Just to put it in perspective again. 16 teen auto deaths in the last year just in the Atlanta area is a number greater than half the total number of college alcohol deaths in the last 19 years.
If Hoosiers article is accurate there have been 28 alcohol deaths nation wide in the last 19 years.
Alcohol overdose and death on college campuses is a very small problem except for the people the die and those directly affected.

Hoosier only posted a small fraction of the alcohol deaths.
According to someone that was on the Today show a few weeks ago there are about 1400 drinking related deaths a year.
TIBBLES: "Binge drinking and initiation rituals aside, the consequences of college drinking are deadly, some 1400 deaths attributed to alcohol abuse each year."
