Two brain and alcohol researchers take students on an eye-opening video field trip using MRIs and PET scans to graphically show alcohol damage in the brain. Using 3-D images of the brain, the researchers describe what happens as drink after drink is consumed, causing the brain to ultimately shut down the autonomic nervous system, causing death. A young teenage girl who was sexually assaulted during a Spring Break drinking binge presents her painful story. Features an interview with the parent of a student who died from alcohol poisoning while partying with his friends. Alternative alcohol-free Spring Break trips are also featured such as building housing for needy families.
