Nine hospitalized at The Game
Despite stricter regulations announced prior to Saturday’s tailgate, the number of alcohol-related hospitalizations at this weekend’s Harvard-Yale festivities increased dramatically from when The Game was last held in Boston.
Nine people were transported to the hospital on Saturday for alcohol-related reasons, a spokesman for the Harvard University Police Department, Steven Catalano, said Monday. In 2006, two students were removed from the tailgate for alcohol poisoning, though only one was taken to the hospital, Harvard officials said at the time.
Both totals, however,...
That shouldn't really be a surprise. Not only was it freezing cold, but when people can't drink openly and relaxed, they cram it into a short timespan, overdo it, and get sick. I don't know why Harvard hasn't figures that out yet.
I can't believe people even bothered to drink that much. Harvard killed the tailgate this year. Killed it dead.
If the Yale crowd could have gotten at him after the game, Siedlecki would have been #10.
yes lets blame harvard for idiot students getting too drunk during the Game.
Really, C'mon?
well yes, let's blame Harvard and their refusal to recognize that college kids are going to get drunk at tailgates and football games no matter what - and at Harvard, the way people do it is to binge unsafely before they even get there.
Harvard's restrictions just encourage binge drinking, which is why people only get hospitalized at their tailgates and not ours.
why do you guys have to expose them for failing to enforce rules? clearly it allowed everyone to have a good time... it would be better if you just turned a blind eye.
but of course, you have to sensationalize everything. thanks a lot.
Was anyone hospitalized at last year's Game or previous ones at Yale?
