James-
Please do not reduce the alcohol issue here to merely "drinking underage". I don't think any eyebrows here have been raised over that. Of course college kids drink. We aren't talking about 3 or 4, even 5 drinks here.
The concern here is that these girls drank
excessive amounts of alcohol in a short period of time. That can lead to alcohol poisoning, coma, etc. It was irresponsible and stupid behavior, especially considering the emphasis on educating college people about the dangers of over indulging. They knew better, but chose to act in a way that endangered their lives.
What if they had passed out before puking? Then the issue might have been a whole different story involving dead women.
Am I amazed that 18 year olds still act THIS kind of stupid? I guess so, but I have always been a bit naive! eta: I guess hope springs eternal that kids will one day LISTEN to the dangers of OVER indulging.
