Truth About Drinking DVD (Teen Files)



Show teens who are current drinkers what the future may hold for them if they continue to drink. They will experience the potential consequences of alcohol use from every perspective, including how drinking impairs a person's coordination, vision, and reaction time; how the brain and other organs suffer lasting damage from alcohol use; how a drunk person really drives; and how drinking can lead to spending months in a rehabilitation center.

This 30-minute DVD is part of the Teen Files Series (004DS) and provides substantial support to Health and Life Skills units on behavioral choices and personal health. The program culminates in a realistic simulation of the "deaths" of three participants who got into a car with a fourth who was driving drunk. The teens watch their parents' reaction to the news. The driver is then "booked" and sent to prison. The three victims visit the coroner's office to learn of the fatal injuries each suffered in the crash. Finally, the foursome attend the funerals of the three who "died" in the crash and listen as their parents read farewell tributes to their children. For grades 6-12.
