35 college students die every week from alcohol

wow ..

and about 20 college kids kill themselves every week

just saw that on cnn..

they should smoke pot instead.

Yeah and we should ban guns :1orglaugh

i hope you are being sarcastic.

not true

they don't die from alcohol

there is a difference between an alcohol related death and dying from alcohol.:2 cents:

seriously? i thought it would be more

damn fucked up

url ?

Sad thing, didn't know that.

actually i think they said "alcohol poisoning"

seems high to me but certainly possible. i would think alcohol "related" deaths would be much higher

Based on discussions with victims’ families and county medical examiners, RID estimates as many as 4,000 deaths occur each year from alcohol overdosing: drinking too much alcohol too fast. Families learn, in the most difficult way, that alcohol can be a lethal drug.

so if even half those are college kids then my stat was correct ..

bunch of sissies. Noone can outdrink me :thumbsup

Dying from alc poisoning or taking your own life can hardly be compared to someone blowing your brains out against your own will. Hence, I sure hope nobody will start talking shit about gun control in here.

Funny how we never hear about that

nice propaganda

I can agree with you there, that's a good point.

- Tons of gun stuff has been on tv that last couple days because of this, even if guns happened to get banned, which they won't it would prevent school shootings. Kids would still find away to get them and do what they want with them. It's like the same things with drugs, yes they are 'banned' or illegal, but if you want them, you still can get them, and that would be the same for guns.

But your correct, dieing for alc, cannot be compared to having your brains blown out by a raging physco

Thats a huge number:(

and 300 die in traffic accidents so keep drinking to stay off the streets and you will be safer :-)

Thats just Darwins theory in practise.. We won´t miss those genes.. =)

So the lesson is : Don't go to college !! :1orglaugh

What about the 40,000 people who die in car accidents in the United States every year? The media doesn't find that sexy enough to talk about.

For who, the dead person or their family?

how many die per year from smoking pot?


whats that?

none?


oshit....

:thumbsup You're right...bit nazistic but that's one point of view

i dont have a side so i dont see how it could be propoganda.. or did you mean cnn propoganda ..?

I'm not surprised... If you're too stupid to know that alcohol is a poison killing your brain and internal organs, you probably deserve to die.

Natural selection found it's way back!

Thankfully they aren't armed... otherwise hundreds would end up dead each week.

ban beer now!

Ban old age. So many people die from it.

The number seemed unbelievably very high to me as well. That's why I researched it before I replied to your post.

That 35 per week figure includes all alcohol related deaths, including car accidents and suicides, etc etc....

If 35 college students were dying each week from Alcohol Poisoning, trust me, you would have heard about it before now.:2 cents:

bwahaha no it doesnt . your full of shit..


1000 college kids commit suicide alone each week

did you read above 4000 people die from ALCOHOL poisoning PER YEAR

do the math thats over 75 per week half of those are college kids

Dude, You need to get a grip on reality:

1,400 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 die each year from alcohol-related unintentional injuries, including motor vehicle crashes;

1,400 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 who die from alcohol-related incidents each year, according to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

i stand corrected ... seems i was quoting a faulty source..

gotta admit when im wrong.. and in this case im wrong..

I think the number you quoted is way out of whack though..

if 4000 people dies of acohol poisoning per year i would think 1/3 of those would be college kids.. but that 4000 might be abit inflated

Light weights.

I dont doubt the killing yourself part.. check Cornell University stats heh

This is just sad to hear a figure like that :(

really :) :) :)

Hey!
don't drink yourself to death
and it's not nice to kill urself!!!
but, if u wanna kill urself ... do it with alcohol :)

I agree.....
