Continuing the Fight Against College Drinking

Thousands of Centreville-area students will head off to college this fall, and when they do, they may encounter a culture that emphasizes drinking at all costs.

If they do, the United Prevention Coalition of Fairfax County (UPC) wants them to be ready. On Tuesday, May 15, at 7 p.m., the Sully District Citizens Advisory Committee will host a presentation by UPC called "" at the . Jeff Levy, whose son died after riding in a car with an intoxicated teenage driver, will answer questions, as will Diane Eckert, Executive Director of the UPC.

They will play the movie "Haze," which is the story of college student Lynn Gordon Bailey Jr., who died after binge drinking during a hazing incident. The film does contain graphic but educational imagery.

UPC encourages all parents, college-bound teens and concerned citizens to attend.
