Virginia Student Dies In Alcohol-Linked Fall
VIRGINA - A University of Virginia student fell down some stairs and died over the weekend, becoming the fifth Virginia college student killed in an alcohol-related accident in a month.
The student, Leslie Anne Baltz, 21, of Reston fell, striking her head on Saturday night, Virginia police officers said. She died on Sunday at a hospital.
Ms. Baltz's death came days after the State Attorney General, Richard Cullen, created a task force to help curb binge-drinking among students.
Ms. Baltz, a senior honors student, was found unconscious at the bottom of the stairs by three friends. There was no sign of foul play, Detective Richard Hudson said.
The woman's blood-alcohol concentration was more than three times the legal Virginia limit for driving, Mr. Hudson said.

What are "Jello shooters"? These are unpredictable alcohol concoctions. One common recipe is to mix a cup of water with a cup of your favorite spirit (usually vodka, and please don't use 190-proof Everclear) along with a package of Jello. Freeze until firm. (And hope your party guests find them before your kids do.......) A typical shooter will contain the equivalent of 1-2 shots of "your favorite spirit" (depending on the size of the portion) and will produce intoxication in a short period of time. Be careful- because there is no standard recipe, these can be dangerous!
