Maybe the threat of criminal charges will stop some of this stupidity and save lives from being permanently ruined or ended altogether.

If this was someone giving another person a dose of heroine and that person died then there would be murder charges

An individual is responsible for their own individual actions.

Someone gave this man enough alcohol to nearly kill him. He may never be normal again. If I buy a single beer at a convenience store for an underage kid or even a pack of smokes I would be charged. This man was under 21 years of age. You liberals should put your collective minds together and decide.

Nothing in the question referenced being liberal or conservative. Or abortion for that matter. Why bring it up? As for the question, I too think all parties involved need to be held responsible for this. Charge them all to the fullest extent possible.
