This amazes me.

Even some of the articles on this case pointed out there was no forced drinking here- it was a spontaneous act.

This kid spent almost 18 years of his life under the care of Mom and Dad, and a few weeks under the partial influence of a fraternity at a college.

And now the college is responsible?

Logic would dictate it is more likely this kid had fucking losers for parents who contributed to a weak sense of personal responsibility than some sinister influence that suddenly overtook him.

99% of us go off to college and have our fun, but also stay alive and in good stead. This is because we head off to college well-equipped to be adults- and a good 5-6 years older than our great grandparents who were often married with kids and running households at the age of today's college freshmen.

And now Mom and Dad want to sue. How sad. I wonder how they can look themselves in the mirror after trying to profit from the death of their own child whose bad decisions were his own- but most likely influenced by their own inadequacy.
