[quote=Anonymous]A friend of a friend of mine was apparently an alcoholic in college. She would drink vodka in her closet before her roommate (my friend) and all of us went out. One night she couldn't even stand up.  She was holding onto someone's hand and somehow got pulled around and smashed her face on a big column of a building, gushing blood out of her nose (not broken).  I can't remember what her alcohol content was but it was ridiculously high--the ER docs came out to ask questions--of which I really had no answers because we literally had just picked her up and this was all of 20 minutes later.

She thought it was funny. Truthfully, I remember being a bit freaked out--but at the time didn't know the extent of her alcohol problems. Drinking was very normalized, etc.

And this was in the late 80s/early 90s.  From every thing I have read, seen firsthand and heard from friends with kids currently in college, the level of alcohol abuse is about 10 times what was already very damn high 'back in the day'. In fact, some of my nephews transferred schools because it was pretty ridiculous and they are 'fun' kids, athletes, etc.

I think your daughter likely had 'alcohol poisoning' and wasn't roofied.  She probably thinks by saying 'roofie' she isn't responsible for being so wasted in your eyes.[/quote]
