People have a legal obligation not to supply alcohol to the underage, true. But I was responding to a point that had been made earlier that someone should have noticed how drunk she was, taken care of her, etc. As far as I know, there's no legal obligation to do that. I don't know Colorado law, either, but even if they have the strictest good-samaritan laws in the nation, the fact that a drunken college student has fallen asleep at a party at 5 a.m. probably doesn't qualify as the kind of situation where you can be liable for not calling 911...unless you witnessed the person drinking 30+ shots, then there's no reason to assume that their life's in danger.
At this point I don't think there's been any clues as to where she got the liquor. My guess is that no one place is going to give you 35 shots, and she probably got it at a lot of different parties.
The U Colorado story just made me ill...people were drawing on the face of the passed-out pledge, ha ha ha, and it turned out he was dead, oops! Some brotherhood. We shouldn't be surprised that a lot of schools are fighting Greek life so hard. It's tough for the responsible people to hang on to their reputations when behavior like this is poisoning the water.
