Binge Drinking: The Rite of Passage

Created by: Solano County Office of Education and Timeline Media Productions
Year: 2008
Length: 30 minutes

This 2 disk set includes the 30 minute movie, a movie trailer, a poster, and educational materials. These materials include curriculum to be read, activities to participate in over a 2-hour period, pre- and post-tests.

This is a good video, very recent (one setting has an Obama 2008 sticker in the background). This video would be appropriate for 9th-12th grade to college aged students--exciting since relevant videos for this age group are rare.

This one relies a lot on adult testimonies (doctors, parents, alcohol prevention professionals). Is California-centric (specifically central/northern). Shows a story from Chico State, so great local relevance for us.

5 Youth viewed this video. They were 1 male and 4 females, ranging in age from 15 to 17.

They felt that the video could be appropriate for 7th-12th graders, that they liked the youth testimonies, as they were glad to see youth telling the truth about their usage and how it affected them.

One young person was confused by the PSA shown within the video about binge drinking, and was still dissatisfied with it after a discussion about it.

They felt it rather appropriate for parents, so they can see the dangers of providing alcohol to youth.
