An MIT student named Scott Krueger died from alcohol poisoning in a similar incident back in 1997. He died when is BAC went north of 0.4.

MIT ended up paying out $6 million as a settlement, of which $4.75 mil went to the dead man's parents.

In my misspent youth I once woke up in an emergency room where, I was told, my blood alcohol level was 0.4. My eye was sewn shut, I was in a neck brace (precaution only) and I had no real memory of the night after challenging a clearly alcoholic guy at the bar to a drinking contest. I always assume I won but some might have a different interpretation.

Analysis: MIT students have big brains and each brain cell is super important so when they lose half, they die. In my case, losing half my brain cells in one night made no discernible difference except a cool scar next to my eye that I tell people I got in a duel.

Back around 1968 a fellow HS senior’s brother died of alcohol poisoning following an extremely heavy summer night’s drinking on the local beach.........

I remember that case.

I also remember that Scott was not held down and had booze forced down his throat.

The settlement was ridiculous.
