How much do you like to drink? Probably
not as much as Humberto Moura Fonseca. The 23 year old died after
drinking 25 shots of vodka. You did not read that wrong. I actually
checked to see how much liquid that was and it is five ounces more
than a Big Gulp or a little bit more than three cans of soda when totaled. While
partying at a university in Bauru, South-Western Brazil someone
thought it would be a good idea to see how many shots they could
drink in a minute. One of his friends said “I knew I'd already had
too much and there was no way I was going to be able to drink five,
let alone 25. But Humberto and the others were really up for it.”
He as well as six other students ended
up collapsing after drinking and were taken to the hospital where
three of them are in intensive care. Police want to charge the
organizers with homicide. “Two fourth year students at the
university have been arrested for organizing the event without a
license and for potentially causing the death of the student.” The
university says that drinking alcohol at the university is banned.
Granted, I have done some dumb stuff when it comes to booze and
surely have caused alcohol poisoning and shaved some years off my
life in the past. I have drank 8 shots in an hour. But never would I
try for 25 in a minute under any circumstance. Why? Because I like
this breathing thing.
