Binge drinking deadly for adults
DEAR ABBY: I’m writing regarding
“Worried Mom” from Montana, who
is frightened about her children
drinking “21 shots” on their 21st
birthday. She is rightfully concerned
about this so-called “rite of passage.”
We lost our daughter, Kim, to binge
drinking two years ago on Nov. 25.
She consumed between 22 and 24
shots in a four-hour period and died
in her dorm room. She was only 18.
self in? No.
We now have a Web site that lists the signs
of alcohol poisoning and what to do. The
URL is www.kimsawareness.net.
To lose a child over a senseless mistake
causes pain that never goes away. Young
adults must realize that if they indulge in any
kind of binge drinking, they could never see
tomorrow.
— MOTHER WHO’S BEEN THERE,
UPPER DARBY, PA.
DEAR MOTHER: Please accept my deepest
sympathy for your loss, as well as my thanks
for reaching out to warn parents and young
adults about this practice. If your letter saves
even one life, your effort will have been
worth it. After “Worried Mom’s” letter
appeared, I was deluged with mail. Read on:
DEAR ABBY: In Minnesota, the practice is
called “Power Hour,” and the person turning
21 tries to drink 21 shots between midnight
and 1 a.m. of his or her birthday. We begged
our son not to do it. We told him the danger.
He, too, insisted, “It’s fine!” At 1:30 a.m. we
got a phone call from the hospital where he
spent the next 12 hours on life support. We
were lucky. Our son nearly died. This foolish,
dangerous practice can lead to tragedy.
Beware!
MINNESOTA MOM

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(December 1). This year,
you’ll experience a brighten¬
ing and lightening phenome¬
non that perks up every comer
of your life. You are learning
how to communicate with
clarity. Business arrangements
are far more creative and
interesting than they were last
year — finances reflect the
improved situation. There are
many happy times ahead with
Taurus and Pisces. Your lucky
numbers are: 11,40,29, 34
and 50.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
The ancient poet Rumi says to
greet everything that comes to
our door as if it were a guide
from beyond. Lately, you have
been meeting the same
“guide” over and over.
Change is hard but possible.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
The planets test your confi¬
dence. Try this technique with
new people you meet: Shake
hands with the intent of send¬
ing your joy through the other
person’s palm and straight
into his or her heart.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

My heart goes out to the parents of that young
man.
— READER IN KNOB NOSTER, MO.
DEAR ABBY: I’m surprised that “21 shots”
nonsense is still happening. I witnessed it
twice when I was in the Air Force and col¬
lege. The first time, the guy tried to drink a
fifth of whiskey. He died on the way to the
hospital. The second guy tried to drink a case
of beer in one sitting. He was hospitalized for
weeks and was never the same again. Alcohol
should not be necessary to have a fun time —
but getting that across isn’t easy.
— SILVER FOX, SEVEN HILLS,
OHIO
DEAR ABBY: If my daughter hadn’t had a
friend who brought her home to me, she
would have died from binge drinking.
Luckily, I was able to get her to the ER on
time. Literally hundreds of kids die every
year because of this. A college Web site —
www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov —
addresses this issue in a fact-based, peer-run,
straight-forward forum. Let “Worried Mom”
and other concerned parents know about it.
This is a plague among our children.
Knowing the facts is the only way to keep
from dying.
— THANKFUL MOTHER, VENTU¬
RA, CALIF.
Horoscopes by Holiday
you are getting matters off to a
spirited start. Later, you can
expect wacky, nutty, fall-on
the-ground-laughing, good
fortune. Tell everyone you
know.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
What you share with Scorpio
and Capricorn people has
meaning and far-reaching con
sequence. But be lighthearted
about it. In general, you could
use more fun in your life. Plan
something.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Improving slightly every day
is so much more valuable than
running a marathon every so
often. Reflection and self-care
shouldn’t be considered a
treat. What would you be like
if this were a regular part of
your being?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Friends help friends. So this
drama in your circle that has
one person tearing down the
character of another is utter
nonsense and has nothing to
do with friendship. Distance
yourself from negativity.
Refuse to discuss it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Finding love tends to be an
instinctual endeavor for you,
but your personal life could
improve if you used a more
conscious approach. Write
down what you are looking
for in a relationship.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Your actions are the proof
of what is important to you —
period. Try to hold others to
the same principal. You are
probably letting someone very

tragic news that a service member
had died after “celebrating” his
21st birthday by drinking 21
shots. It turned out to be his last
birthday. The cause of death was
alcohol poisoning. Despite all the
warnings and lectures, it still hap¬
pened.
Please, parents, tell your chil-
charming ignore your prefer
ences and boundaries.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22
Dec. 21). You receive infor¬
mation that you understand
intellectually, but the meaning
hasn’t seeped into your bones,
cells and imagination just yet.
Real-life experience will bring
the lesson home,
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). At some time, all winners
reach the point where you’re at
today. Put the call out to the
Universe: You need coaches,
mentors, guides ... anyone who
knows more than you do about
the “game” you’re playing.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Clarify your objectives
before you step out of your
front door. Home is where you
can work everything out. On a
romantic note, someone shy
who has worshiped you from
afar is now ready to worship
you from anear.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Why stay home when the big
attraction is miles away from
the living room couch? The
truly spontaneous will pack an
overnight bag and get going
on the journey to romance and
adventure.
