A man who was served an incredulous 56 shots of alcohol – leading to alcohol poisoning and death – was allegedly never cut off by the bartender, who now faces murder charges in the patron’s death. The Frenchman in his 50s was at a bar in Paris and was taking part in a drinking competition.
Writes AFP News via Yahoo: “French police opened an investigation on Wednesday following the death of a man in his 50s after he downed 56 shots during a drinking competition. The man, who was not named, was attempting to beat the previous record of 55 shots in a bar in Clermont-Ferrand in central France on Friday.”
According to police, the man sucked down 30 shots of liquor in under 60 seconds. “He swallowed around 30 glasses in the space of a minute,” the police source said. The man was taken home, but his daughter, 21, said she had to call paramedics after he began convulsing. He died the next day after falling into a coma and suffering a heart attack.
