  • She drank... She may have just got a bad hangover

  • she deserved to die

  • yo its zHu2L---

  • So allow the 15 yr old girl to drink so much she passes out and vomits, but just make sure to tilt her head sightly.

  • @Mcpanicfanic Where in the video does it promote anything about getting drunk at 15?

    You're missing the main point here.

    It's merely stating that if a friend doesn't take your advice and gets too drunk, then you should always be aware of what to do if they pass out.

    20% of teenage choking deaths through unconsciousness via alcohol consumption could have been avoided by simply placing them on their side/recovery position.

    Anyone with an enhanced first aid qualification will tell you this.

  • whiteyyyyyyyyyyyyy

    

  • roofied

  • Comment removed

  • Why is the promoted video title 'Love Shocking Videos?' it should be more like 'How you can save a life' or such.

  • @BloodfelX It may be because this is Youtube and hardly anyone would click on a video called How you can save a life!

  • @philtabest Hm...sadly true. :<

  • nice video clip

  • that's deeeeeeeeeeeep yo

  • its her own fault

  • I saw this when I went to the cinema to watch Harry Potter. It was the biggest buzz kill evah.

  • Stop joking about this, once I died on alcohol and my best friend raped me

  • Id have never have thought about turning a mate on his side when he passes out O.O

  • i really feel bad 4 that girl she died this can happen in real life so dont drink to much or dont smoke ....... god bless that girl .....xxxx

  • Thank god 'Wheatley is the best at flirting' is in the related videos bit, so I can cheer myself up.

  • Light weight.

  • People underestimate the message in this video. This has happened countless times, and people don't realise that this does actually happen and has killed people before. If anything, I thank the British red Cross for uploading this; it reminds us the seriousness of alcohol (both the effects of it and the other damages it can create, like the one in this video). People, just watch the video and think what if it was one of your friends, or worse yet, you.

  • well I LIKE CHEESE

    

  • @terrenceistheman best comment ive ever read hahaha

  • ...lightweight.

  • That's what happened to Jimi Hendrix.  Lying in bed he drowned in is own vomit.

  • @NiallMS Yep. It's a shame.

  • This is a good thing to have people know for when their friends fall into that unfortunate state, really! It's good these subjects are brought to light, however...I seriously do question how this video is promoted with the tagline "Love Shocking Videos?".

    I don't know if it's just me, but I'd hate to think of the demographic YouTube were promoting this video towards, as opposed to the people this video should *really* be targetted at. I dunno, welcome to 2011. Blergh. =P

  • @terrenceistheman I don't get it, how's that funny?

  • @terrenceistheman lmaoooooo

  • thats a good vid that :)

  • this video is giving very good advice, you should listen.

  • University is going to be awesome.

    

  • A great video about helping to keep your mates alive after they've had too much drugs and/or alcohol.

    Shame that there's racism, ignorance and trolling in the comments.

  • youtube asks for a word to be written, where do you write it, please help!!

  • aw thats my friend sally at 0:03 :) x

  • We usually throw our drunk friends into the backseat of a car.

  • Outlawing alcohol? Really? Try going over your history. It doesn't work, remember prohibition?

  • How abouts making alcohol illegal all together? seeing as more harm comes out of it than benefits ...logic over desire.

  • @Osamabindansker I believe that if alcohol was made illegal it would be pushed underground and practised illegally thus promoting something simular to the drug culture. Alcoholics would do anything to get their hands on it and naive people would drink it illegally, causing a whole array of problems.

  • @xxxRossRachxxx only if the government leaves stupid loopholes in the law. anyways , alcohol isnt that easy to make .. this kind of problem wouldnt occur as much ..espeacially in the U.K where you cant smuggle anything in except via ferry ..

  • i need to stop drinking i c 2 screens..?!... ;)

  • @ProfessorHess

    Yeah, only because the age restrictions on alcohol in the US are much higher than the rest of the world.

  • I didn't like this vid because I tried too hard to spot the difference before she passed out.

  • Gross.

  • LAWL

  • Maybe get to the root cause of the problem... Binge drinking... or being born

  • Isn't this a first world problem . . .

  • Maybe these kids should stop partying so hard aye?

  • Alternatively, don't drink so much.

  • LoL kids these days cant even drink without getting in trouble, what a losers.

  • I think I heard Led Zeppelin died of this =(

  • she;s too young to drink

  • I think the british should worry about the rioting and looting atm... Before anything else lol.

  • so, so bad. 

  • I thought this was gonna be an anti-drunkrape ad.

  • @jeffXedge haha they've not removed your comment because they probably think you're meanign that in a positive way

  • @MikeH1986MikeH haha way to thumbs up a rape joke, idiots.

  • @jeffXedge Haha they've deleted it now, and my comment!

  • I kinda noticed she is in trouble when she warped all around the house

  • i have reddit on my other tab

  • Give her another shot and she'd be fine.

  • Also known as "the Recovery Position".

    Go learn first aid. Its invaluable.

  • ...and nothing of value was lost.

  • nice. finally something sensible! i know someone who became brain damaged from lack of oxygen from the same stupidity.

    know your freaking limit, and keep an eye out for others. so many lives could be saved.

  • My niece's 15 year old friend died just a few days ago from this. His older brother and friends left him alone in the basement with bucket to puke in.

  • Hello

  • Known this for years because my parents told me about the guy from some 70s rock band died for that reason.

  • Atleast you would die like the legendary Bon Scott!

  • Haha, here's some first aid for you...PUT YOUR FINGERS DOWN YOUR THROAT, SPEW, THEN KEEP ON DRINKING YAYYYYYYY SPRING BREAAAAAKKKKK WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

  • That's how Jimi Hendrix died... I think he had a penis drawn on his face also.

  • Oh hai reddit.

  • "I wanna be popular!!"

  • @BloodRedChorizo

    hm... i would do something more kinky ;)

    

  • I like how binge drinking is such a part of everyday life in the UK, that the Red Cross sees fit to run PSAs about "how to make sure people don't die when they pass out drunk"

    Are there similar ads on how to deal with injuries incurred as a result of knife crime, or how do deal with head injuries inflicted by the police because you were seen on CCTV wearing a hoodie and didn't produce your ID quick enough?

  • Dangers of drinking too much alcohol? Death.

    Dangers of smoking too much weed? Laughing and having fun.

  • back in my HS days i remember some kid dying due to choking on his vomit. this spawned a short lived morality escapade. there were a record number of medical calls for passed out people at parties. as everyone was underage there were also some heavy 5 or 6 month juvenile detention sentences along with healthy probation. after a few kids got such convictions people quit calling the medics. in the US i think there is to much punishment for a teenager to call a medic in these situations.

  • If she passes out, make her not pass away. I've heard about a 16 years old guy chocking in his own vomit after having been left lying on is back after a party. This could have saved his life.

  • This is why I smoke weed, I don't have to worry about dyeing from smoking too much.

  • Man i'm so pissed i missed the auditions for this part. I've been training forever for it!

  • How come the side, specifically? Why not on her stomach? Not a troll question, just curious...

  • how about that 12 year old looking girl learns some self control

  • How about we just let natural selection do its own thing...

  • this party looks banging

  • @BloodRedChorizo What you are doing is just as important.

  • she got drunk with apple juice?

    "alcohol is the distruction of mankind"-bob marley

  • It's 999 in Britain?

  • @rossmartinet That's no way to party, dude!

  • Isn't she like... 4?

  • @rossmartinet Welcome to England.

  • how about not letting them drink to the point of getting drunk and passing out?

  • This is dated. Please call 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3 for emergencies

  • @BloodRedChorizo push them on their side THEN draw the penis on them... its a win win

  • Did you know that 90% of statistics are made up on the spot. This is a good video and all, but there is NO way you have those statistics (one in seven... dont just make stuff up to scare people.) I think this video is good though.

  • You wouldn't download an unconscious friend.

  • who dies like this ever?

  • this infintely beats learning first hand , by having to shake someone choking on sick until they breathe again

  • A good old prank is to write something on her eyelids...

  • Don't...drink...to get...drunk?

    Alcohol is a pretty harsh drug, dunno why people casually drink.

  • My sister asphyxiated because she drank too much and the people she was with were not smart enough to do exactly this! This message needs to get out! People will always drink to the point of sickness and trying to curb drinking is foolish when this one simple move saves lives!

  • 999? I always thought it was 01189998819991197253

  • One of my very close friends had a party and a boy died in her mothers bed for this reason. Very heartbreaking and unnecessary. I hope this is taken seriously.

  • I have a better idea. Dont drink kids. I did for a couple of years in my "golden period" and it just sucks. Smoke weed and do some fun shit.

  • @rossmartinet

    They're going to drink that much, jesus. Might as well show them how to do it more safely.

  • That's a life-saver with the added benefit of, while they're on their side, you're at a perfect angle to shave the back of their head.

  • So much better then just saying don't drink. This can really save peoples lives, way to go!

  • TIL

  • Shave half her head and then roll her on her side. She will consider reducing the alcohol intake next time.

  • she deserves to die

  • She really needs to get that screen tearing sorted out...

  • Jimi Hendrix?

  • ^_^

  • If you laid them on their side, wouldn't they just fall over if they move in their sleep?

  • I once had to save a girl (Stranger) from getting taken to the side and rapped by this bastard who had his eye or her from the beginning, kept getting her drink after drink until she totally passed out. Were friends now!

  • @AnarchoHumanism You wouldn't let the rapper lay down a nice verse? Thats mean.

  • @bergenz7 I shouldn't laugh at that, but I did. I'm going to hell.

  • @AnarchoHumanism why do you hate rappers?

  • @AnarchoHumanism And why aren't you guys friends anymore?

  • @AnarchoHumanism Friend zoned after that? That's harsh

  • @AnarchoHumanism but what about the girl?

  • @rossmartinet don't yell at jesus

  • Turn them on their stomach and....

  • @methal666 puke all over their faces ha

  • Why wouldn't you want to save a friends life. Should be tought in schools. Much more relevant than naff physics and boring maths. Thumbs up folks!

  • @fishandclips it was taught in my school's Health class. :D

  • @fishandclips Not everyone parties with friends. And not everyone gives a shit about others in need. I completely agree that drug/alcohol/etc. first-aid should be taught to younger people.

  • @fishandclips I think I learnt something like this when i was in school.

  • Really inspiring message from the Red Cross

  • Every teenager should see this video. Great message

  • Powerful video with a powerful message.

  • Reminds me of last Saturday night! Seriously though, look out for your friends, and know your limits!

  • Great cause!

  • Absolutely love this film. Just hope that people's lives are saved by watching it and perhaps learning first aid. Well done.

  • @swimmernan Why don't you just discourage drugged out chemical fiends to begin with? You don't need to destroy the fragile organs that keep you alive to have fun. I realize most people can't stand their sober selves and love fantasy more than reality, but a lack of education is no reason to commit suicide.

  • @swimmernan just goes to show how little we have to do to get a message across. some people like to bomb things I guess
