When I was a teen I remember a boy had to be taken away from a chaperoned party in an ambulance for alcohol poisoning. The boy looked like death. His face was ashen gray. (Somebody thought it was funny to toss his unconscious body behind a fence. Luckily, some else found him and got him medical attention.) Because he got medical treatment, he was OK.
Here's a link to a foundation started by the parents of a 19 year-old who died from alcohol poisoning:

I can understand the weariness of believing what you read on the Internet. Well, I think what the boy did was drink before he got to the party. Then, as the party was mostly outside on acreage, he kept to the outskirts of the backyard--until he got tossed over the country fence (3-4 ft?). (Maybe someone he knew tossed him over the fence ... someone who didn't want to leave the party and who didn't want to get in trouble?) Though alcohol wasn't allowed at the party, a few teens probably smuggled in bottles.
I'm sure the chaperones did the best they could. Looking back, I think there probably were too many teens to chaperone sucessfully.
They did end the party upon the discovery of the boy.

m_thurson-Good for you for making good choices for yourself!! You may want to check out Al-Anon or Alateen if you haven't already. They help people whose lives are affected by someone else's drinking.

My son is 16 years old and we have discussed just about everything together! Drinking and driving and the alcohol poisoning as well as sex and sex education, diseases and protection. I keep an honest and open relationship with my son and he knows he can come and ask me anything! I thank God every day for such an awesome kid! But there does seem to be alot of teens who dont know the dangers or the just dont care- one or the other!

I live about a mile north of Milwaukee in a city named Appleton WI. Forbes named Milwaukee the drunkest city in the nation. Now I have done some traveling in my life and I would say Wisconsinites as a whole drink more than your average state. Forbes dictates that five or more drinks is binge drinking. I did that last night and I feel fantastic but I am from a family that on my god sons golden birthday (6), my sis got a half barrel. This is a common occurrence. Play sports and drink. Play pocker or cards and drink. Family functions and drink. Now I have seen people vomit from alcohol. I personally have vomited from alcohol and I know that it is your body over doseing on booze but I never seen someone have to go to the hospital. I guess what I am saying in this random story is that how could a kid at a chaperoned party get that far out of control with out somebody noticing. Somebody should have cut that kid off at the first sign of stumble. Drinking is a drug and needs to be treated as such.

My daughter is almost 11 and we have talked about that type of things I also talk to my 15 year old nephew and his 13 year old sister. I believe that if you are honest with your kids at a younger age and continually talk to them that it will help more.
When I was younger in a matter of 4 years I knew 7 people to die of senseless drinking. weather it was their fault from drinking too much, drinking and driving, driving with someone that had been drinking, or the being shot by someone that was drunk.
If you tell your children the real realities of drinking I think that they make more intelligent decisions about it in life.

My mom never talked to me about alcohol or cigarettes or drugs, she was too busy doing them herself.
Yet the very fact that I do not want to turn out like her is the reason I do not indulge in anything worse than chocolate.

The loser adolescents do it via fact they like to be like the team which could no longer care much less approximately them-us adults. it fairly is like the adolescents are the son and the adults are the daddy, binge eating is the son's way of having his father to settle for him. fairly, i'm going to lock the teenager interior the basement with the rats the place he belongs.

Yes...but like most parents, I leave out my first-hand personal accounts.
