"Today," Summer began class, as usual, in front of the classroom sim in the danger shop, although a little space was cleared off to the side, so you knew that was probably going to play into things a little bit later, "we're going to talk about something that, like a lot of these things, will be very useful to some of you and not useful at all to some others, but is a topic that is very near and dear to my heart," especially these past few weeks!, "and that's dealing with hangovers, and the requisite lesson about alcohol abuse and the dangers therein, because y'all are teenagers at a boarding school on an island with a bar with a very liberal drinking age policy, so, you know....no delusions there."

Although the kids these days seemed way less into partying that she'd been at their age, really. A part of her was almost hoping this class would serve as inspiration, but, of course, she, a responsible adult, wasn't going to say that.

"So we're going to talk about some of the effects that alcohol can have on your body and, more importantly, ways to help prevent a hangover the next morning if you know you're going to get wrecked anyway, and talk about some myths surrounding hangover 'cures' and what really works and what doesn't.

"And," she then added, "since it's generally frowned upon to give students a bunch of alcohol first thing in the morning on a Monday, we've got a few activities that are said to help simulate some of what it feels like to be under the influence of alcohol to give you some perspective on how it impairs you, but we'll get to that in a second. First, the technical stuff..."

Like you could use a hangover cure about right now.

All about alcohol and what it does to your body and how to make hangovers less brutal the next day, all coming from a (very) self-proclaimed expert...in the field of life experience, like, literally, Summer was doing all of this stuff just yesterday and was still maybe even slightly hungover now!

Beta had spent months sharing living space with Erend, so she had at least some idea of what alcohol could do to a person. Granted, said idea was somewhat colored by both Erend's loud proclamations of Oseram philosophies of beer and Zo's occasionally exasperated opinions on same. And she hadn't exactly had the time (or, well... been in the right headspace, really) to do any research on it for her own curiosity's sake.

This was all pretty enlightening, to tell the truth, and in true Sobeck fashion Beta was deciding that she didn't have time for those kinds of shenanigans.

Now it's time to put that space to use with a few activities meant to simulate what it's like to be drunk without all the fun of actually being drunk! Activities include impairment goggles, the classic spinning around a bat to make yourself dizzy and try to make it across a room, and using a tongue depressor to try and talk to simulate slurred speech.

Look, Summer, of all people, isn't about to say any of these are actually influential in preventing anything, but</i....

Maybe you can even get some very specific antidotes from her! Some from even just this last weekend!
