Dating
and relationships in college work like this -- put people in
a room long enough, and they'll hook-up. Put alcohol in the
same room and it all happens that much faster. That's a not
a good thing, but alcohol
plays a major role when it comes to the world of college dating
and relationships.
But
it doesn't have to...
Syndicated
advice columnist, speaker, and author of two books on college
life has discovered the secret truth of dating and relationships.
It's understanding, appreciating, and embracing this
unspoken truth that allows students to put down the beer and
face their biggest fears while sober.
This
interactive, humorous, and informative event incorportates audience
participation, live music, real advice from Harlan's syndicated
column, and the latest facts and figures to expose the motivating
factors behind college drinking and the secret truth to finding
a date... while sober.
For
those students who do choose to drink, the goal is to help minimize
the risks. The reality is that mixing alcohol and dating can
be dangerous:
- 400,000
students between the ages of 18 and 24 had unprotected sex
and more than 100,000 students between the ages of 18 and
24 report having been too intoxicated to know if they consented
to having sex.
-
More than 70,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are
victims of alcohol-related sexual assault or date rape
Harlan
emphasises the need for friends to watch out for friends, strategies
for being smart about being stupid, and how to be responsible
when being irresponsible.
Information is based on Harlan's NEW book, The Naked Roommate:
And 100 Other Things You Might Encounter in College and
his first book, Campus Life Exposed: Advice from the Inside.
