“Gun Death” Frat Party

This is an interesting one:

The parents of a 19-year-old college student who died after a night of heavy drinking at a fraternity party are suing the Greek organisation, as well as the bar where their teenage daughter was allegedly served drink after drink.

…She was said to have consumed between 10 to 17 vodka drinks within two hours, despite being underage and visibly drunk.

Her heart stopped the next morning, and she died from arrhythmia, according to the autopsy report.

Though the autopsy says she died of natural causes, the family’s attorney seeks to prove that alcohol was to blame for her sudden passing.

The family is filing the lawsuit a mere two days before the statute expires.

On one hand serving a person drink-after-drink when they’re wasted is asking for trouble. On the other, hand this type of stuff happens damn near EVERY weekend without such horrible end-results. The conflicting death reports don’t help things either.

Either way, no guns, no “Gun Death”, so let’s not worry about it!

    This is a tragedy and a waste.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, teach your children to always have a wingman when they are partying. Someone that sticks with them the whole night no matter what. Most guys know this, but women do not.

    My wingman kept me safe several times when I was young, stupid, and black-out drunk. I did the same for my friends too. Made sure we made it home in the winter, defused fights, kept our faces out of the vomit, kept us from being robbed (or worse), and handed us water and soda instead of another drink.

    To piggyback off the “gun death” meme, this wouldn’t make the news had the girl not been in a sorority.

    Underage girl or guy gets hammered with their independent friends, and it’s just another teen tragedy.

    Underage girl or guy does it with their Brothers/Sisters, then it’s the fault of the Fraternity/Sorority.
