True, but people do wander off. You can leave a bar with a large group, get to the next bar and realise someone has gone AWOL... you just assume (and it's usually the case) that they've just seen someone they know and gone off to talk to them, or they've deliberately slipped away without saying anything to go home because they were done and telling people that you're going generally prompts people to start trying to convince you to stay out. It's easier to just go.

I'm not saying that it isn't sad that no one noticed or that there isn't a good argument for sending the message, to young people especially, that they should look out for each other whilst out drinking... just that I understand how it happened, and I do feel bad for her friends who will inevitably be blaming themselves already when it was just a tragic accident.
