This is really sad. People need to be aware of the dangers of alcohol abuse. It’s important to teach people to say No and not give into peer pressure. The whole culture of fraternities and hazing is messed up.
@@maiden5427 extremes always lead to silly problems. Alcohol is easy to moderate and almost never a problem until you make it one. These men set out to make it one.
Yep even the small ones that we don't think of, something so small as not tying your shoe lace and tripping down a flight of stairs could ruin your life, little stuff can be so dangerous it crazy
College where you have and know where people do dumb things. This is America welcome to it nothing is gonna change. Hope all you young who read this have children so they could experience the stupidity of the world while you attempt to protect them from everything.
Or maybe be independent and smart , I have a lot of Friends who drink heavy when they party and I never ever drink not even a sip , even when they used to pressure me , this kid was raised weak
@@Angel-ku5vq True. He could’ve called it quits w/ the fraternity. Yeah, he probably laid down a lot of money for the process of “crossing”, but was it really worth his life? People have freedom to decide, and Darwinism dictates weakness be culled. This is nothing more than textbook actions: put self in dangerous position, suffers the consequences when things flop…literally, haha. I pity him. I’m sad for him and his family, and I honestly feel the others also had some responsibility to look out for their fellow Americans, but again, at the end of the day, they chose their path, and this was the risk. How sad.
At the end of the day, he was still a man who had the ability to make his own decisions and stop before he got completely blackout drunk. It's still your fault if you get pressured into making bad decisions by people you met at college months ago.
University allows these bad behavior so they could get more students to come in .This is all too common among universities. This kind of behavior should be not acceptable in an educational system.
he did it to himself and now trying to put the blame on someone else its too common these days. I was in college but I never drank just a few beers and I did go to a party school UCSB
I do not get the idea of this foolish pledging hazing nonsense. I never understand it. Maybe because I raised in the Caribbean. Why would I need to prove to people equal like me (students) that I am worthy?
Yeah a highschool student that went to my school was allergic to alcohol. They slipped some vodka into her orange juice and she was completely unaware. She became very intoxicated and drowned in her own vomit cause no one checked on her. She died of suffocation and multiple organ failure. Things like this shouldn't be taken lightly and charges to the full extent of the law should apply to anyone involved.
@@tecumsehdc hazing is literally a crime. One did not consent, the other was pressured by a community, both didn't know the danger, both (almost) died from negligence and for the entertainment of the other party. But I guess it makes you look more like a tough guy when you can judge someone behind a screen and tell yourself you wouldn't be in his situation.
That’s what I was thinking, I couldn’t imagine living the rest of your life trapped inside your mind and body like that 😞 I seriously hope that university and anyone involved is held accountable
This happens all the time. When I was in college this exact thing happened only the guy died, never woke up the next morning. College kids have no idea how destructive alcohol is.
@@annies6566 People would call you a lightweight but it's not an insult or joke. I was a girl who laughed once. Watch who is pouring your drink. Take time between your drinks, drink water.
When I was younger- being able to drink a lot seemed so cool to me. "Oh you can't drink anymore? Cmon wussy". I took the jokes too seriously when my friends probably cared more for my health. Also, it's so easy to indulge in the vibe (and addiction/temptation). Feel like I intrinsically knew/felt the damage but I made excuses to take it further. Bad ideas! Better way to make memories. I know no one asked + L + ratio but hopefully some random gets some insight from this. What a terrible incident for Danny and his family :( i don't think anyone else is to blame though. I imagine no one at that college would have thought/hoped this would have happened to him.
Exactly. Alcohol is a drug like all the others. I’m 22 I had to quit. Only 124 pounds & could drink like u never seem cuz I was an alcoholic drinking everyday. Glad to say I’ll never drink again
@@saramorin4792you can be blacked out and seem fine. Your brain can’t process its short term memories or something like that but you’re not asleep yet. Like your PC still working but lagging out bc of lack of ram. Scary and sad and I have been there.
Exactly. Very important! As much as I feel sorry for him, I still think he would have avoided this. Or at least get rid of the alcohol. The urge to belong sometimes is what really kills
@LL I stopped drinking even before I got to college. Had no interest in joining any of them either, hanging out with dumbasses isn’t really my thing. I saved a whole bunch of money not drinking which I instead used to go abroad after every semester and graduated with no regrets in that regard.
@@lockethomas7165 It is the fraternity's fault for pressuring Danny to drink an unhealthy amount of alcohol. If you think otherwise, you're just as bad as the fraternity.
@@fynkozari9271 girl America is not the greatest country. This is coming from an American. Only boot licking, naive Americans view our country as flawless.
My mom's worst nightmare when I went to college was exactly this: me being desperate to fit in and doing insane things to make it happen. I have never even been tempted. I'd choose a bit of loneliness anytime over endangering my life.
True. But its important to make sure the teens actually realize the risk of both death AND and lifelong handicaps for doing things like this. I think the risk of getting crippled for life should deter just about anyone. If someone still does it after that, regardless of peer pressure (unless outright threatened/forced), they're just being an idiot and got no excuse. But its still a punishment more than they deserve.
I can’t imagine what Danny is thinking, just living in a shell of himself for the rest of his life. This is heartbreaking and everyone that made him do this needs to be held accountable to the fullest extent.
No one made him do it, he is a big kid now. He makes his own choices and he chose to drink like that. He didn't have a gun to his head being told to drink all of that. He made a bad choice and now he has to live with it.
@@williamsnowball4267 He was a teenage boy in college who drank like almost every other teenager. I doubt he realized that much vodka could kill him. Most people actually DON'T know that overdrinking like that on your first few goes can kill you. This isn't a "bad choice he has to live with," it's a horrific accident. Lots of people drink and this doesn't happen to them.
@@williamsnowball4267 he chose to be in a fraternity not to end up brain damaged it makes me sick people put the blame on him .Once you said you want to be part of the brotherhood it is very complicated to backtrack they won t let you and they coerce you in to doing these stupid things
@@mariea.8100 it should be common sense to not chuck a whole bottle of vodka on the first go, he probably felt terrible going through just one sip but keep pushing. This is sure tragic but still his fault.
Fraternities won't do you good, fraternities would lead you to bad things. I joined a frat in my college days and it was my most regrettable decision I've ever had.
@@slipperylatex872 a simple explanation, mate a frat is a bad influence. Go fight him, go fight them, maim him, maim them. Though forming brotherhood but it teaches you to not to be an independent person and keep on relying on someone.
When I tried to join, I asked them “what do you guys stand for? Or simply, what do you guys do?” No one gave me an exact answer and only talking about socializing, building community bonds, this and that, I decided not to join any.
he deserves better b/c he was a spineless little loser? lmao... I feel sorry for your family for having someone like you who clearly has notion about taking accountability
@You can trust most people. It's when they become a group when you can no longer be so trustful. A single person is almost all the time trustworthy when you build up your relationship. A group can have high tendencies to abuse, use, and treat you like a bag of garbage and won't even mourn for your death. It's not just fraternities or sororities. Even religious groups ironically often treat their members like tools. Like Mormons and JW's. When you become a member, your goal now is to preach and find new members. They don't care about you as an individual.
There was an 80s Vietnam movie called Platoon. I thought it was cool how they separated units in camp between William Defoes unit which was laid back, not racist, cool and weed smokers. Then there was the hard ass, alcoholic, racist group that everyone was miserable in. Crazy to think this is still true today and powers that be that keep it that way.
He has internet and is a university student. Could have resisted peer pressure. Even Russians don't drink a while bottle of undiluted vodka. I wish his family should not try to ruin another students life.
I'm a freshman in college and glad my parents always had a talk with me about these stupid and harmful things that happen in college. I don't even go to college parties and in the very few ones I've been to, I never felt peer pressured. Fortunately I can strongly say no and no one can budge me from my decision to not drink
I’m 21, finishing up college. Was at a hall of residence in 1st year where obviously there’s booze everywhere and even in the “non alcoholic building” it was quietly rampant. I refused to give in to peer pressure and play drinking games, which truly is just a euphemism for alcohol abuse. I hardly drink now. I used to a lot then but after a scary experience of lacking control after 6 well-filled glasses of wine within two hours I decided to give drinking up. I’ve never been fully drunk but just seriously tipsy. Always have water and food with alcohol. It’s so sad that young students glorify drinking and voluntarily abuse their bodies for the sake of “fitting in”. I feel amazing, but it’s sad that people admire you for saying you don’t drink only to subtly build peer pressure and ridicule you if you don’t participate. But if that happens then you’re hanging out with the wrong people. Your body is your temple guys (I know it sounds kinda tacky but it’s true), you’ve only got one.
I go to the university of Missouri. This is so common it’s ridiculous. I know about 5 people that have died of drug overdoses. I heard about this case but it was like last year. Sadly this is just one of many. That poor guy

@@Tonshmar Very likely it's permanent, I'm not a doctor, correct me if I'm wrong but but recovery from such a catastrophic event does not look possible.
This is why it's important to teach your children about critical thinking and independent thought. I hope my children would look at this situation and say nope.
My God. I didn’t even know fraternity’s still hazed. You have got to teach your child to not engage in peer pressure and never be afraid to GET UP AND LEAVE!! Edit: feel the need to add that I am not trying to take away from the tragedy that occurred. It really is heart breaking what happened to him. The “my God” was more a “my heart breaks to hear that” my God. As a mother and teacher, I really try to stress the importance of never being afraid to walk away from a bad situation verses feeling the pressure of staying because “you’re in too deep”. I realize people on UA-cam can be negative and cynical and I hate that my comment might have come off that way.
Or just realize every choice has a consequences I don’t feel bad for danny. Just like I don’t blame my drug dealer for when I overdosed. I knew the chance I took . That’s life.
I wonder what kind of "brotherhood" the fraternity really shows. It's very very heartbreaking for any parents to see their child almost die for just joining them.
Poor kid. It sounds terrible but sometimes I think surviving is worse. I can't imagine not being able to see, or even talk. Must feel like a never ending case of sleep paralysis. I don't know whether it's empathy or common sense so many people lack. If I see a dude that messed up I'm checking on him multiple times. Aside from the hazing nonsense
There's actually a Name for the "never ending sleep paralysis" I forgot the name but it's my worst nightmare ever and if it happened to me I rather die than live with that condition
This is really sad. Almost makes me want to cry. I commuted to college while living with my parents and barely had any friends, mostly spending my time reading in the campus library (I’m a nerd lol), but seeing stuff like this honestly makes me grateful. Perhaps if I was a frat boy things could’ve gone south in many different ways…Either way, people need to wise up and stop these dumb “frat pledge” dares. It’s more like a “suicide pledge”. So pointless and tragic. I really wish this kid all the best.
They “prohibit hazing” and yet the conga line of dozens of kids says this is a regular thing for them. Closing down the chapter isn’t enough. Those students need to be held accountable for endangering barely legal teenagers and putting them in dangerous situations.
I agree. They should be held accountable. Negligent carelessness that pretty much cost that young man his life. What kinda life can he lead now. They too everything from him and I think they should be held accountable for it
This is so sad. I genuinely can't tell which is the worst way to go, losing your limbs and senses to a landmine like the soldier from Johnny got his gun or your own friends leaving you on your own and then losing them when they come back to rescue you. My condolences go out to him and his family, and the university should be held responsible as well as the other Frat boys.
@@swat007jp if you gave me your kid so that I could educate them, you would hope I would watch them, teach them, feed them as if they were my own. Now imagine what happened to him and how he came back after being given to this educational facility. Their negligence on this hazing process must have caused physical and emotional trauma that could even extend beyond this incident.
It's too bad that the doctors were able to revive him because now he has to live the rest of his life like that, and his mom had to quit her job to take care of him full time.
Seeing the videos of him running around and smiling at the end broke my heart. He didn't deserve this and this is why it's important to teach your kids to stick up for themselves. I hope he finds enjoyment in life
WHY PEOPLE ALWAYS LET their surroundings to be an influence? Stand up and YOU BE an influence to them. Otherwise, you don't need those kind of friends. Do that which you know is right, not what you which to be right.
That's what I'm saying lmfao it's Danny fault for not stopping they ain't had a gun to his head forcing him to drink he just had too much pride and it was his downfall
I somewhat agree with you, but I'm not out to become a powerbroker. It's not my place to influence the decisions of the ignorant masses. I'll look after myself, and let everybody else do the same.
@@Daniel.03286 We always want someone to blame instead of hoding people accountable for their actions. They said this was the worse hazing all time. Where was the worse part, they told him to finish a bottle of alcohol. Nobody beat him like some of the other hazing videos I see.
It’s sad that they were able to revive him. I say that because he’s trapped inside his body now, and if it were me, I wouldn’t want to be trapped in my body, nor would I want my child trapped like this. If someone has been deprived of oxygen that long, it’s better to let them go. Poor Danny, this is so sad. His life was over that night
Let this be a lesson in peer pressure. Know your limits. Know what position you’re going to put yourself in and know who’s around you to trust if you’re in a bad situation like he was. Poor Danny. Sad he had to pay the price just trying to fit in 😔🙏
I keep seeing comments say that the people he was with were untrustworthy but they weren’t. If anything they were incredibly trust worthy and were worried for his well being the entire time.
not so poor Danny, noone pointed a gun and forced him to do that, he always had the option to say no or to stop drinking, still extremely sad that this happened but it's what it is
@@gabrielfernandes5855 yes, poor Danny. He’s a kid and made a mistake, do not strip him of sympathy because “nobody held a gun to his head”. We all make mistakes, he got the worst end of it. Sorry Danny and I hope you do better ❤️🩹
maybe just not forcing a 130lb stick to drink an entire bottle of vodka, and you do realize this was his decision?, not if the frat forced him to stay and drink it that’s a whole different situation
I almost died when I was 16 from hypothermia and alcohol poisoning. All my friends left me at the place we were drinking because my gf at the time was there... all 120 lbs of her and 190lb me. She couldn't get me over the fence we climbed to get in and thank God she called my parents without my consent. My parents brought me to the hospital and the doctors told them if i was outside 30 minutes longer I would have died. If it weren't for her I wouldn't be here right now
same situation but I wasn't going to let my buddy die. I dragged him to my house and kept him alive all night. I was 14 and he weighed at least 100 lbs more than me. we found a bottle he drank the whole thing. our parents were out of town.
Luckily I was able to stop my daughter from participating in hazing. She was about to inspite of her better judgment. I feel horrible for this family and Danny. Praying that he recovers and that his family gets justice.
@@fleurdemeraudee It means any activity expected of someone in joining or participating in a group that humiliates, degrades, abuses, or endangers them regardless of a person's willingness.
@@fleurdemeraudee hazing is very rarely taken to this extreme though. most fraternities will make you down a few shots, shotgun some beers and that’s about it. maybe run around campus half naked. i’ve never seen someone have to chug a whole bottle of vodka, that’s beyond absurd.
It's outrageous that the college is still allowing those fraternity "brothers" to stay enrolled there, this school should also be held accountable for what happened to this young man..sad. This makes me alot more thankful that the only friends I ever needed or wanted were my family, fiancé and MAYBE 1 or 2 childhood school-mates. Screw trying to "belong" or fit in
@@hotbbqporkbun8214 it's fun. I've gotten blackout drunk at a frat before. Forcing them to drink X amount of hard liquor is very dumb though. I've only seen those kind of challenges for beer. Hard to get brain damage from chugging too many beers vs. vodka/spirits.
These stories should be required to be shown as part of orientation in college. We had to watch sooo many videos about SA and consent and other important things during our orientation, and I think recognizing hazing and the dangers of it should be right up there with them.
@@somename5632 considering all of these incidents happen in college, I don’t think your comment is relevant. You can be incredibly intelligent and make one bad decision that can cost you your life. That’s so rude to insinuate that getting caught up in peer pressure at 18-19 years old means you’re not smart enough for college like wth lol
@@biggibbs4678 omg ya can you believe it?! Car crashes DO happen. It’s not a myth. It’s insane. And I guess, since car crashes happen and we all know that, we shouldn’t talk about the importance of wearing a seatbelt, because we *all* know we should. It’s stupid to continue sharing how life saving seatbelts can be because so many people know car accidents happen so sharing that type of information with teenagers to remind them about it and reinforce good habits and behavior is just a waste of time! Same goes for reminding people to not drink and drive. We all know it’s illegal and we shouldn’t do it, so talking about it and reminding people not to do it is dumb. Obviously people aren’t gonna drink and drive cause we all know better. Oh wait-
I found it chilling that before the incident he was walking just blind-folded at first to being led on permanently blind afterwards. Prayers to the family.
I don’t know what frustrates me more: the fact that a college-aged boy can’t reject a stupid command to finish a whole bottle of vodka or the fact that this hazing culture is still going in this modern era.
Or the fact that his relatives blame everyone but him for his own actions . Seriously. No wonder he did this without a second thought. This is what happens when parents never hold their children accountable and always tell them how it's "not their fault ". I feel sorry for them but seriously. Calling the other boys disgusting when their son was the one that actually did it...
This again one of the US only things, i have never heard of any similar events in Europe. And i find the whole idea of fraternity or whatever where you have to prove yourself and fit in extremely idiotic.
This just breaks my heart 😒💔 pls don’t let ppl convince u into doing anything that doesn’t feel right no matter how much they guilt trip u or how bad u feel for them
The kid had no idea that drinking that much Vodka could kill him. At some point he probably had no idea he was still drinking. It's not his fault he ended up like this. He wasn't even old enough to get the alcohol.
@@GuerinGrad09 In all truth, his parents should've better educated him on what alcohol consumption is, and maybe even slowly ease him into recognizing his drinking limits inside the safety of their family home. It's better for young adults to experience their first drink at home under parental supervision so they learn to recognize their drinking limits, and learn how to manage their intoxication do that they'll be better equipped when they do go out drinking in the real world.
@@_Just_Another_Guy I agree, I don’t understand who’s fault it is then if it’s not his and anyone who supported alcohol to a minor, but with that said he was well old enough to know what it was and illegally consumed it and well… consumed so much he’s brain dead, it’s not the other guys fault he drank that much nor is it there fault they took the time they did to get him to the hospital, parents should be lucky the boys even cared that much they could’ve all went to sleep and he’d probably be dead currently.
@@GuerinGrad09 yes it’s definitely not his fault. He probably felt sick but he either didn’t want to let his friends down, was peer pressured, wanted to be on their level, didn’t want to seem like he cant handle his alcohol or all of the above.

@@_Just_Another_Guy thing is tho no matter how much ur educated on alcohol if ur social surroundings & the social network around u is pressuring u it’s very common to give in especially as a guy because of toxic masculinity making men think they not manly if they can’t handle their alcohol. I’m pretty sure it was peer pressure. I mean I understand wanting ur friend to be as drunk as u but to pressure anyone into taking a substance leads to exactly these types of situations even mentally disabling ppl for life. He probably didn’t want to be called the p word for not being able to handle his alcohol & thought he’d just vomit or pass out. Not knowing everyone’s body is different & u need to do wats right for u not wat makes ur friends n social surroundings happy. Bec that’s exactly what happened here
Its indoctrination, they use psychological tactics to keep people in wether deliberately or not. These people cloud your judgment because they get you to trust them.
Honstly it's a struggle to say no especially as a young adult. There's days I feel lonely because I'm not doing things like most of the people in my 20s but then I hear stories like this and it reminds me why I don't do these things. Teach your kids about toxic and manipulative relationships even with friends sometimes it not always about fitting in people can brainwash you.
Literally isn't. Im 16 and whenever someone offers me a drink or any substance I always decline it. Homie in the video just weak and look where that got him. Saying no isn't hard.
@@pins849 Its called conformity bias, he feels to go along with everyone else because he wants to fit in. He wanted to join the fraternity and seeing everyone else go along with the hazing, he wants to as well. Don’t blame him, yes he partially made that decision.

This is why ahead of time I’ve told my family if I ever get to point like this, I want them to pull the plug my only hope is that they realised I was serious and didn’t think it was a joke because one of my worst fears is just to be alive there and not being able to interact with the world in anyway
@@benijen A person's basically dead when they're in that sort of position. And I think the same way. If something like that happened to me, I'd want the plug pulled too. Sure it's not the same for everyone. But in my opinion, there's just no point in staying around anymore. My family would either suffer mentally with my death, or I'd suffer physically being kept alive in a state like that.
This is sick. They do it out of spite because they were hazed as freshman and unfortunately it’s just going to happen again. They’re shallow men that think they’re building a brotherhood when really they’re just training their new guys to haze the next rush class. I wasn’t hazed as a pledge for my fraternity and it’s gonna stay that way AS IT SHOULD! This is horrible stuff like this enrages me.
If you don't want to be involved in stupid; don't join a fraternity, or a sorority for that matter. Fear of missing out is a very dangerous thing for the non-self-aware. Go to a library and read some Plato -- you'll be better equipped for the future than anything that fraternity or sorority hazing can yield. Don't join a fraternity/sorority/cult and you won't need to worry about this garbage. Never take an action which jeopardizes your survival.
@@informationoverload2487 you'd be surprised. It really can be a vicious cycle of "it's my turn now that I'm an upperclassmen" might not be spite but sometimes they do feel a sense of like they deserve to be the hazer now they're an upperclassmen because they got hazed as a freshman.
Hazing is so outdated. Fraternity life never interested me, but fraternities/sororities need to see these videos to prevent unfortunate consequences like this.
It's kind of sad that the family takes no responsibility for their sons actions. Like you have to have enough wits about yourself to walk away if that's what it takes to get into the fraternity bro, smh.
I was taught about peer pressure since I was little both home and school! Don't let the influence of others overcome you! Say NO if you don't want to engage yourself with whatever they're doing! Am sorry to the young man and his family! It's sad
i'm 16 and in highschool and i honestly won't ever deal with any peer pressure. if i feel like i'm being pressured i'll leave immediately and i'm positive i'll never drink alcohol. that's where my religion comes into play lol😅
reminds me of the time i got peer pressured into drinking and when the others were too busy (and drunk) cheering after my first shot, i spit all of it on the floor
@@chelseagomez758 He probably didn't think about that but realistically he could have just dumped out 80% of the bottle and filled it with water, let everyone watch him chugg the 80% volume of liquid, and the other 20% would still taste very "alcohol" like if anyone else were to test the bottle.
Imagine sending your child to college so they can get an education, life experiences, and Jumpstart their future and they come back like this. What awful things they do. Knowing they'll be like this the rest of their life. My heart breaks for them.
We don't have fraternities in Ireland but most of us go through a phase of heavy drinking from 16/17-22 where it's completely normal to drink until you vomit and get into all sorts of insane situations. It's all fun and games but looking back on it I'm surprised we all survived.
For me I never had the desire to do any of that stuff like drinking and doing drugs. I already deal with health problems and don't want anything to do with that stuff.
I recently had visited some friends in Ireland in my age (23) and I understand exactly what you mean. I still wanna throw up just from the scent of vodka
This is sad and it can happen to any young kid that is trying to fit in. Asking someone finish an entire bottle of vodka is just ridiculous. Whoever created that pledge should go to jail for stupidity.
i mean... You know what, yes what they did to him was horrible but I also have an unpopular opinion that the parents also have a hand in this. Raise your kids to be able to think for their benefit and say no to stupid stuff. if it was me, there is no way in hell I would have done any of this. Parents nowadays have little to no diciplin when it comes to teaching their kids what is okay and what is not. like did this kid really not know that it is a BAD idea to drink that much? And that when he didn't feel good why didn't he say anything? where was his phone? why not call anybody? so many things went wrong. I am not blaming the kid because he didn't know any better but shame on these parents. and shame on the kids who took advantage of him.
Jail his parents for letting him attend the hazing too then. You wanna ruin the lives of other boys because this one made bad decisions? It's sad but don't blame the other students.. that's stupidity, should we jail you too?
I think I'd rather be dead than live without my movement, sight and speech but I wouldn't be able to tell anyone...this is really tragic, I hope he isn't suffering too much
Yes...I wonder whether he is unaware of himself or his environment or is conscious yet unable to communicate because of severe paralysis. However...if he remains in a persistent vegetative state past twelve months, it is unlikely he will live out his full life span. Lifespans of adults and children in persistent vegetative states is typically reduced to 2-5 years; survival past 10 years is unusual (N Engl J Med May 26 1994). So there is some mercy.
Glad I never was inclined to "belong" to a group so badly. I love how the fraternity that crippled him for life got to self-proclaim that this "chapter was over", but they can all walk and talk.
He was forced to drink a whole bottle did you not see the footage? The take away should be don’t force people to do anything. Don’t haze, take care of one another .
I can’t watch the rest this is making me sick. That poor kid. His life is ruined and I can’t imagine his mothers pain. When my boys get home from school today I’m going to show them this video. As hard as it is to watch I want them to learn from this. 😢
Seriously,who would have thought such a supposedly small incident which almost everyone in the fraternity takes part in would turn out to be a big life changer for one poor kid. His life went from dreams and aspirations to just surviving. So horrible and sad! May he recovers as soon as possible and get the chance to follow his aspirations again. Life can drastically change in a matter of hours

Or the one who has to mourn one of your loved ones but you're at least still functioning and have a chance of finding real fulfillment and accomplish something you want? I would rather be the latter, by far. The most ethical thing (although maybe not legal) would be to put him down like you do with a sick pet that cannot recover
Honestly no alcohol should ever be allowed in college fraternities, because obviously there’s no responsibility. Peer pressure is too high & no one seems to care. Extremely heart wrenching to see what this young man went through. God bless him❤️🙏
I'm pretty sure most colleges don't allow alcohol on campus but that doesn't stop the frats off campus. Even if they made a rule against having alcohol in the frats, kids will be kids and still sneak it.
Yeah fun fact: in this particular case the person who was supposed to supervise and make sure that nothing like this was going on helped to supply the alcohol. So, the system is absolutely broken.
SIX TIMES THE LEGAL LIMIT??? So you’re telling me this kid had a BAC of .48?? This kid could have easily died from alcohol poisoning alone and then they mishandled him like that,, prayers go out to him and his family
This is why when I’m in college, I actually focus on my studies, and I’m in a great place today because of it. And I never felt like I was missing out. Instead of partying, doing drugs/alcohol and having constant casual sex, I’d instead look into more fulfilling and enriching experiences like studying abroad, sports, academic clubs, etc. Anything else is why our country’s education system is down the toilet.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Parents, this why it's crucial to educate your kids about seemingly mundane things like alcohol consumption and outdated frat hazing.
I couldn’t imagine a neurotypical college student turning into a permanently physically and mentally disabled person that needs assistance 24/7 all because of some stupid hazing. What world do we live in?
a child goes missing to never be seen again every four seconds in america alone...we live in a massive african tire fire.(also, look up african human tire fires or Venezuelan prison guard forces inmates into live cannibalism.)
I spent most of my time at college studying, working a part time job and training mma. I had no time for frats, nor would I allow myself to be disrespected through a hazing process. I dont get why students so adamantly want to join a frat. I was alone throughout most of my college journey, but never felt lonely. Maybe that's just me.
Well I never joined a frat either, but I knew plenty of people who did. They said it was a great way to make friends, and it also led to lots of networking opportunities with alumni after graduating. But I agree with you. Me personally, I never felt lonely, and in my field I never got the sense that being a frat brother was that important to getting jobs. Maybe for other majors it's a bigger deal?
Right!? They’re supposed to look after each other. And what they did wasn’t enough. One or two “frat bros” shoulda stayed with him making him drink water and eat to help him sober up.
I had a friend break his ankle when pledging to a frat house. I honestly can't believe the things people will go through to fit in with a bunch of losers.
My son's going off to this campus this fall. Thank you to the parents for sharing their tragic story with the public. So that many parents like myself can have a serious conversation with our kids. Praying for this family. 🙏❤

True. But its important to make sure the teens actually realize the risk of both death AND and lifelong handicaps for doing things like this. I think the risk of getting crippled for life should deter just about anyone. If someone still does it after that, regardless of peer pressure (unless outright threatened/forced), they're just being an idiot and got no excuse. But its still a punishment more than they deserve.

@You can trust most people. It's when they become a group when you can no longer be so trustful. A single person is almost all the time trustworthy when you build up your relationship. A group can have high tendencies to abuse, use, and treat you like a bag of garbage and won't even mourn for your death. It's not just fraternities or sororities. Even religious groups ironically often treat their members like tools. Like Mormons and JW's. When you become a member, your goal now is to preach and find new members. They don't care about you as an individual.
There was an 80s Vietnam movie called Platoon. I thought it was cool how they separated units in camp between William Defoes unit which was laid back, not racist, cool and weed smokers.

I’m 21, finishing up college. Was at a hall of residence in 1st year where obviously there’s booze everywhere and even in the “non alcoholic building” it was quietly rampant. I refused to give in to peer pressure and play drinking games, which truly is just a euphemism for alcohol abuse. I hardly drink now. I used to a lot then but after a scary experience of lacking control after 6 well-filled glasses of wine within two hours I decided to give drinking up. I’ve never been fully drunk but just seriously tipsy. Always have water and food with alcohol. It’s so sad that young students glorify drinking and voluntarily abuse their bodies for the sake of “fitting in”. I feel amazing, but it’s sad that people admire you for saying you don’t drink only to subtly build peer pressure and ridicule you if you don’t participate. But if that happens then you’re hanging out with the wrong people. Your body is your temple guys (I know it sounds kinda tacky but it’s true), you’ve only got one.

Depends how lucid his brain is, but yeah it's alcohol so I can't imagine it would be good in there.
Wow! I was not expecting those results! That’s extremely sad!
I’m a part of a fraternity and we never forced the use of alcohol in any event. It’s incredibly irresponsible.
Whole concept of fraternity is soo stupid ...need iq in negative to join such things

Very good. Keep people safe, first.
maybe just not forcing a 130lb stick to drink an entire bottle of vodka, and you do realize this was his decision?, not if the frat forced him to stay and drink it that’s a whole different situation
What kind of fraternity is this 😂😭 Saint Simon and Jude
I almost died when I was 16 from hypothermia and alcohol poisoning. All my friends left me at the place we were drinking because my gf at the time was there... all 120 lbs of her and 190lb me. She couldn't get me over the fence we climbed to get in and thank God she called my parents without my consent. My parents brought me to the hospital and the doctors told them if i was outside 30 minutes longer I would have died. If it weren't for her I wouldn't be here right now

The kid had no idea that drinking that much Vodka could kill him. At some point he probably had no idea he was still drinking. It's not his fault he ended up like this. He wasn't even old enough to get the alcohol.
@@GuerinGrad09 In all truth, his parents should've better educated him on what alcohol consumption is, and maybe even slowly ease him into recognizing his drinking limits inside the safety of their family home.
It's better for young adults to experience their first drink at home under parental supervision so they learn to recognize their drinking limits, and learn how to manage their intoxication do that they'll be better equipped when they do go out drinking in the real world.
@@_Just_Another_Guy I agree, I don’t understand who’s fault it is then if it’s not his and anyone who supported alcohol to a minor, but with that said he was well old enough to know what it was and illegally consumed it and well… consumed so much he’s brain dead, it’s not the other guys fault he drank that much nor is it there fault they took the time they did to get him to the hospital, parents should be lucky the boys even cared that much they could’ve all went to sleep and he’d probably be dead currently.
@@GuerinGrad09 yes it’s definitely not his fault.

@@_Just_Another_Guy thing is tho no matter how much ur educated on alcohol if ur social surroundings & the social network around u is pressuring u it’s very common to give in especially as a guy because of toxic masculinity making men think they not manly if they can’t handle their alcohol.

I mean I understand wanting ur friend to be as drunk as u but to pressure anyone into taking a substance leads to exactly these types of situations even mentally disabling ppl for life.

All it takes is one friend that doesnt drink and takes care of the others and everything is gonna be allright
This is sad and it can happen to any young kid that is trying to fit in. Asking someone finish an entire bottle of vodka is just ridiculous. Whoever created that pledge should go to jail for stupidity.
i mean... You know what, yes what they did to him was horrible but I also have an unpopular opinion that the parents also have a hand in this.
Raise your kids to be able to think for their benefit and say no to stupid stuff. if it was me, there is no way in hell I would have done any of this.
Parents nowadays have little to no diciplin when it comes to teaching their kids what is okay and what is not. like did this kid really not know that it is a BAD idea to drink that much?
And that when he didn't feel good why didn't he say anything? where was his phone? why not call anybody? so many things went wrong.
I am not blaming the kid because he didn't know any better but shame on these parents. and shame on the kids who took advantage of him.

Yes...I wonder whether he is unaware of himself or his environment or is conscious yet unable to communicate because of severe paralysis. However...if he remains in a persistent vegetative state past twelve months, it is unlikely he will live out his full life span. Lifespans of adults and children in persistent vegetative states is typically reduced to 2-5 years; survival past 10 years is unusual (N Engl J Med May 26 1994). So there is some mercy.
Yeah this is a fate far worse than death.

I'm pretty sure most colleges don't allow alcohol on campus but that doesn't stop the frats off campus. Even if they made a rule against having alcohol in the frats, kids will be kids and still sneak it.
