Plagueis got drunk to celebrate. Palpatine either choked him or electrocuted his arse. I think he force choked him slowly.

I just really don't understand why Force Choking is really a thing with the Sith at large. Yes, for Vader it should be and is a trademark, but it doesn't seem like the most effective thing one can use the Force to execute someone. Kylo Ren had complete control over people's bodies, so why not rip them apart from the inside. I just got the impression that a Force Choke was merely a sick pleasure that Vader did to entertain himself and terrorize his own troops. If you're going to murder the Dark Lord of the Sith, I'd imagine that's one of the last Force moves you'd use since they can still fight you.
