I agree. No one is forced to drink. If you join a fraternity, you know that heavy drinking is part of it. That doesn’t make it right but you know what you are getting into. The kid probably drank voluntarily but drank way too much and ended up falling into the gorge and getting killed by the fall. I sympathize with the parents for the pain they feel for losing their son. And the urge to blame someone else is understandable in that situation. But that doesn’t make it right. Absent some proof that someone forced him to drink, they need to accept that he did it to himself.
Presumably he had to drink like that to join the frat. It was illegal for him to drink or be served drinks at his age. Also, he died of multiple blunt force trauma and his body was found in a gourge. Was he taken to the gourge? Did he fall? Was he beaten to death? It doesn’t look so good for the frat.
I agree its a choice....but why are universities KNOWING the amount of drinking that goes on support these frats?...why legitimize them?..
