3 P’s of Alcohol
Through easy-to-understand facts about alcohol, such as the amount of time it takes for alcohol to go from the mouth to the brain, this workshop takes viewers through a journey through the adolescent brain. Why alcohol makes people act differently, stumble around, and struggle to make decisions, are all topics that will be clearly grasped and replicable as simple concepts. Viewers will also know what actions to take if they are in a situation where someone has been rendered unconscious from alcohol. Finally, this workshop will allow viewers to create personal reasons for living an alcohol-free life.
