Keg Party

Unsupervised and illegal keg parties where beer runs like water are becoming an increasing problem as well as a growing health risk for today’s teenagers. This powerful drama about one such party is sure to resonate with students. Gary’s parents are away for the weekend and he has invited half of the school over for an all-you-can-drink party. David is not sure about bringing Lauren, his younger sister, especially after what happened last year, but he figures she is old enough to take care of herself. Langston also comes to the party in hopes of finally getting up the courage to ask Christine out. The beer, at first, seems to help everyone let loose and have a good time, but before long it is clear that things are spiraling out of control. Before the evening is out, one of the young women finds herself in a dangerous sexual situation, one couple gets into a serious car accident and another student dies needlessly of alcohol poisoning. Realistic, gritty and honest, this video drama will leave your classroom with the strong message that keg parties are not just dangerous and illegal, they are not even fun. An equally powerful teacher’s resource book augments and extends the video’s lessons with fact sheets, student activities, role plays and a wealth of information.
