This is over exaggerated by the media like any other issue out there.
Over drinking competitions existed way before Facebook. I remember playing caps or card games in my 20's.
Result is potentially the same, people turn into Alcoholics.
My 2 cents

Let me get this straight...... FB will closely monitor videos depicting bullying, etc ( from which people have died ), yet feel these drinking games ( from which people have died) are merely controversial or offensive to some, and only get a "case by case" look.
Right....makes perfect sense to me.

Is that the "Neknominate" nonsense? Seen vids of people downing bottles of spirits in a oner, drinking booze blended with spiders, dead mice etc, and even people drinking their own ****!
A few well deserved Darwin Awards heading to those folk.

I hope universities are cracking down on fraternities and sororities from the practice of hazing. Freshmen are extremely vulnerable trying to fit in and being away from home the first time.
Yeah, I was gonna say, this kind of crap has been going on for years. I remember reading about "power hour" fatalities in the paper years ago. It seems kind of ironic because the media is supposed to report on things and be knowledgeable, and yet they act like this is breaking news... Come on, seriously.
I try not to become too self righteous after spending decades drinking, it would be pretty hypocritical to now become overly temperance minded and judgmental towards the rest of the world.
I just do my own thing.
