I think this is probably going to keep going back and forth. I understand your argument and it makes sense. Hopefully you understand mine. You are saying that guys in my fraternity should have called 911 because of the condition I was in. However, are you suggesting that anyone who has so little as one shot of alcohol in the course of one night should have 911 called on them to make sure they are alright? At what point does a person need to intervene? It's open to interpretation. If I saw a person who I was with the whole night who had one shot and that was all and seemed to me to be perfectly fine, I'm not going to call 911. Maybe I'm a bad person for not doing so. I don't know anyone who would and I doubt you do either. However, couldn't it be possible that a person might have some sort of a reaction to one shot of alcohol later on? Could it be possible that one shot of alcohol could trigger something in the brain and hurt that person later? Yes, it's certainly possible, since anything is possible in this world. I admit there is a fine line regarding knowing whether a person is alright or not as it pertains to alcohol. I just hope people use their best judgement. Can you honestly say that throughout your entire college career, you've called 911 on every single person you have seen passed out at a party? If you can, my hat is off to you, but if so, I think you might be a little too paranoid. I feel as though I have used my best judgment in assessing whether a person needs to be taken to the hospital in regards to mis-use of alcohol. Again, I don't buy the argument that fraternity brothers are to blame for a single member over-drinking, if it was that single member's choice. If I don't know my own limits, that's my fault, not anyone else's. They're my brothers, but they shouldn't have to take the wrap for something stupid I did...
