Straight Talk: The Truth about Alcohol and Sex

Using a unique drama format combined with a documentary style, this video/print package memorably explores the all too common consequences of underage drinking and sexual misconduct. The drama centers around the aftermath of an underage drinking party, recreated through flashbacks of excessive drinking, loosened inhibitions, poor judgment and painful consequences. Stories include a basketball player who date rapes an acquaintance, a girl who binge drinks and loses her virginity to her boyfriend but can’t even remember it the next day, another girl finds herself the subject of “sexting” where risqué images of her were sent via cell phones to students in her school. The program gives viewers an all-too-real glimpse at how alcohol clouds thinking, hinders decision-making skills and creates a dangerous atmosphere for making wise choices. ©2012
