“Butt Chugging” Leads To Severe Alcohol Poisoning Of University Of Tennessee Student

A dangerous drinking game known as "butt chugging" sent a University of Tennessee student to the hospital with severe alcohol poisoning.

Early Saturday, 20-year-old Alexander P. Broughton of Pi Kappa Alpha was brought to the emergency room and showed a blood-alcohol level thought to be “well over” .4, according to the Knoxville News Sentinel. They believe he ingested the alcohol by butt chugging. Broughton appeared to be “extremely intoxicated and showed signs of  possible sexual assault,” a report obtained by the Knoxville News Sentinel states.

In case you didn't know, butt chugging was formally known as an alcohol enema. An individual basically "drinks" the fluid into his or her rectum with a tube or hose. The alcohol's effects come quickly and potently. You might remember the "Vodka tampons" and "Hand Sanitizer" drinking going around last year. the effect are similar.
