WELCOME to Alcohol 101 - an alcohol education program in the form of an interactive CD ROM. It combines music, interactive scenes, and information in a manner that makes learning about alcohol and its consequences fun.

The program was developed by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in conjunction with the Century Council. It has been brought to Wayne State College via the Counseling Center to give our students needed information outside the normal lectures, inservices, etc. that students usually participate in.

Within the CD is a virtual bar where you can drink all you want - without suffering the consequences - and learn your limitations. There are questions and answers concerning alcohol and its effects, and "interactive scenes" in which you can choose the outcome - right or wrong. Unlike life, if you make a wrong choice you can back up and do the right thing and no one suffers.

Currently the CD is being used in selected classes and the Counseling Center staff is available for presentations. It is available to students in the computer lab between the Counseling Center and Career Services. You can check out a CD from the Counseling Center and go through the program on an individual basis. Click on one of the links in the menu on the left for a sample of information from the CD.
