The course begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and avoidance then progresses on to the basics of hands-on defensive training.

Officers responded and found a UT student, who was under the age of 21, lying on the floor of the restroom. The student stated she had “too much” to drink because she wanted to know what it was like to be intoxicated. The student explained she “measured out 8 ounces of vodka and drank 6 ounces quickly.” When the rapid intake did not have an immediate impact, she drank the final two ounces of vodka. A short time passed before the student realized what it was like to be intoxicated. That feeling was soon surpassed by the overwhelming feeling of being too intoxicated.
