Wow, that's ridiculous. The kid was drunk and fell out a window, that's his fault.
Failure to prevent consumption???
I guess the lesson to be learned is next party you hold with minors present, walk around to every one of them and say "stop drinking".Quote:

Or better yet,
"Failure to prevent increased crime in Ames."
So is it my duty to walk around the tailgate lots and prevent underaged kids from drinking?Quote:

What's the point in sleeping in a big room with all the windows open year round anyway? I think I'd be sick 2/3rd's of the year.
can you imagine sleeping in a closed room with 30 others all year round?Quote:

I think we've found the problem to begin with.Quote:

But is the Iowa State University student that got out of bed and fell out the window going to get charged with underage consumption, especially after asking those of legal age to buy alcohol? Is this a situation where the city just leaves it as a lesson learned?
I wonder if Farmhouse Fraternity will see other suits against here in the near future.
Hope the kid recovers.

A good lesson from the Red Stripe man. Whether it be weightlifting (or drinking...), a very good lesson. It just may prevent falling out of windows.
