The Blog is back after a substantial number of requests...and by that I mean one.
I can see it now. Drake students on 34th St. walking up and down frat row watching for police and campus security because a number of them are under age. Those were the good 'ol days.
But right now, one such frat is under scrutiny and may even be responsible for having an alcoholic brand completely banned in the state.
And so the story goes...
Some goofball named Nathan Erickson wanted to be a Phi Delt so badly he thought he'd impress his future frat boy buddies by drinking so much 151-proof Everclear he landed in the hospital with a blood-alcohol level of .50, six-times the legal limit.
By drunk terms, this was astronomical and it's amazing this freshmen is alive.
"The danger is how quickly that can elevate someone to a state of intoxication," said Iowa's alcoholic beverage admin.
Uh ya, it's Everclear.
The worst part about this story is that I can only imagine young Nathan's parents completely blaming everyone other than their son and going after the school and the national fraternity for taking part in this "hazing" incident.
Well, it wasn't hazing...it was just some kid trying to impress older, mature college students by drinking so much he ended up on a gurney with a stomach pump -- A Drake legend.
Should the Everclear be banned?
This guy is an idiot granted. However, the 190 proof Everclear is just stupid and the 151 should be something that is just a novelty. We had a Bicardi 151 club at school where we took a pic of everyone just after they took the shot and their face was recoiling. After having one shot I knew that one a night would be about it for me. Hense it is just the novelty. Maybe IQ tests before you can but anything over 80 proof?
ReplyDeleteI can picture this kid at the beginning of the night. Nice sweater, backwards hat with long curly shaggy hair coming out the sides. Trying to impress all the kappa girls but failing miserably. He's not going to get any action for a while.
ReplyDeletePure Darwin. But since I shouldn't wish instant natural selection upon anyone, how about we just lace Everclear with some sort of chemical castration concoction?
