Online drinking game 'NekNomination' raises concerns

The new online drinking game NekNomination which involves students posting them selves chugging beer and hard liquor. This trend has started up in Canada, universities and high school officials are going on to social media to warn people about the risks. NekNomination is the blame of two deaths last week in Ireland.
NekNomination originated in the Australia where "Neck" is slang for drink. It started where people filmed them self online drinking heavily and then dare or "nominate" to follow up in the next 24 hours. This swiftly went through Europe and the rest of the world. It takes hold of a region for a couple of weeks until everybody has done it then it will move to another area. Magida El Timani, 21 a student and the University of Guelph says " The drinking is something that happens daily in any college around the world, so that aspect doesn't really shock or bother me. It’s that people are doing it half-naked in the freezing cold. They can get sick and die.”
At Western, director of campus police John Carson calls it a “challenging situation” Both Western and Queens are staring campaigns to encourage students to make NekNominations in NiceNominations. Which are pooping up across Canada and as far as South Africa that shows people giving sandwiches, coffee, chocolate bars, and red Olympic gloves to homeless people.
NekNominations is kids just trying to impress each other. They is not need for people to be punished and turning it into some for people to be nice to each other. The fact that two people is Ireland died just last week needs to stop. People are doing a lot of harm to their bodies and this can also lead to alcohol poisoning. I am glad that university's are doing some thing to stop it.
