BAC of .021

Last week I attended an FYE event that allowed students to experience what it was like to be drunk without picking up the bottle or can. The Center for Student Involvement set up an activity in the Campus Center allowing students to test "beer goggles". The task was to put on the beer goggles and attempt to walk along a straight line taped on the floor. Following that impossible exercise, I had to throw bean bags into a corn-hole board, trying to make them in the hole. This did not go well. I was way off. The impairment alcohol brings about is very powerful. I could barely walk and see clearly. Following the activities I was handed a pamphlet describing the harmful effects of alcohol. I found this FYE event very informational. I am a visual learner so it was interesting to experience what it was like to be drunk. It is something that I didn't enjoy and made me nauseous. I'll never forget the effects of what alcohol can do to your body. So next time you pick up a beer can, remember the consequences your body will be faced with!
