  1. I liked the college or high school drinking scenario. I thought the fact of 1 in 3 liver transplants is caused by liver disease was interesting, I did not know that before. I also liked the tips at the end!

  2. Great job guys! I liked the little story scene at the beginning, I also liked the tips for drinking like mixing wine with water or beer with lemonade. That’s really smart!

  3. I loved how you showed what a serving size was relative to a red solo cup because college students can easily relate to that. Awesome job!

  4. You did a great job at reaching us as college students and made it simple to understand. Oddly enough, people often have a hard time understanding what a safe amount to drink is.

  5. Good information and great drawings to illustrate your point. I also think it was a good choice to aim the presentation to an audience that is a little bit older, as it wouldn’t really be applicable to younger kids!

  6. Awesome job! I liked the story line, and I especially loved the tips at the end! I totally am going to use this next time I decide to drink. I thought your board had a nice flow over all!

  7. I really liked all of the animations and it was really easy to follow. The phases drawn of of the clean to cirrhosis stages were spot on and I like being able to track every process in a video with animations.
