News Release  

Statement Regarding GHB, Dangerous Level of Alcohol Abuse By Pauline Hale, CU-Boulder Spokesperson.

Nov. 10, 2005

We are relieved to learn that GHB, commonly called the "date-rape drug," appears not to have been a factor in the recent hospitalizations of students following parties in Boulder. However, we continue to be deeply concerned about the dangerous levels of alcohol use and abuse that night. We will continue to diligently pursue a change in culture and risky behavior among our young people. We also will continue to urge everyone to be very cautious at parties involving alcohol consumption. In addition, we strongly encourage individuals to seek prompt medical attention for anyone showing signs of alcohol poisoning.
