A Friday Night Out With Buddies From College At A Local Nightclub Leads To Abusive Drinking And An Alcohol Overdose

When Lois was in high school, she had established a reputation as a person who hit the books real hard and who rarely, if ever, partied with her pals. She seemed single-minded about excelling academically so that she would be able to find a career that she not only got pleasure from but one that also gave her some financial stability.

After Lois graduated from high school, she applied to and was accepted into an esteemed program in history. Her reasoning for this decision was that this subject would be good training for law school and would not be comparable to the bulk of law school applicants who major in political science at the undergraduate level.

Lois was the kind of person who worked in a diligent manner to reach her goal and then would take a break when she could. As it turns out, however, a large number of the things she did between school sessions or during summer breaks did not have much of anything to do with drinking. Needless to say, Lois was anything but a party-girl. Now that her final exams for her second year in law school were over and pleased that she had done extremely well on her exams, nonetheless, she wanted to take a respite from school and have some fun.

So Lois and a number of her friends went to a local bar where they had a few beers. As the evening went by, Lois and her classmates continued to drink. In fact, she was having such a wonderful time that she didn't want the night to come to an end.

After drinking about forty minutes when Lois began to slur her speech, talk in a confused manner, and then fall unconscious, nevertheless, her friends instantaneously knew that they needed to call that they needed to call 911 and ask for emergency assistance because they suspected that Lois was manifesting alcohol poisoning symptoms.

Lois was very aware that she had narrowly escaped death due to an alcohol overdose and, as a result, was happy to be alive. At the same time, however, she was somewhat depressed knowing that she had almost passed away the previous night. Her Mom and Dad knew how hard she studied at school and how little she permitted herself to have any fun. Nevertheless, they also were aware that Lois needed to steer clear of careless and excessive drinking.

As a result, they suggested that in the future, whenever a drinking situation unfolds, that she always drink in moderation. Lois agreed and assured her friends and her Mother and Father that she would never again drink in an irresponsible and abusive manner. In her own words, "I never thought that I would become one of the alcohol poisoning statistics in the local university newspaper. I now grasp the fact that irresponsible drinking is not for me. I assert that this will never happen again."

Fortunately, Lois was not only "book smart" but she also displayed a lot of. In other words, she quickly understood that she had made a mistake and made up her mind that she would never make the same error again. In point of fact, she now knew that she had involved herself in "binge drinking" and that even one instance of this type of careless drinking can end in death.
