Recent Death from Alcohol Poisoning

I just recently came across a news report talking about the death of a 19 year old college student and thought it would be a good idea to share the article with you guys. The news article stated that the unnamed student had consumed "a substantial amount of alcohol" in a very short period of time. This article made me think of my group project, BAC Up and the video of the man drinking an entire bottle of Whiskey in 13 seconds. I feel that when people see things of this nature posted to the internet, they start to believe that they can do the exact same thing and be perfectly fine! In this case, that was clearly not the truth. The news article also went on to say that in the time before her death, the young student had consumed large amounts of hard alcohol. When the autopsy was performed, she was found to have passed away due to ethanol intoxication.
I strongly believe that if BAC Up (or something very similar to it) was out on the markets, alcohol related deaths such as this one could be prevented. Overall, there would be less deaths from both alcohol poisoning and alcohol induced comas. When people pass out from the over consumption of alcohol, it is hard (actually impossible!!) to tell how they are truly doing internally. People could have went to check on this young girl and just assumed she was drunk and had fallen asleep as a result of her alcohol induced state. Young people tend to think this type of consequence just comes with drinking when in reality it is a very serious occurrence. Honestly, this is a very idiotic way to think! If anyone EVER passes out after drinking they should be taken to the hospital. Individuals around them should never assume that they are sleeping! If young people were more educated about the effects of alcohol, they would understand that it is not all fun and games. 
Due to the constant occurrences such as this one, I strongly believe that a different approach should be taken to combat things of this nature. BAC Up would be of great benefit to people everywhere, and especially to young students who are killing themselves because they do not know when enough is enough!
