I think i found a winner!
The Winner Gets... a Post Mortem
1999 Darwin Award Nominee
Confirmed True by Darwin
(August 1999, Australia) Drinking oneself to death need not be a long lingering process. Allan, a 33-year-old computer technician, showed his competitive spirit by dying of competitive spirits. A Sydney, Australia hotel bar held a drinking competition, known as Feral Friday, with a 100-minute time limit and a sliding point scale ranging from 1 point for beer to 8 points for hard liquor.
Allan stood and cheered his winning total of 236, (winners never quit!) which had also netted him the literally staggering blood alcohol level of .353 grams of alcohol per 100 ml of blood, 7 times greater than Australia's legal driving limit of 0.05%.
After several trips to the usual temple of overindulgence, the bathroom, Allan was helped back to his workplace to sleep it off, a condition that became permanent.
A forensic pharmacologist estimated that after downing 34 beers, 4 bourbons, and 17 shots of tequila within 1 hour and 40 minutes, his blood alcohol level would have been 0.41 to 0.43%, but Allan had vomited several times after the drinking stopped. The cost paid by Allan was much higher than that of the hotel, which was fined the equivalent of $13,100 US dollars for not intervening.
It is not known whether Allan required any further embalming.

We used to do something along those lines during our earlier trips to LM....when we were younger ! Snakebite was the normal drink, which we mixed up in a large garden sprayer ( the ones you carry around on your back) I recall that the optimum mix was 8 cans of Fosters (which had to have the gold top) and 2 bottles of Strongbow. The idea then was to pump the spray machine up as much as it would go and then basically place the spray nozzle in your mouth...and the rest was usually history.
The record suck ! was 63 seconds.
Oh happy days, I reckon 6.3 seconds would be a struggle now.

Well it only goes to prove what I've been saying for years. Australians cannot hold their drink, they just like to think they can! ;D :D
