I'm having a tough time deciding. Ultimately, the guy who died, it was his choice to drink in the first place. He put himself in that situation. But if his 8 friends ganged up on him while he was drunk, they are at fault for pressuring him while he was impaired.

I dunno.
OK, then looking at the event in a purely objective fashion, it was the man's PARENTS who are to blame. They raised him to think he could walk on water, that anything he wanted would be instantly provided, and that he was the center of the universe. He was probably the result of selective birth control, i.e., aborting female fetuses until they got a male, he was probably spoiled by all the relatives on both sides of the family because there are much fewer grandchildren under Chinese policies nowdays, and if any member of his family told him to stop drinking they might have been insulted or even struck by this "Little Emperor", as the Chinese are woefully calling the male children who turn on them. They did not teach him responsibility for his behavior, he paid the price, and now the PARENTS are looking for somebody to blame. Do not weep for those 8 men who lost the stageplay that is called a lawsuit in that country (didn't you see the Richard Gere movie about the legal process in China?). None of those boys will pay anything, THEIR PARENTS, who worship them, will pony up for the disasters caused by THEIR Little Emperors.
