Coma drinking

Its really sad. What a waste. I feel age should be kept into consideration but even then taking outrageously high dose can always prove very dangerous. Common sense or sanity, as you would put it, should be followed.

35 shots? he gave the kid 35 shots? oh my, I would have fell over after two LOL those are potent drinks so I'm surprised he was able to consume so much. The bartender should be charged as it was his responsibility to check ID and make sure all his patrons are of the legal age and besides, giving someone 35 shots is just ridiculous.

First of all, I think 18 is way too young to be of legal drinking age. That's still high school age over here. And they drive! Who in there right mind would let a 16 year old drink 35 tequilas? That just makes me mad beyond mad. What was the barkeeper thinking? What were the boy's friends thinking (was he with friends?). This is just so tragic and avoidable.

The bar keeper should pay the price, but how did he get in the bar in the first place? Out here, they ID you first before you can enter the bar. That is sad.

That is absolutely horrible. How long has the bartender been working there? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know 35 tequilas aren't good news for anyone, let alone a 16 year old boy. There's definitely something not right there...

thats so crazy i didnt hear about that till now i think the only reason why the bartender should have been held responsible was cause after a while they should know when to stop giving the drinks but if someone else was buying the drinks for that kid then he couldnt have known. and as for the age thing thats not his fault because people can get fake ids.

People have been around for thousands of years and it seems to me that lessons are seldom learned. Young people feel the need to experience drinking and adults encourage it but I think this should just be avoided. Does anyone listen at all? No, and obviously you get all kinds of tragedies simply because lessons are never learned. This goes with a host of other things too.

First of all, if I had about three tequilas I would be comatose and secondly, the bartender must have known what he was doing. After all, he's a bartender, isn't he ? This is crazy. Its obvious you can kill anyone with 35 tequilas.

Regardless of age, I don't think anyone should ever have 35 tequillas. I can understand how a 16 year old can look like a 18 year old, it can be hard to tell, so carding should be used more often for young people. I am not so much against drinking in light moderation for ages 16, 17, 18, and up, but you have to be careful, server and drinker alike. He did break the law though, and he should get in trouble for it to an extent. Man, 15 years in prison for a mistake that probably happens to a bartender at least once, would just suck. I might be one of the more sympathetic types, heh. Poor kid though.
