My friend's sister died last night.
I didn't know her that well, and, frankly, I didn't like her all that much, but it is so sad...it was so preventable.
She died from alcohol poisoning. She was 17 years old. I am so sad about this. I heard last night that it had happened, but I didn't know that that was her.
This makes me so mad...I can't believe it happened. I can't believe she was partying that hard, and that her friends didn't stop her after she obviously had had too much.
I'm so sad now :(

5. thanks to the idiot anti-drug campaigns by our guvmint
many kids think you can be killed by marijuana but alcohol can't kill a person. So many kid die each year of alcoholic poisoning. It is so so sad.

7. That is very sad.
This danger is something that needs to be brought to the media more. People just don't KNOW that they can die from alcohol poisoning, truly. That is why friends don't stop them. Different people react to alcohol differently, and often (or usually!) people are not keeping tabs on how their friends, or they themselves, are drinking.

Alcohol is the most poisonous drug out there, for many people.

8. It is so sad...and
I just found out that it was her best friend that found her. I can't imagine what she is going through...that is so terrible.
There was 3 of them drinking, and I guess her friends parents gave them the alcohol. This is so depressing.
