Please drink responsibly.
Well, I was watching the Drinking speech, I thought that the guy was a bad speaker. This was because he was stumbling over his words and wasn't the greatest with his visual aid. However, he did have good credibility, using multiple statistics, and other citations. These statistics are used in such a way that they have shock value, he puts them into a more comprehendible way. Rather than saying there are 120,000 deaths from drunken related accidents, he breaks it down to, four people will die by the end of the class. He interprets them, which is good to get his point across and bad, because he could interpret them wrong or use this type of technique maliciously. So overall, he wasn't the greatest speaker, but he used his citation well.

Agreed, that guy did have great facts and citations but he didn't really succeed in involving the audience. I never thought that anyone would interpret something wrong but I guess your right. I always believe someone when their telling me something but if they don't have the research to back it up then it wouldn't be a very good speech.
