It’s nice waking up next to someone you KNOW. You don’t need alcohol to have fun. Remembering the fun you had last night is better than hearing it from another drunk. Mornings are rough enough! Passed out is one step away from an encounter with the Grim Reaper. 17 BURG PEER E DU CATI ON NETWORK How To Stop A Friend… …from Driving Impaired If a friend or someone you know has been drinking while at a party or “out on the town,” they shouldn’t drive, so please prevent them from doing so. Many people believe that coffee, a cold shower, or fresh air is all that’s needed to overcome the effects of alcohol. In truth, time is the only way to get alcohol out of the system. If a friend of yours has been drinking, he or she shouldn’t drive. There are steps you can take to keep a friend alive. • Be proactive. Talk with your friends before they go out. Pick a designated driver, arrange for a sober driver to pick you up, or bring enough money for a cab or public transportation. • Politely, but firmly, tell them you cannot let them drive home because you care. The first time you do this will be the toughest, but your actions could save your friend’s life or that of an innocent victim. • Drive your friend home. You’re having a party and one of your friends has had too much to drink and should not drive. To be sure your friend arrives home safely, you can drive him or her yourself, if you haven’t also been drinking. • Call a cab. If you can’t drive your friend home, you can call a cab. You may want to pay the fare in advance. That’s one way to show you really care. • Have your friend sleep over. Asking a guest to sleep over is another good way to keep a friend from driving. You won’t have to drive and your friend won’t have to return the next day for the car. • Take the keys away. Here are some hints on how to get the keys from a drunken person before he or she can drive: > Be calm. Joke about it. Make light of it. > Make it clear that you’re doing him a favor by taking their keys. > Find the keys while he is distracted and take them away. They’ll probably think they’ve lost them and will be forced to let someone else drive. > If it is a close friend, be soft and calm. Speak to him or her privately and suggest that they let someone else drive, or take a cab or a bus. > If it is a good friend, spouse, or loved one, refuse to get in the car with them.

ZONE RED ZONE RED The start of fall semester marks the beginning of Red Zone, and various organizations on campus and in the community are making an effort to spread awareness and prevention of rape and sexual assault. The Red Zone is the time period between the start of the school year and Thanksgiving Break when women are at the highest risk for sexual assault. “In football, the red zone is often referred to as the last 20 yards before a touchdown,” said Janet Osborne, Women’s Center for Lifelong Learning director. “In the zone, it’s a critical time to make great gains or great losses, much like the Red Zone is a critical time on college campuses when women, especially freshmen women, are most at risk for sexual assault or date rape.” 20 B U RG PEER EDUC AT ION N E T W ORK Signs of Alcohol Poisoning • Is unconscious and cannot be awakened. • Has cold, clammy, unusually pale, or bluish skin. • Is breathing irregularly – less than eight times a minute or with ten seconds or more between two consecutive breaths. • Vomits while passed out and does not wake up during or afterward.
