A University of Tennessee student from Memphis was treated and released over the weekend for alcohol poisoning, after police said his fraternity was using alcohol enemas.

The UT Knoxville chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha has been suspended.

The fraternity, also known as PIKE, is based in Memphis.

Early Saturday morning, 20-year-old Alexander Broughton arrived at U.T. Medical Center in Knoxville.

He was reportedly unresponsive and in critical condition, with a blood alcohol level over .40. That’s five times the legal limit.

A local newspaper reported the person who took Broughton to the hospital told police their fraternity had been pouring alcohol through rubber tubing into their rectums.

Well, college students have been known to do some pretty stupid things

...like pouring vodka into your eye to get drunk...

Someone must have been watching the cable TV show MANSWERS. They had a segment on the fastest way to get drunk. and that was it.

Ingesting alcohol through your rectum?

Rectum?

Damn near killed him.

Can you guess what their party registrations were?

I was in a fraternity and 99% of fraternity members are conservative/Republican... yeah we did stupid stuff like this..and worse...

I have a simple rule I live by. My butt only goes in one direction, out.

Who thought this idea up, did they have an S&M prostitute there? Hey, I’ve got a great idea?

Frat guy: I’m going to stick this hose up your butt and...

Wanna be frat guy, sure, sounds like a plan.

Like Ripley said in Aliens, did IQ’s just drop sharply while I was gone?

takes all the fun out of drinking!

Sick as it sounds, clysters were used to give tobacco and alcohol (and other) enemas from the 17th through 19th centuries, mainly in France. Of course, during the same period, it was also popular to have tobacco smoke blown up your rectum.

Maybe this was part of a living history project. </sarcasm>

I admit doing a few crazy things in college, but this is so beyond gross.

I can anticipate the Time and Newsweek headlines as butt chugging spreads across the nation:

Time- “Butt Chugging-The New Crack”

Newsweek- “Butt Chugging- Must we turn the other cheek?”

There will be calls for immediate legislative action to ban the scourge of Butt Chugging.

The Surgeon General will issue a report “Butt Chugging- a fundamental epidemic”

Senator Foghorn will proclaim “I for one will not bend over while the specter of Butt Chugging haunts our youth. Butt Chugging must stop. It is deadly, it is immoral, it is somewhat painful and messy at times.”
