Teen drinking has become a major epidemic within college communities. There is too much underage drinking behind closed doors on college campuses. This excess of drinking has led to at least 5,000 deaths per year as we learned in the presentation. Not only is it causing adolescent deaths but it is also causing an increase in risky behaviors. Many teens engage in activities that they normally would not do if they were sober. When drinking, you lose all inhibitions causing you to do unruly things. Some teens become angry when having had too much to drink. This can cause them to fight with others that could possibly severely injure the victim. Sometimes these fights can get out of hand and can result in possible jail time. I knew some of these effects of drinking prior to this presentation but I did not realize how serious this epidemic has become. I think that the group did a wonderful job engaging the audience. They provided many graphs and chart to give us a visual feel for how underage drinking has risen throughout the years. I appreciated the fact that the group took the time to make their presentation visually appealing. It forced the audience to pay attention and really listen to what they had to say. I also enjoyed that for each topic discussed regarding teenage drinking, they had a song that represented that topic. I found that very creative. After watching their presentation it motivated me to add more slides to my presentation to make it more visually appealing.
