Samurai_Jerk wrote:Frenchman dies after downing 56 shotsFrench police opened an investigation on Wednesday following the death of a man in his 50s after he downed 56 shots during a drinking competition.
The man, who was not named, was attempting to beat the previous record of 55 shots in a bar in Clermont-Ferrand in central France on Friday.
"He swallowed around 30 glasses in the space of a minute," a police source told AFP.
The man was driven home in a drunken stupor and emergency services took him in later that night.
How did the previous dude survive that kind of alcohol poisoning? (or is he dead too?)
