I watched it some last season, but only caught the finale of this season that aired last night. Unbelievable! At least a couple people on the show lost over 50% of their original weight.
The winner, Erik, went from over 400 pounds to under 195. Look at these before and after photos:

Hard to even believe this is the same guy!

At the university where my husband teaches, the paper used to publish in the campus "police blotter" incidents of alcohol poisoning (for which a student had to be rushed to a hospital). The paper stopped that practice after it was discovered that the various classes (fresh, soph etc) had a competition going to see who had the most cases of alcohol poisoning.
Totally depressing.:shakeshead:
It's a growing problem. I had a friend who stopped breathing 3 times in Jamaica because he over did it. He is very lucky. He wasn't trying to binge...he just didn't pay attention to how much he was drinking...triple B52's...
