This site is the DUI Hope.org that is telling us stories about children who have been in accidents and there stories.  There are inks to a wall of memory and place to make a donation to people that have passed away and additional information about a specific girl Jackie Saburido who was 20 years old and was in a car accident and survived when no one believed she would.  It shows pictures of her before and after the accident to show teens the serious effect that can happen in a situation like this.  The audience that this is going out to is young adults and teenager who think that it’s ok to drink and drive and believe that something like this would never happen to them.  This is a reliable source to use for the project.  It doesn’t give you a lot of information but give you a story to tell and put it out there for others to see.

<http://alcoholism.about.com/cs/college/a/aa000623a.htm>.

This article talks about how college students drink more and pay less and gives us details about a survey they did with college students. The underage students surveyed that it was easy, very easy to obtain alcohol, and it was more likely to obtain it inexpensively and they were more likely to drink in private settings such as dorms and fraternity parties. Students find easy access to alcohol despite the national 21 year minimum drinking age law. Underage drinking is pervasive on college campuses. This site is good because it surveys college students and gives real statistics of how it is on college campuses today.

2005. 06 Apr. 2006 <>.

     This article talks about how college drinking receives most of the media attention.  This relates very well to my topic because as in the town of Bridgewater our school has gotten a lot of media attention because of the events that have happened this year.  It also talks about how alcohol is typically know for frequent partying, but the individuals who do not attend college also on average experience highest level of alcohol consumptions when they are young adults.  With this being said, the most recent incident in Bridgewater dealt with two teenagers who attended Bridgewater and the man getting killed was a young adult who wasn’t in school. 

T, Buddy. "Alcoholism Guide." Not all Drunk Driving Victims are Killed. 1997. 06 Apr.

2006 <http://alcoholism.about.com/cs/drive/a/aa990324.htm>.

Buddy is in recover from the experience of living with an alcoholic. He is a member of a support group that stressed the importance at the public level. He has been writing in the alcoholism guide for a few years and was one of the original Mining Co. Guides. This article talks about the costs of drinking and how many people have been a victim of drunk drivers but weren’t killed and how is have changed their lives forever. Overall, excessive drinking costs people other than the drinkers $135 billion annually. Of this alcohol-attributable amount, $51 billion is due to crashes. The cost for each injured survivor of an alcohol-related crash averaged $67,000, including $6,000 in health care costs and $13,000 in lost productivity. The financial costs don’t pale in comparison to the pain and suffering that many victims must endure and some for the rest of their lives.
