I would like to see more teaching friends to look out for friends who might have alcohol poisoning-signs, when to get them medical attention, possibly saving said friend's life, even if the consequences other than the alcohol poisoning could be pretty tough.

That's exactly what was in the article I linked. I completely agree. We know young adults are going to binge drink. When they do, they should at least know how to recognize the signs of trouble. Look at the Cornell SAE chapter that lost it's charter because they didn't call for help when one of their brother's died from alcohol poisoning. In some cases, people are being held responsible for this information.
