE BE ALL AND END ALL
TO BELONG TO A FRATERNITY OR
SORORITY AND PUT YOUR LIVES ON
THE LINE TO JOIN THESE GROUPS.
IT'S OKAY TO CALL PEOPLE OUT
AND SAY I'M NOT WILLING TO GO
THERE AND PARTICIPATE ON THIS.
>> GOOD NEWS IS WE ARE SEEING
FRIENDS CHANGE AMONG THE KID
POPULATION WHEN IT COMES TO HOW
THEY SEE DRINKING IN ACCESS.
>> WITH RIDE SHARING APPS LIKE
YOU CANNER UBER AND LYFT, IT'S
CONVENIENT.
CONVENIENT. NUMBERS ARE GOING DOWN.
STILL EVEN ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES
IT'S RAMPANT SOMETIMES.
>> PEOPLE GO WE'VE ALWAYS DONE
IT, RIGHT OF PASSAGE, WHAT WE
ALL DO.
ALL DO.
ALL DO. >> IT'S A DIFFERENT WORLD WITH
SOCIAL MEDIA AND TYPES OF
PEOPLE YOU'RE EXPOSED TO.
I THINK YOU PROTECT YOURSELF,
BE SMART AT ALL TIMES.
AT ANY MOMENT IN YOUR MOMENT OF
UTTER WEAKNESS.
UTTER WEAKNESS. YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER WHAT
YOUR SAYING, WHAT YOUR WEARING
WHAT YOUR TAKING OFF.
YOU HAVE SOMEBODY TAKING
PICTURES OF YOU.
THOSE CAN LIVE ON FOREVER.
>> THOSE CAN GET YOU KICKED OUT
OF COLLEGE OR MAKE IT TO WHERE
YOU DON'T GET JOBS.
WHEN I SAID KID POPULATION, WE
DON'T TALK TO KIDS WHEN THEY'RE
HEADING OFF TO COLLEGE.
WE TALK TO THEM WHEN MUCH
YOUNGER.
YOUNGER.
YOUNGER. >> VERY IMPORTANT.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
