What killed a drunken college student?
On June 19, Wang Yaodong, a freshman from a 985 university in Guangdong, died in an unknown bar. He died of alcoholism. Before his death, he drank six cups of "special cocktails" made of various spirits, with a total consumption of 1800 ml. At that time, the bar launched a special activity of "drinking six glasses of wine for free in three minutes". Wang Yaodong, who was with friends, joined the "fatal challenge" in cheers.

Some people think that the bar killed Wang Yaodong, so we should not carry out such exaggerated free drinking activities; Some people think that as an adult, Wang Yaodong overreaches himself and can only bear all the consequences himself; Others say: Wang Yaodong's friends don't care enough about him; Some even said that the audience cheering for Wang Yaodong embarrassed the drunken young man, and they were the real culprits.

All these statements are reasonable, but they do not touch the essence of the problem. Yes, the bar, himself, his friends and the audience around him are all responsible for Wang Yaodong's death. As long as one of the conditions is not established, the tragedy will not happen. However, all parties concerned invariably chose the worst option. Faced with this situation, simply blaming one party cannot restore the logic of the whole incident. Wang Yaodong's killer is not a specific person, but a deformed wine table culture.

Wine culture has a long history in China. However, everything has two sides, and the less beautiful "wine table culture" has also become popular. In the context of wine table culture, wine is not used for tasting and enjoying, but a tool for people to prove "sincerity and courage" by self-injury. The more you can drink, the more you dare to drink, and the more you can be respected and praised by the "wine table culture". Ignoring health and reason, binge drinking has become a symbol of "courage and face". The bar where Wang Yaodong died launched this "free drinking" activity, Wang Yaodong stood up and "believed that he was brave", and the people around him cheered, all of which were caused by this wine table culture.

Wang Yaodong was not the first person to die on the wine table, nor will he be the last. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, more than 654.38 million people die of alcoholism every year in China. On this "death list", there are not only young Rainbow Yaodong, but also middle-aged people in their prime. They should have lived in peace. The harmful "wine table culture" transcends the boundaries of age, occupation, status and status, from the unemployed to wealthy businessmen and tycoons, from intellectuals to government officials ... On the wine table, "all beings are equal", and no one can escape.

Wang Yaodong's death was not accidental. As long as the deformed "wine table culture" continues to prevail for one day, there will be new victims. From the individual case, we can blame ourselves or the specific responsible person for the death of these people, but from the macro level, the bad atmosphere of society is the fundamental reason for the recurrence of the tragedy. Only by changing customs and making the society realize the harm of abnormal "wine table culture" can we prevent the next "Wang Yaodong" from dying out.

Yes, wine culture has brought bad social atmosphere and brought danger to people's lives.
