'Party' Teaches Teens Reality LOCAL NEWS November 18, 2009 ‘Party’ teaches teens reality By Kasey Fowler, Staff Writer POND CREEK — “Make it stop. Make it stop. Make it stop.” Make it stop, was the message Wednesday evening during a “Reality Party” in Pond Creek. Local teens por- trayed a typical teenage drinking party in a home. The idea of the staged drama was to encourage parents to help reduce teen drinking and push for a social host ordinance in Grant County. Concerned parents were able to walk through a portrayal of a typical high school party scene. The party began with teenagers hanging out with beers. Soon the partygoers were encouraging a girl to chug a beer using a beer bong, a funnel with a tube attached used to consume beer as quickly as possible. “Chug, chug, chug ...,” the group chanted as a boy emptied a beer into the bong. The party moved into another room and partygoers began playing drinking games. First up was beer pong, a game with a triangle of beer filled cups at each end of table. Players bounce ping pong balls across the table trying to get the ball into the other player’s cups. If the ball goes into the cup, the player whose cup it lands in must drink. “Things get pretty competitive at these parties,” said the leader of the tour, as partygoers played another drink- ing game, and a boy asked who dared him to drink the entire bottle of vodka. The party spilled out into the pool area where a keg was set up. The partygoers encouraged a girl to do a keg stand. A couple of boys lifted the girl’s legs up so she was upside down, while another partygoer put the keg spout in the girl’s mouth to drink. Once inside again, the party had calmed down because several of the teenagers had passed out around the room. An older man wandered through the party, he turned to the group of onlookers and said, “I bet you are wondering who I am. Your 17-year-old daughter thinks I’m a teen from Enid, so I got the address to the party.” As he sat down by a passed out teenage and began to stroke her hair, he added, “Don’t worry, I won’t hurt her. I’m a lover not a fighter.” Onlookers moved into a dark bedroom where teens talked about the sexual decisions they made while drunk. One boy said he had sex with his best friend, Allison, when he was drunk. He said he didn’t even remember. He found out at school the next week. A girl said she remembered her clothes being taken off but not much else. She said she is glad she doesn’t remember what happened. Back in the living room of the house, the host of the party, a mother of one of the teenage girls, walked through with a bowl of keys, making sure no one drinks and drives. There was a knock on the door, as the host opened the door a police officer entered. “Is this your house?” the officer asked. He pointed out there are several underage people drinking. “They are going to drink anyway. At least they are safe here,” the host replied. Teens began running out of another room crying, “He’s not breathing.” One of the partygoers wasn’t breathing and the officer ran to attend to the unresponsive teen. “Make it stop. Make it stop. Make it stop,” the group began chanting. The group told the onlookers they need to take action to stop teen drinking parties. Following the tour, the parents were given an opportunity for discussion with a representative from local agen- cies. “As adults, we say we did that as kids and we made it through. That is the problem,” said Sean Byrne, execu- tive director of United Way of Enid and Northwest Oklahoma. “Looking back at your high school class, there is always one that isn’t around now, that didn’t make it.” The “Reality Party’s” message was about implementing a social host ordinance in Grant County. “The whole state is trying to get as many social host ordinances passed as possible. Since Garfield County al- ready has one, we decided to do it in Grant County,” said Tammy Grantz, Prevention Workz executive direc- tor. According to Grantz, 78 communities in Oklahoma have passed social host ordinances. A social host ordi- nance holds ac-countable any person who knowingly hosts or allows a party where youth are consuming alco- holic beverages. This type of ordinance addressed the place underage drinking occurs, not the furnishing of alcohol. The teens portraying the party said what they acted out for the concerned parents was pretty realistic. “Parents don’t realize how bad it is,” said Grace Krepel, a member of Teens Awareness Group in Kingfisher. “Teen who do go to these parties will downplay them to their parents.” Callan Christian, a member of Teens Need Teens, an Enid-based drama group, said it should open parents’ eyes. “It is pretty close to real,” Christian said. “It has a lot of shock and awe for parents.” The “Reality Party” was coordinated by Prevention Workz and North Central Coalition for Drug Prevention. .

Then the next person goes. Repeat until one team finishes. Losing team drinks a pitcher. This game sounds easy enough, but wait until you start seeing three cups. Beer Pong: It's like ping pong. With beer. Only different. more like a cross between basketball and bowling. Look for it in the 2008 Olympics. Quarters: Our favorite version: Sit in a circle and start two empty mugs in front o.f people sitting across from each other. You have to bounce a quarter in the mug when it's your turn, and then pass it to the left. Make it on your first try and you can pass it to your left or right. If you end up with both mugs in front of you, you have to chug a beer.

  • Beer Pong Directions
    Beer Pong Beer Pong is a drinking game, usually played in pairs, with teams standing at opposing ends of a table. Cups are formed in a pyramid at either end of the table. The player attempts to toss or bounce a pong ball into the cups. The cups are filled 1/3 with liquid. The player makes a shot into a cup of the opposing team, a player from the opposing team drinks the contents of the cup and removes it from the table. The game continues in this way, with both players from one team taking a shot, followed by both players from the other team. The team that is able to clear all of the opposing team's cups first is the winner, with the losing team splitting the contents of the winning team's remaining cups. Be safe, Be Healthy, Be Clean. Implement the " Health Cup " Rule. Each player identifies and marks their "Health Cup" usually by writing their name on the cup. This cup is to be used only by that individual as a container for which the liquid from the playing cups is poured into. The "Health Cup" is not part of the 20 playing cups. Rules & Regulations 1.) Each team consist of 1 or 2 players. 2.) One Official Party Pong Beer Pong Table. 3.) Two Official Party Pong balls per table. 4.) Cups will be set up in a 4, 3, 2, 1 formation. 5.) Distribute 24 oz. of liquid evenly among all 10 cups per side. 6.) Rock, Paper, Scissors will decide the team that shoots first ( Best of 3 ).

Party Like Sophia 1 of 75 Game #1: Beer Pong What you need: Ping pong table Pack of ping-pong balls Pack of 16oz plastic cups How to play: You can play beer pong in teams of one or two players. You will need to set up two formations of 10 cups on either end of the ping-pong table. The cups should form a triangle, similar to how balls are racked at the beginning of a game of pool. Fill each cup with roughly three to four ounces of beer. Each team stands on either side of the table. The goal is to toss a ping- pong ball into one of the cups on the opposing team’s side. You can toss the ball directly into a cup, and the opposing team is not permitted to try to swat the ball away. Or, for an easier shot, you can bounce the ball when you toss it, but in this scenario, the opposing team is permitted to try to swat the ball away. When a ball lands in a cup, a member of the opposing team has to drink it.

  • Tailgating Policies
    Tailgating Policies Lawrence Technological University permits tailgating in an authorized location prior to home football games. Tailgating is defined as parking a motorized vehicle and consuming food and beverages, which may include alcoholic beverages, outside the sports event area. Parking Lots A and G are designated lots for tailgating. The safety of our students and visitors is of the utmost importance to the University; therefore the following guidelines are established for tailgating. 1. Tailgating must occur only in Parking Lots A and G, which will be clearly marked by signs. 2. Tailgating cannot start before four hours prior to the beginning of any home football game and must end no later than the scheduled kick-off. 3. Alcoholic beverages are limited to single-serving, non-glass containers. No common sources (e.g., kegs, beer balls or other large quantity containers) are permitted. 4. Serving alcohol to or consumption of alcohol by minors (those under 21 years of age) is a violation of state law and Lawrence Technological University’s Code of Conduct. Michigan law states that underage drinking is illegal everywhere—on public or private property, indoors or out—including tailgating. 5. Individuals consuming alcohol may be asked to provide legal identification and proof of age to a campus safety officer, student affair staff or local law enforcement officer. 6. Carrying an open container of alcohol on public streets or sidewalks is illegal, regardless of age. When guests leave the designated tailgate area, they must leave alcoholic beverages in the designated tailgate area. 7. Playing of games that involve consumption of alcohol or use of alcohol-related paraphernalia are prohibited, including but not limited to beer pong, flip cup, shot gunning, etc.

This preoccupation with ‘binge’ drinking amplifies moral panics surrounding youth alcohol consumption whereby consideration of the social and cultural nuances of pleasure that give meaning to young people’s excessive drinking practices and values has been given little priority. This sociological study explores how young drinkers regulate their drinking practices through levels of agency which is informed by values linked to the pursuit of pleasurable intoxication alongside friendship groups in a variety of drinking settings.
