Workin' the Party Scene

Workin' the Party Scene
Physical

Description:

This program was presented at the 1998 IACURH conference. In a large room hang signs that read "bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, etc...). In the kitchen, have non-alcoholic mixed drinks prepared. As each resident enters the room, hand them a slip with a role on it for them to play (i.e.-Social drinker w/ a 1 drink max, Non drinker, Drug dealer, alcoholic, designated driver, etc...) Have the "bartender" push the residents to drink, and have them put a tick mark on the cup everytime the resident gets a refill. Play loud music and let everyone just mingle and drink while they play their role.
After an hour or so, stop the music and have evryone sit in a circle, then go around and tell their role and how much they had to drink. (Usually the designated driver and non-drinker will have had a drink or two), then begin a discussion about how often these things happen.

Instructions/Things Needed:

Blenders
Drink Mixes
Cups
Role Slips
Radio
Bartender
D.J.

Other Considerations:

If you have a drug dealer, make sure that their role slip tells them to encourage the residents to but from them, each time the resident buys, have the dealer put a sticker on their hand or shirt.
After the party, also ask how many people bought drugs!!
