?Just Another Night
¹It was just another night at the frat house. The drinking started early and usually didn't stop until dawn. One of my brothers, a popular easy-going guy named Ryan-not usually much of a drinker-was celebrating a big birthday: his twenty-first. Egged on by the hooting crowd, Ryan bolted down one drink after another, after another, after another.
² By the time Ryan reached 12 drinks, he was slurring his words. As he kept chugging drinks, his face looked flushed; he started sweating heavily. When Ryan lurched to his feet, he swayed unsteadily for a few moments and then collapsed. At first everyone laughed. Then we tried to revive him. We couldn't.
³ "He's not breathing!" I shouted. Someone called 911, and paramedics rushed Ryan to the nearest hospital. His blood-alcohol concentration was several times above the legal limit.Despite intensive efforts by the medical team, nothing helped. Ryan's twenty-first birthday was his last. Our party was over.
