Helping inform students so that they can make good choices and drink responsibly was the main focus at MCC-Maple Woods' Alcohol Awareness Day, sponsored by campus life and leadership. The Missouri Highway Patrol was on hand with what was left of a smashed up vehicle and a rollover simulator to show students the harsh consequences of making poor decisions - like drinking and driving.
Students were also able to test the consequences for themselves - safely, of course. Students put on "drunk goggles" and tried to navigate their ways through the Highway Patrol's sobriety tests and an obstacle course. Walking around ordinary object like large blue trashcans was more difficult than any expected, kicking a soccer ball proved nearly impossible and walking in the straight line test administered by the patrolman was extremely shaky.
