French bar owner on trial for letting customer take 56 shots

A French bar owner is on trial for allowing a patron to take 56 shots in one night. According to the Local, last October a 57-year-old man named Renaud knocked back 56 shots at a bar called Le Starter. He managed to set a new record at the bar — the previous one was 55 shots — but he unfortunately passed away later that night.
quote:
During the evening, Renaud drank 30 shots made with hard alcohol in just one minute. He had to be carried home by his daughter and her friends and later went into cardiac arrest.
quote:
The trial comes just months after the French government proposed a new law to curb binge drinking. If it passes, those who incite binge drinking can be punished with up to $19,000 in fines and a year in jail.

How many shots does a fifth hold?

I don't know how to feel about this. On one hand it's obviously extremely reckless to allow this to happen. On the other the guy freely chose to drink and was going for a record, so obviously he was an exception. Tough situation all around.

Did he do this every year on his birthday?

Depends on the shot glass. I've heard anywhere from 12-16 shots.

30 shots in a minute? Damn

I think the new anti-binge drinking law plays a role in this.

The correct answer is 25 and 3/5 shots.
A shot is 1 fl. oz.

LOL at anyone telling someone they are wrong , some bars pour one ounce shots and some bars pour more

quote:Regardless of how some random bartender pours, 1.5 oz is the standard shot of alcohol (40% alcohol) because it is equivalent to a 12 ounce beer (5% alcohol) and 5 ounce glass of wine (12% alcohol).
