i do NOT understand how some can always know their limits of drinking. the very first reaction to alcohol is inhibition and to loose judgement. the student at Penn state knew not any limits, certainly after taking the 1st gulps. he did not know he would die. At the point anyone is black out drunk, it becomes the responsibility of those around the drunk person. too much of this talk sounds dangerously close to blaming the victim. often in sexual assault cases esp. when the victim knows the aggressor, it takes time for the victim to realize he/she was attached at a time he/she could not consent.
