This program illustrates a growing appetite for - and dependence on - experience -enhancing pharmaceuticals and nutriceuticals among those who have the money, the connections, or the savvy to procure them. Drawing examples from the U.S. and France, Pills: Never Enough! examines the use of dietary supplements augmented by hormones to slow the effects of aging; the consumption of energy drinks such as the controversial Cocaine, which packs the caffeine punch of eight espressos per; the abuse of Prozac and sleep disorder med Modafinil by employees striving to work better and longer; the abuse of Ritalin and Concerta by students trying to improve their grades; and the abuse of OxyContin, Xanax, and other prescription meds at "pharming parties," just for kicks.

More than ever before in history, children's health, even their life expectancy, is in their hands. Their well-being is determined by all the choices they make, including nutrition, exercise, sex, alcohol, drugs and tobacco. All of these are choices, influenced by media, parents, other adults and peer pressure.
The age that kids begin drinking alcohol in the U.S. has been dropping since 1965 and now stands at 12-years-old, an age when the adolescent brain is still developing. Under the Influence examines the physical and emotional dangers involved with teen drinking, along with what parents can do to help prevent, or at least delay that first drink.
Despite the media's constant focus on the dangers of illicit drugs, the most common and perhaps the most dangerous drug confronting young Australians today is alcohol. This program complements the harm minimisation approach educators are currently taking to this issue by using interviews with leading researchers and drug counsellors to deliver the very latest information on alcohol and young people.

This program examines the use of the drug Rohypnol to sedate women in order to take sexual advantage of them on dates. It follows two such cases through interviews with victims and their attorneys. The drug, both odorless and flavorless, can be mixed with alcohol and renders the victim easy prey for her attacker. Available in 64 countries, the drug also leaves its victim with complete or partial amnesia, making prosecution of offenders nearly impossible. This program puts the spotlight on a growing social problem.

Prescription drugs are used to reduce stress and they really aren't safe unless you use them according to the prescription.
