Have you ever been to a party where the chugging games became the focus? The group decides to get as hammered as possible, as quickly as possible? At the time it's exhilarating ... "everyone is doing it" ... "it's all in fun" ... "this party rules!"
This isn't a lecture series - we promise. We just want you to have all of the information. It could save your life or the life of someone you know.
"Binge drinkers are 39% more likely to suffer a stroke
than those who never binge drink."
- National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism)
"I Knew Someone Who ...
... had a son who died at college after a night of binge drinking. The parents sent their son off to a great college with much hope for his future. This bright college freshman, who had been shy in high school, was all about his new-found freedom. Even though his father, a recovering alcoholic, had cautioned him about the pressure to party in college, the unthinkable happened. The worst nightmare a parent can experience came to be a reality. The parents received the call that no parent should ever receive. Their son was dead. They learned that the previous night, their son attended a party where guzzling a grain alcohol mix was the goal. This apparently went on for some time. The next morning, the son's roommate discovered his body on their dorm room floor. This continues to be a heartbreaking loss for this young man's family."
