TEMPE, AZ (CBS5) - A 19-year-old Arizona State University student with a blood-alcohol level five times the legal limit was left at a Tempe hospital with a Post-it note attached to his body to alert doctors he had been in a drinking competition earlier in the night.
Tempe police Sgt. Michael Pooley said the unidentified student was found in a wheelchair between 1 and 2 a.m. Saturday in the emergency room lobby of St. Luke's Hospital.
The student had passed out and started shaking and turning blue before the student's fraternity brothers dropped him at the hospital with the note, "I've been drinking and I need some help," police said.
Pooley said the fraternity brothers tried taking the victim to one of their homes because they were afraid of getting into trouble with the police before deciding to go the emergency room.
The student consumed about 20 shots of tequila during a drinking competition earlier in the night, a police spokesman said. By the end of the night, the student's blood-alcohol level was 0.47 percent. The legal limit before a person is considered intoxicated in Arizona is 0.08 percent.
The student told Tempe police that he and his brothers belonged to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.
It was not clear whether the drinking competition was at an official fraternity-sponsored event.
The spokesman said the student would be cited for consuming alcohol as a minor.
The police department was continuing its investigation, and said more charges could be coming.

“My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.”
You’d think that someone would have stayed with him out of concern.
Jerks.
“How many frat boys does it take to screw in a light-bulb?”
Looking back, I was a real idiot when I was 19. I won't touch Canadian Club to this day.
Geez, some band of “brothers”.
I’m so glad I’m a woman.

I am a Teke and we thought we were bad.
The kid is lucky to be alive with a BAC that high. If he hadn’t been quickly found by hospital staff he likely would have died of respiratory arrest or an obstructed airway. In my years in EMS I had some scary situations with patients having BAC as high as 0.27...unless they had been chronic alcoholics with a high tolerance they inevitably went into respiratory arrest.
EDNA?!!! EDNA!!! You get your ass off that picnic table table and come back home!!! The pigs need sloppin’.
The young man is lucky to be alive.
Who the hell’s been drinking Pepsi?!
how big of shots? your typical shot in a bar is 1 oz- so 20 shots is less than a fifth.
“Sig Eps. Those guys had a repuation at Virginia Tech back in the day.”
Interesting. I graduated from VaTech in 1974 with a BS in CS. We were still required to live in the dorms during Sophomore year, and my roomie (and his girlfriend) were incorrigible drunks. He was a member of some fraternity that I didn’t pay much attention to and fortunately he eventually moved out of our dorm room and started living at the fraternity. I remember going there one time. The place was dark and filthy, and it was some kind of all-weekend drunkathon, with spilled beer and vomit everywhere. I wonder if that’s the fraternity you mentioned. (On the other hand, I think there were several VaTech fraternities during that period that met the above description.)
That was the Sig Ep at my school. My frat was slightly better.
Overall, a regrettable experience. But I learned something. "Animal House" was a documentary.
There certainly were when I was there. Sigma Nu was all that PLUS they stiffed my band for performing at their cesspool of a frat house.
My girlfriends wouldn’t, but would not have taken that first drink either.
Yes, they should have written it on his forehead.
post-it notes can fall off in the waiting room
The police department was continuing its investigation, and said more charges could be coming.
Proof that there is no situation so bad that it can't be made worse by adding cops.
Molson Canadian, Pepsi, Budweiser, coffee, and Corona... With a Hudson’s Bay Company candy blanket in the background. Where was this picture taken, at some kind of NAFTA nudist party?
0.47 is darned close to being embalmed, or nearly dead, at 0.40.
