The incident you’re referring to likely relates to reports from Vasto Marina, Italy, where ten adolescents, aged 13 to 16, were hospitalized in ethyl comas following excessive alcohol consumption during a beach party on August 10, 2025, during the Notte Rosa festival. According to posts on X and Italian news sources like La Stampa and Chieti Today, the minors were stabilized after medical intervention, with the local ASL (health authority) confirming their recovery. The event has sparked discussions about underage drinking and event supervision, with some posts on X, such as those from @Radio1Rai and @AnsaAbruzzo, highlighting the severity of the incident and the need for better oversight at public festivities.
This case underscores the dangers of binge drinking among minors, as ethyl comas (severe alcohol poisoning) can lead to life-threatening conditions like respiratory depression or brain damage. Italian authorities may investigate whether alcohol was improperly served to minors at the event. No direct connection to U.S. events or specific beach parties in August 2025, like those in Virginia Beach or Sauble Beach, was found in the provided context, suggesting this is a distinct incident.
