This is where he went wrong, you don’t start the drinking competitions already drunk

All food and drinks are “free” as they are part of the package. Includes cocktails

As much as I want to judge the man I don't think I can. I'd wager many in south louisiana, including me, have had more than 12 drinks in a night before multiple times. Just think how many people do that for tailgates around here alone and survive.

on my 21st birthday I had 21 triple Tanqueray and tonics, why? beats the frick out of me but I was still standing when we left the bar

Shot = 1.5oz
Triple = 4.5oz
21 x 4.5oz = 94.5oz

There are roughly 25oz in a fifth.
94.5oz / 25oz = 3.75 fifths of Gin


Did you just claim to drink 3.75 fifths of Gin and walk away?

If she knew better than the nurse then why wasn't she doing it herself???

At some point during the day, Southern met two Canadian women celebrating a birthday.

The women told him they were trying to complete the 21-cocktail challenge before midnight as part of their festivities.

It was not immediately clear how quickly Southern consumed the 12 cocktails.

Shouldn't this be easily figured out. When did he meet them, and when did he go to his room. Simple math should help figure that out.

for all I know they were going easy on the gin after they saw how much we were drinking, all I know is that my friend and I ordered, finished, and paid for 21 triple Tanqueray and tonics, each, this was back in the day of the 2 for, 3 for, 4 for happy hours, don't think that's even legal anymore

Don’t remember the details but back in the late 80’s early 90’s there was a bar in new Orleans that something like this.
21 drinks in one night, not sure if anyone accomplished it or not. Someone here Will remember it.

Yes, let’s blame the nurse rather than the man who pumped himself full of alcohol in a third world country. These people!

The gene pool needs a chlorine tablet every now and then.

Also, even if they hadn’t told us where he’s from, we could all have agreed there was no way this guy was an LSU fan. What a puss.

A significant remaining question: was this a shitty all-inclusive or did ole BritBaw pay extra for his death?

I have to believe, there's no way that a Non-all-inclusive Jamaica resort would comp those 12 drinks even with this deadly outcome.

I'll never understand why people lie like this in message boards. Nobody believes you. Nobody thinks you're some tough guy who can drink a gallon of 151.

What's the point of lying about it anonymously on a message board. It's sad, really.
