(Worcester, MA – April 8, 2003) As part of a nationwide effort to address the serious problem of binge drinking on and off college campuses, Worcester State College will hold an Alcohol Screening Day. Here, students, faculty, and staff will participate in a mock roadside sobriety test using the very popular “Beer Goggles,” as well as receive educational information, or speak one-on-one with a member of the counseling staff. The student organization, BACCHUS, will provide Mocktails (non-alcoholic drinks) while the Counseling Department will also offer a brief written screening that participants can complete and have evaluated by a member of the staff. National Alcohol Screening Day is designed to raise public awareness about the consequences of at-risk drinking and alcohol’s effect on general health. The program addresses a range of drinking behaviors from risky drinking to alcohol dependence (http://www.mentalhealthscreening.org/alcohol.htm).
