BUTT CHUGGING ANYONE?

Okay, either I'm really old, or kids today are getting dumber! Has anyone reading this right now ever heard of "butt chugging"? Apparently, a 20-year-old college student from the University of Tennessee was rushed to the hospital after guzzling large amounts of alcohol through his anus. Yes, I said, "Through his anus!"

The university's fraternity, Pi Kappa Alpha that hosted the boozy stunt has been suspended for 30 days until a decision is made about the chapter's future. Alexander Broughton, a member of the fraternity, was taken to the medical center in Knoxville early Saturday morning after he was found unresponsive. The medical facility determined that Broughton, who is actually from Memphis, was suffering from alcohol poisoning with a blood-alcohol level at a life-threatening .40. Broughton was said to have been treated and released over the weekend. 

Knoxville Police said that the fraternity had allegedly conducted "alcohol enemas," which involved pouring drinks through a rubber tube inserted into the rectum. Did your sphincter just clench like mine did after reading that? What is wrong with people? Apparently, the abundance of capillaries of blood vessels (in the rectum) greatly heightens the level and speed of alcohol entering the blood stream as it bypasses the filtering by the liver. 

 Officials don't believe that the drinking was an act of hazing since Broughton was neither a pledge nor a new student at the university. Alcohol Enemas is apparently not something new either! In 2004, a Texas man died after his wife allegedly gave him a sherry enema. WTF? Charges were dropped on the wife because prosecutors couldn't prove that she was even responsible for his death. At the time, she said that her husband was addicted to alcohol enemas! How can anyone be addicted to alcohol enemas or any enemas for that matter? The only phrase that keeps coming to mind when I read this story is, "Rectum? Damn Near Killed Him!" Seriously! What is this world coming to? Anyone up for a Sake Bomb Enema? WTF?
