( 2003-09-15 17:20) (China Daily)
A farmer in Guizhou died on
Sunday after drinking three kilograms of a distilled spirit in a bet with
friends, reports Guizhou Metro News.
Zhang, 40, was a habitual drinker who imbibed at least one kilogram of strong
liquor almost every day.
Last Sunday on his way back from the town market, several villagers
challenged Zhang by saying he could drink no more than one kilogram of hard
liquor at a time. But Zhang boasted that he could easily drink three times that
amount.
He had just swallowed the three kilograms he had bought from the market, when
he collapsed and fell into a coma. Although the villagers immediately rushed him
to hospital, Zhang stopped breathing on the way and died.
