Alcohol and Other Drugs

Scenario: Choose Your Limits (Part II)

Ineffective Example

CHARLIE: (excited) That's what I'm talking about.

KEVIN: Let's get it.

CHARLIE: Okay, I see some people dancing, beer pong, or we can just chill on the steps for a bit. What do you wanna do?

COACH: This scenario lets you practice interacting in a group environment with alcohol. Right now, large gatherings are dangerous due to their ability to spread COVID 19. These strategies are transferable and can be used in smaller environments as well. Please follow your school's protocols about meeting up with other people.

EMMA: (Emma and Charlie stand on one side of the beer pong table. Kevin isn't around.)

CHARLIE: It's on like beer pong.

EMMA: I see what you did there.

CHARLIE: Wanna set up?

EMMA: Yeah, but I'm definitely not gonna drink out of the cups that the ball has gone in after being on the ground. And I don't wanna drink like six beers.

CHARLIE: We wouldn't play with six whole beers, but, but that's fair. Uh, we can put water in the cups, and then just drink beer on the side?

EMMA: We got this. Les drink 'em under the dang table.

CHARLIE: Un. Freaking. Stoppable.

COACH: You played beer pong with alcohol, and you've already chosen to drink earlier in the night. It can be difficult to keep track of how much you drink while playing a drinking game. A game like beer pong can add up to multiple standard drinks.
