A Night Out With College Pals at a Local College Nightclub Leads To Irresponsible and Abusive Drinking and Alcohol Poisoning
When Janice was in high school, she had obtained a reputation as an individual who hit the books real hard and who rarely, if ever, had fun drinking with her pals. She seemed single-minded about doing well academically so that she would be able to find a career that she not only benefited from but one that also gave her a degree of financial security.
After much reflection, finally she came to a decision that she wanted to be an attorney. In order to do this, however, she would first have to complete four years of undergrad education.
After Finishing High School Janice Gets Accepted Into A Renowned Undergrad University as a Springboard For a Career as a Trial Lawyer
After Janice graduated from high school, she applied to and was accepted into a prominent program in sociology. Her rationale underlying this decision was that this subject area would be a good foundation for law school and wouldn’t be comparable to the majority of law school applicants who pick political science as their undergraduate major.
After graduating with a 3.6 GPA at the undergraduate level, she applied to and was accepted at a celebrated law school at one of the Pacific Ten universities.
She liked her legal studies but every so often she was besieged with all the work that was required at law school. Not unlike her high school and undergraduate days, however, she made pals quite easily but hardly ever got involved in social activities until the semester was completed.
After Being Elated With the Fact That She Had Done Very Well on Her Finals, Janice Wanted to Let Her Hair Down and Do Something Besides Going to College For a Change
Janice was the kind of person who worked thoroughly to finish what she was doing and then would take a breather when she could. It just so happens, nevertheless, that nearly all of the things she did between terms or during her summer vacations were not associated with drinking. It almost goes without saying that Janice was anything but a party-person. Now that her final exams for her second year in law school were done and feeling proud of the fact that she had done extremely well on her exams, nonetheless, she wanted to take a break and do some celebrating.
Drinking at a Local Watering Hole Results in An Alcohol Overdose, Calling The Emergency Number, and An Ambulance Ride to The Hospital
So Janice and several of her friends from the university went to a local tavern where they started to have a few drinks. As the hours quickly passed, Janice continued to drink without having to worry about research projects or exams the following day. In fact, Janice told her friends how thrilled she was to have fun drinking with her law school buddies.
As the evening progressed, Janice and her buddies continued to drink. In point of fact, she was having so much fun that she didn’t want the night to come to an end. It was almost like she was making up for lost time and making an attempt to squeeze a year’s worth of merriment into a single evening. Such a “game plan,” however, infrequently works. In fact, when Janice went to the lady’s room and vomited, her pals started to get anxious about her safety.
About twenty minutes later when Janice started to slur her speech, talk in a confused manner, and then become unconscious, nonetheless, her friends without delay realized that they needed to call 911, the emergency number, and ask for emergency assistance because they thought that Janice was displaying alcohol poisoning symptoms.
Once Janice was in the drug and alcohol rehab hospital, the lead emergency room physician corroborated what her friends had assumed, to be precise, that Janice drank substantially more alcohol than her body could metabolize and, as a consequence, she experienced an alcohol overdose.
After the emergency room treatment team pumped her stomach until no gastric contents were noticeable, Janice was transferred to the recovery room. After staying about four hours in recovery, Janice was then moved to one of the regular hospital rooms. Fortunately, the most dangerous part of her hospitalization was over and all of her vital signs were normal once again.
In response to Janice’s medical circumstances, her pals thoughtfully phoned her Mom and Dad. As a consequence, early the next morning, her Mother and Father and her best buddies went to the hospital to visit Janice and check on her medical condition.

Janice was conscious of the fact that she had dodged a bullet and, as a consequence, was happy to be alive. Her parents realized how intensely she worked at college and how little she permitted herself to have any fun. Nonetheless, they also were aware that Janice needed to steer clear of excessive drinking.
Consequently, they recommended that down the road, whenever a drinking opportunity presents itself, that she always drink responsibly and in moderation. Janice agreed and swore to her parents and to her friends that she would never again drink in an excessive and irresponsible manner. In her own words, “I never thought that I would become one of the alcohol abuse and alcoholism statistics in the local city newspaper. I now grasp the fact that irresponsible and abusive drinking is not for me. I assure everyone that this will never happen again.”
Fortunately, Janice was not only “book smart” but she also displayed a lot of common sense. Stated another way, she rapidly grasped the fact that she had made an error in judgment and decided that she would never make the same error again. If truth be told, she now grasped the fact that she had involved herself in “binge drinking” and that even one instance of this type of alcohol abuse can end in a loss of life.
