People can die with a BAL of 400. Or 300, or 200, or even 100. My point is that this:

is crap. There is no magic number for alcohol content above which everyone dies. What that girl wrote could lead other students to think that if they're only at a BAL of 300 or 350, they'll be fine, and that isn't necessarily the case. The use of medical misinformation to create drama irritates me, and that's what she was doing with that quote.
