“Lucky” and “blessed” are the curious words University of Wisconsin police chief Susan Riseling used to describe the fact that no UW student has died this semester as the result of excessive alcohol consumption.
A report detailing the worst cases – students so trashed that they couldn’t stand, sit up, extricate themselves from their own bodily discharges, identify their surroundings and/or blow into a Breathalyzer – was open on the conference table in front of her. Riseling searched for the proper verbiage to express her relief that no autopsies have been needed.
