Your Brain (and Body) On Alcohol by Ryan Travia

Was that a Grande or a Tall that you just downed?  How is your cerebellum like your cell phone?  Is alcohol really sexist?  When Ryan leans forward to his audience, pushing his weight into the front of his shoes, you know you’re about to get some really good stuff—the kind of information presented in a way that changes lives and even saves them!

Ryan is not just a wealth of knowledge about alcohol, he is an impassioned educator equipped with clever one-liners, a dry wit, and a PowerPoint presentation that is not only engaging, but many would say challenging.  It doesn’t matter if his audience members don’t drink or love to drink.  Ryan’s message reaches everyone.  He uses his non-threatening, conversational style to pull you in, and then his myriad analogies and examples force you to stay focused.  From black outs to brown outs and bystanders to double-fister’s, Ryan takes the audience on a journey just the way alcohol takes your brain and body on a journey. 

Students report gaining valuable insights that have helped them from the very next weekend all the way through college.  They appreciate Ryan’s ever expanding, firsthand knowledge of working with students in campus health centers during episodes of alcohol poisoning and in judicial settings when they have been found responsible for violating campus alcohol policies.  School counselors and administrators appreciate Ryan’s respect for their community’s policies and stance on alcohol use by underage students.
