(Jason Howerton) A student at the University of Tennessee needed emergency treatment from medical personnel for severe alcohol poisoning on Saturday. The student’s blood alcohol level was thought to be well over 0.40 percent.
None of that may seem too out of the ordinary — it is college, mind you. However, what makes this story unique is the method in which this particular student and his fraternity brothers allegedly used to get wasted. It’s called “butt chugging,” and it’s exactly what it sounds like.
Police believe Alexander P. Broughton, 20, of Memphis ingested alcohol by inserting a tube directly into his “rectum” for “quick and potent absorption,” The Knoxville News Sentinel reports.
“Upon extensive questioning it is believed that members of the fraternity were using rubber tubing inserted into their rectums as a conduit for alcohol as the abundance of capillaries and blood vessels present greatly heightens the level and speed of the alcohol entering the blood stream as it bypasses the filtering by the liver,” Knoxville Police Department spokesman Darrell DeBusk said in a Monday news release.
Broughton’s fraternity, Pi Kappa Alpha, was administratively suspended for 30 days by Pi Kappa Alpha International for the stunt, pending a final decision about its permanent status, UT spokeswoman Karen Ann Simsen said in a statement.
The University of Tennessee Police Department is now leading the investigation.
More from the News Sentinel:

No criminal charges have been filed, although UTPD officers issued a number of citations early Saturday to young men at the fraternity, according to police records.
The suspension will remain in place while campus police investigate.
UT officers responded about 1:30 a.m. Saturday to the University of Tennessee Medical Center emergency room after an unresponsive Broughton was brought in by several young men, according to a UTPD incident report.
The victim appeared to be “extremely intoxicated and showed signs of physical and possible sexual assault,” the report states.
Investigators determined Broughton had received the alcohol enema at the Pike house. Broughton later was transferred to the hospital’s critical care unit.

Is that what it means to be a Volunteer?

At least his frat brothers took him to the hospital. How many others would have just left him to die or go into a coma?

I'm sure Mom and Dad are very happy Junior was getting a college education.

Be safe.

This has been around for years. I was told the most potent alcohol to use is champaigne. Never tried any of it myself...I would expect something like this to burn going in just like most alcohol does going down and that is the last area that I would want that kind of burning sensation.

Would it still be a fart when butt bonging champagine, or would it be classified as a burp? ........
