one of the bands at Rendezvous this year gave a lecture about friends watching
out for friends. This is an outrage but the response from the University
of Idaho seems to be nothing more than deafening silence. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>If this had been a heroin overdose, there would be outraged
cries to find the distributor of the heroin involved to extract justice.
But with the sacred cow of legal alcohol drug distribution, supplying large
quantities of alcohol on someones 21st birthday, in the reasoning of many,
in no way indicates profit making distributors of alcohol have any
responsibility for Harris's alcohol overdose. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Alcohol is too powerful and dangerous a drug for businesses
to be supplying numerous shots of hard liquor, without warnings of the lethal
dangers, to someone who at 21 may lack the experience and awareness of medical
facts to fully realize it can directly kill due to an overdose,.
Perhaps those purchasing birthday drinks (I think some bars give away free
birthday drinks) on their 21st birthday should be handed literature and/or
warnings that alcohol is a powerful drug that can result in an lethal overdose,
something that I doubt occurred in this case:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>MOSCOW, Idaho — Police say a University of Idaho senior died of
respiratory arrest, apparently due to alcohol poisoning after a night of
drinking to celebrate his 21st birthday.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Emergency personnel responded to a report of an unconscious man at Sigma Nu
fraternity at 2:42 a.m. Tuesday. They located Benjamin Harris of Burley on the
third floor and began CPR. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Gritman Medical
Center.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Assistant Police Chief David Duke says Harris may have had as many as 15
shots in two-and-a-half hours as he celebrated his birthday Monday night.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>A preliminary investigation indicated Harris died of respiratory arrest
caused by alcohol poisoning. The cause of death will be determined by the
medical examiner after review of the toxicology reports<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Police were told by fraternity members that Harris and three other friends
had gone out to celebrate his birthday and visited four clubs in the downtown
Moscow area, Duke said. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>“The shots of alcohol were taken sometime between 9:30 and
midnight,” Duke said. “We believe at the minimum of 15 shots had
been taken. As far as total amount — it would be hard to determine
that.” <o:p></o:p></p>
<p> He said they believe more alcohol was consumed than originally
reported, but they are waiting for toxicology reports to return in six weeks to
determine a more accurate amount. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>“Excessive alcohol is lethal, and in this case it proved lethal to Mr.
Harris,” Duke said. <o:p></o:p></p>
