Word on the street

(Last updated: 07/07/08 11:18pm)

Research has shown drinking games can be fatal due to alcohol poisoning. What are your thoughts?

“In my experience, drinking games will get you considerably more drunk than just sitting around and drinking. The amount of time you spend playing a couple of games of flip cup or beer pong, you consume probably three or four times as much alcohol.”

“I’m not surprised because every time I’ve played a drinking game I’ve gotten way more drunk than I wanted to be, and I just think it’s not a good idea.”

“I think drinking games can be fun, but when people are peer pressured into drinking too much and it’s considered funny, then that’s when it can lead to problems.”
