If someone dares you to drink a Jim Jones elixir they cooked up in a high school chemistry lab and you get sick, is it their fault? Sure it is.
ODESSA -- A West Texas student who mixed a chemical cocktail that landed a teenager in the hospital will face a felony charge if the student who drank it chooses to press charges, authorities said today.

"The person who mixed it knew it was bad," Jackson said in a story in Tuesday's online edition of the Odessa American. "When you do something, and it causes serious bodily injury or death, that makes it aggravated."

The student, a 17-year-old recent transfer to Odessa High from Andrews, spent several days in the hospital after being found in a school hallway bleeding from the nose and mouth.
So where was the illegal act? The mixing of the chemicals, or the dare? Was it a normal dare, or the dreaded double dog dare?

It's not like they were forced to drink it. What a dumbass. Both of them.
