We will also had a "Lunch and Learn" time for all students with Texas A&M University: Watch UR BAC (blood alcohol concentration).  Students were able to rotate through 2 areas during lunch time where received information about the effects of alcohol.  They were able to wear goggles that simulate the effects of alcohol and try to perform various tasks.    
  • Driving Simulator: While wearing fatal vision goggles, which distort vision, an interactive simulators shows participants the very real and often fatal consequences of poor choices that are made while impaired or distracted and driving
  • Bean Bag Toss area:  While wearing fatal vision goggles, which distort vision, student attempt to toss the bean bag to hit the hole in the board.
