This documentary-style program focuses on the consequences of the high-risk activities young people engage in while intoxicated. Unwanted sex, date rape and assault are three of the most common outcomes of excessive drinking. Interviews with a counselor and a district attorney center on the personal and legal consequences of teenage drinking. Victims of violence and teenage perpetrators discuss how alcohol use played a part in their predicament.
