The Perils of the College Drinking Culture


The Fairfax County Police Department, Countywide Initiative to Reduce Underage Drinking, and Northern Virginia Community College Present

“The Perils of the College Drinking Culture”

Don’t miss the second screening and panel discussion on the award-winning documentary, "HAZE," which looks at the crisis of binge drinking and hazing on college campuses. The powerful documentary is a must-see for all parents and their college-bound teens, as well as others concerned about underage drinking.

This second showing is in response to our highly successful May 26 event, attended by nearly 250 parents and students who urged that we host another screening before students head to college. Parents and students are encouraged to attend together.
“This program should be extended across Virginia, in every community.”

“HAZE should be required viewing for all high school students.”

“Thank you for this opportunity to address this issue WITH my 17-year-old son.”

Location:
Northern Virginia Community College
Richard J. Ernst Community Cultural Center Forum
8333 Little River Turnpike
Annandale, VA 22003
