Confronting Drug and Alcohol Abuse

Description

A young woman uses the restroom at a busy restaurant. While she's away, her date cracks open a small capsule and spikes her drink with white powder. Onlookers are aghast - but do any of them take action? Truth be told, the young man and woman are actors in a hidden-camera scenario created to find out how unsuspecting observers will react. Other provocative set-ups featured in this compilation of ABC News segments: a bar customer attempting to take home a seemingly drunk woman he has just met; an apparently tipsy woman trying to persuade sober passersby to breathe into her car's breathalyzer so she can run an errand; and two different alcohol-drenched hazing sessions involving male, then female, initiates. Each segment gives viewers the chance to ask: What would you do?
