On video: 11 young adults charged with driving under the influence. In person: a police officer and a judge.

Taken together, they are people who've been caught drinking and driving, and the people who handle those cases from the time someone is pulled over through the days they spend in a courtroom.

Together, their voices will be heard tonight.

The teens are featured in Branded D.U.I., an Emmy-winning video that will be shown to local students and parents. After the video, there will be two speakers: Cpl. Mark Heron of the Howard County Police Department and Master William Tucker of the Howard County juvenile court.

The program starts at 7 p.m. at Mt. Hebron High School in Ellicott City. It is co-sponsored by the Mount Hebron parent-teacher-student association and HC DrugFree, a Columbia-based nonprofit dedicated to keeping youth free of drugs, including alcohol.

"This really is for anyone of any age who drives a vehicle. We all need to understand the consequences of our actions before we get behind the wheel," said Joan Webb Scornaienchi, HC DrugFree's executive director.

"We're showing it because parents' behavior impacts their children. A parent can tell their teens not to drink and drive, and then they might go out and do what they told their children to avoid."

The video has six key points, according to Scornaienchi: Alcohol causes problems with your health, education, work, finances and relationships. Every 31 minutes, someone dies of an alcohol-related collision. The younger you start drinking, the greater a chance you have of developing an alcohol disorder.

Also: A DUI is expensive. For those who think it can't happen to them – it can. And for those who are arrested and charged with drunken driving, they end up feeling branded.

"They think others see them as people who do have a drinking problem, make poor decisions, don't value human life or need the court to monitor their behaviors," Scornaienchi said. "They think everyone knows about the DUI. They're embarrassed. They think they've disappointed everyone."

Tucker, the juvenile court master, will speak about what he sees when teens appear before him, and he will answer questions from teens and parents. Heron, the police corporal, has several years of experience with the department's alcohol enforcement unit, according to Scornaienchi. He'll be there to explain the law and what he sees, and also to answer questions.

Alcohol was a factor in 11 of 22 fatal collisions in Howard County in 2009, according to county police. Nearly 1,600 people were arrested last year for driving while intoxicated or driving under the influence.

"Parents, I challenge you to challenge your teen not to drink and drive," Scornaienchi said. "Teens, I challenge you to challenge your parents."
