The purpose of the project is educational and informational. The underlying assumption is that alcohol itself is neither good nor KoH TVio wav ruu\nlo nca it niiroc it wuv?.

"For example, most people assume a beer is safer than a mixed drink, but they have the same alcoholic content. Beer is a potent drug." IT IS GENERALLY agreed that people have an alcohol problem when they get to the point "at which some major area of life is being interfered with," such as a student's social life, school, job, health, finances or trouble with the law. Students who come to Parrott "identify common symptoms of an alcohol problem." Some say their roommate changes personality completely when drinking, maybe becoming obnoxious.

The excuse given for destruction of property in residence halls is often drunkenness. Arguments with friends may increase greatly after drinking. A person with an alcohol problem may drive drunk. "By the time of serious black-outs and pass-outs, you have a serious problem," Parrott said. A black-out occurs when a drinker does not remember a span of time when everyone else thought he was functioning normally. Passing out can be dangerous because death could result if the drinker chokes on his own vomit.
