Getting interns to make smart choices around booze isn’t the easiest of tasks. But it becomes easier when you appeal to their romantic natures.
Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard, D-Calif., hosted an event for interns on Capitol Hill on Thursday to encourage the bright young go-getters to “make the right choice” when it comes to drinking alcohol.
Roybal-Allard introduced Brandon Silveria, who became permanently disabled after a drunken accident. His story wound up as an episode of the former hit television series “Rescue 911.”
Silveria’s father, Tony, also spoke to the audience of interns and labeled them all as type “A” personalities for working on Capitol Hill.
“Gentlemen, females run the world,” Tony said, telling the ladies that it was up to them to discourage the men from drinking and driving by saying: “If you truly respect me, you don’t have to prove anything with alcohol.”
