Student videos call for a "wise up" on binge drinking

A film comparing speedy drinkers to runners who race ahead of others but eventually collapse has won a pair of prizes for students of Institute of Technology Tralee.

The film, The Pace Setter, was written and directed by Nicky O’Donnell from Limerick City and Peter O’Callaghan, Kanturk, Co Cork, was director of photography.

The 90-second video won the overall best film and people’s choice awards at the drink2baware.ie competition for third-level students, earning them €1,500 in each category.
