An Arizona State University student who was drunk and left unconscious at a Tempe hospital is expected to be OK, officials said.
The 20-year-old student, a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, was left unconscious in a wheelchair at Tempe St. Luke’s Hospital at about 4 p.m. Saturday, Tempe Police Department spokesman Sgt. Mike Pooley said. There was a Post-it note with a friend’s name and phone number stuck onto him.
Pooley said officers told him the note mentioned the student took part in a drinking competition.
Emergency room staff noticed him and immediately began treating him, Pooley said.
“He was turning blue in the wheelchair and he was... having difficulties breathing,” he said. “The emergency room staff treat him very quickly, they’re able to get him checked out and they’re able to actually save his life.”
The exact symptoms the student suffered were not clear, but Pooley said it was the result of alcohol over-consumption and asphyxiation on his own vomit. He had a 0.47 percent blood-alcohol content. A driver in Arizona is considered intoxicated at 0.08 percent.
The student and a group of friends were celebrating the completion of the semester and began drinking at about 2 p.m. Saturday at a residence in Tempe, Pooley said. The student was challenged to a shot-drinking contest and between 2 and 4 p.m. drank about 20 shots of tequila, police said.[/quote]

Jesus. What a bunch of dickish friends.
20 shots of tequila in the space of 2 hours, are you retarded?
20 shots? How soft
Anyone else hate this frat culture that's going on across universities? Drink until you kill yourself, great idea guys.
Christ how small was he that 20 shots would give him 0.47%?

You just got the edit in time before I called you out on your maths. Consider yourself lucky.
And I wish I could find 10% alcohol beer more commonly at bars!
Quit acting like they're retarded, they're just students. Drinking, parties and challenges at parties involving alcohol is pretty common.
Just got to be careful who you're drinking with.

I believe Micky's is 12%, right? Do they not serve it at bars?
[QUOTE=Yahnich;40664672]tequila is 40% of alcohol, which is equivalent to 4 beers of equal amount; 20 shot glasses is 0.9L which times four equals 3.6l of beer, that's 12 beers
he drank 12 beer in two hours
ok not so much of a pussy i miscounted[/QUOTE]
Yeah its a lot sure.
But I've seen many people drink like that, my self included at university. It's not so shocking abnormal that it kills people left and right, so I wonder what this guys disposition was.
I used to drink an entire bottle of sambucca as pre-drink on nights out in my freshers week.
Saying that I did see this tiny stupid girl down an entire bottle of it and ended up in hospital with burns to her stomach and unable to drink for the rest of the year. YOLO.
Its not that much.

Just how retarded can they get ?

[QUOTE=download;40664532]20 shots? How soft[/QUOTE]
assuming US shot size is 30mL
that's 240mL (a tumbler) of pure alcohol in 2 hours
I personally like to snort my shots

i think he's just pointing out a lot of people say they can drink more than they can in reality, it happens
not to everyone, granted, but it's funny when it does
[QUOTE=NoDachi;40664922]Are you harbouring some kind of buried resentment?[/QUOTE]
calling out tryhards that aren't fooling anyone = harbored resentment ok yes
[QUOTE=Yahnich;40664939]no, i'm annoyed that you're pretending 20 shots of tequila is nothing at all, that's 35.2 cl of pure alcohol
let me say that again, imagine a full beer glass
filled with pure alcohol
and then take another shot glass of pure alcohol
think about it[/QUOTE]
Where did I say it was nothing at all.
Stop projecting the fact that no one invited moon moon along
