Shot of Reality

How much do you know about alcohol?

April is marked as National Alcohol Awareness Month, which began as an annual educational campaign by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence. On April 17th at 4pm we are hosting the educational, but entertaining and comedic, program “A Shot of Reality.” This program is seen to be the number one alcohol awareness program in the country! It is presented by two professional comedians, Patrick and Jillian, who have a realistic, interactive discussion
about the destructive and deadly consequences of alcohol abuse, assault, DUIs, health issues, and more.

This program, best known for its combination of comedy and interactivity as its foundation for building education and knowledge about a serious topic, has been successful in performing for the US NAVY/ARMY and hundreds of colleges. “A Shot of Reality” was created by health professionals, local police, and members of various alcohol rehab programs to bring on a fresh take on a popular topic.The program’s learning objectives include ways to stay safe while drinking, how alcohol works in your body, social media, alcohol abuse, drunk driving, and assault. “A Shot of Reality” uses its virtual set up to its advantage by utilizing live polls to interact with the audience in real time.
Patrick and Jillian’s goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment to talk about this topic by making it clear this program is not a lecture, it’s not a powerpoint, that they’re not going to show us scary photos, they’re not cops, and they’re not our parents!

This program is more like a house party and they’re here to educate us to make sure we get home safely. The number one rule at this party is that you don’t have to drink. If you do decide to take that route, take “a shot” with us and learn about how to drink safely.
