On the evening of Sept. 16, Gordie Bailey and 26 other Chi Psi pledges were blindfolded and left in the woods near Gold Hill. They were told to drink vast amounts of Ten High whiskey and Carlo Rossi wine, according to police.

Even as a hugely ignorant teenager, I knew not to drink "vast amounts" of anything. Sometimes Darwin works.

Plus, if they were "left in the woods," they could have easily poured out all the rotgut and claimed to have drunk it, and no one could have proven them wrong.

Exactly. This pledge was expected to find creative ways to pour out most of the liquor and to ACT drunk, not to drink himself to death.
