Byung Soo Kim, an engineering student, was found blue and unconscious in his bedroom. According to police, he had a blood-alcohol level of 0.39 percent, nearly four times the legal limit for driving.

The night before, Kim was partying with 11 friends in his apartment building. He was celebrating his birthday by trying to drink a shot for every year of his life. He passed out after the 20th drink.

"If he was 20, there would be a lot more to investigate," said Sgt. Michael Logghe. "Since he's 21 and allegedly made the purchase legally himself, there's no crime in what occurred."
