erynthered Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Tequila contest turns deadly March 08 2005 at 09:20AM Santo Domingo - The 21-year-old winner of a competition to drink the most tequila died on Monday and three other contestants were gravely ill in the hospital, officials said. Ricardo Ivan Garcia drank more than 50 shots of tequila on Sunday night at Santo Domingo's Blanc, Dance and Lounge discotheque to win the prize of 10 000 pesos (about R2 000) at a Mexican night celebration. But he had taken ill, and rushed to hospital where he died within hours, apparently from heart failure brought on by alcohol poisoning, said public prosecutor Jose Hernandez Peguero. Three other contestants remained in serious condition in the hospital, family members said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammered a Lot Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Tequilla should be sipped after allowing to sit for 5 minutes, not chugged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that's right, 51 shots. 267641[/snapback] Well, maybe at this years tailgate we can try to beat the record !!! I think some people came up just short last year, but with 10,000 pesos on the line, we may have some more competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they don't actually make sure these people are really drinking alcohol. 267669[/snapback] With as much tequila as there would be in that bar, do you think they'd be able to tell the difference? Plus, the bartender is probably as smashed as the judges and contestants. Didnt something eerily similar happen in Russia? replace tequila with vodka, and pesos with rubles, and you've got your story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
