Authorities told the Miami Herald many of the underage attendees were taken to the hospital for “severe intoxication.” The individuals were participating in “tailgating, partying, and excessive alcohol consumption.”
The patients at the hospital were mostly teenagers, including one 19-year-old male with a blood-alcohol content level of nearly 0.5, which is eight times the legal limit for driving.
