Alcohol Awareness Week


Last week USU Student Health Services held an event for Alcohol Awareness Week to spread awareness about alcohol use. The event was held over the course of two days, October 24th and 25th, and was held in the TSC International Lounge from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There were many booths, each one offering different informational items. There was the opportunity for students to take a pledge to either always have a Designated Driver (DD) or be a DD for their intoxicated friends. USU students take the pledge to show they will always be safe while drinking. There was information about how much alcohol is to much for your body size, what a real serving size of an alcoholic drink is, goggle games, the opportunity to ask further informational questions, and contests to win free movie tickets. Hundreds of students took the pledge, enjoyed treats, did the goggle games, and learned the real facts of alcoholic drinks. By bringing awareness to the USU student body about the dangers of alcohol, the students will be able to practice safe drinking habits now, and in the future. The event was successful, and many pledges were taken. Lots of students became better informed about the risks of drinking, and how it really affects their bodies.
