3-day Coma: U VA Zeta Psi pledge (Soy sauce)
U of Virginia Zeta Psi pledge was "dared" to drink a large quantity of soy sauce; result: a 3-day coma. At least they got him to a hospital, and luckily he apparently suffered no permanent brain damage . . .

I heard about this a few days ago. They said "a college student prank" -- I was nervous there was going to be a fraternity angle brought up.

This would be a weird time of year for any hazing to actively be going on.

Sounds like a middle school dare . . .

Although the article is from today, it does say that after a month, he was in classes and doing well on exams. They don't say when the incident was, but it was apparently a while ago?

A linked article had this to say:
Quote:
John Paul Boldrick was 19 when he drank the soy sauce as part of an initiation to join the Zeta Psi fraternity house in February 2011. He ended up in a coma but survived with no lasting neurological problems, according to LiveScience.

"As part of an initiation" sounds like something the non-English-speaking spambots might say. At any rate, this occurred in 2011 and is only now making the rounds because it was apparently discussed in a medical journal.

Did he pass out because of the salt or the alcohol content? I'd guess the salt.

I believe that the fraternity was kicked off campus for a couple of years based on that, and perhaps, other incidents.
