But she was drinking that night. The point is that if you are drinking with friends and a friend doesn't look well, don't leave them alone to sleep it off. Even if the cause of her death wasn't alcohol intoxication, she may have been saved if someone had noticed she had stopped breathing for whatever reason and called 911. All likelihood is that it was alcohol intoxication, but for what it's worth, most causes of death for a young woman drinking alcohol are preventable. And this comes from someone who was saved by the quick thinking of sisters who didn't leave me alone when I was probably suffering from alcohol poisoning. I had at least blacked out and fallen out of a car. Freshmen make lots of mistakes. It happens. The key is to not potentiate those mistakes into fatal ones.
