  • zombird, on 06/27/2008, -16/+148I thought only marijuana killed people.
  • RedneckRandy, on 06/27/2008, -4/+122i once drank 23 shots in a month. it was crazy
  • Barackalypse, on 06/27/2008, -1/+107That's one way to avoid the bar tab.
  • dvsbastard, on 06/27/2008, -3/+104What an absolut moron...
  • WiseWeasel, on 06/26/2008, -13/+103Darwin Award! The article didn't mention, but hopefully he did this before being able to reproduce.
  • inactive, on 06/27/2008, -9/+92Ohh, well...

    In important news the Phoenix lander said the soil on mars is hospitable for life.

    "The friendly dirt has salts and nutrients magnesium, sodium, potassium and chloride. And pH of 8. You could grow asparagus, say scientists"

  • WiseWeasel, on 06/26/2008, -0/+72Sure it can, you just have to jump up and down on its chest a few times...
  • sockpuppets, on 06/27/2008, -1/+70Randy Gone Wild.
  • monsieurginger, on 06/26/2008, -7/+73He had it coming.
  • schmitey, on 06/27/2008, -2/+62Well...good news is he didn't drive home.
  • nomadxx7, on 06/27/2008, -0/+59Yeah and most of the time it's about people who died doing them
  • inactive, on 06/26/2008, -3/+60A dead body can't breathe into a breathalyzer.
  • saisumimen, on 06/27/2008, -3/+53In other news, man takes 23 hits off a bong, passes out... then wakes up hungry.
  • inactive, on 06/26/2008, -2/+47That guy must had a suicide pact, some death wish or just plain stupid. I bet the bartender will get a ticket or something.
  • kh99, on 06/27/2008, -1/+40The worst part is he owed for 6 lap dances he got after he was dead.
  • ShellShock11, on 06/27/2008, -2/+41God...I always stop after 22...
  • lotar732, on 06/27/2008, -5/+41The bartender should be fired for serving the man that much alcohol. It's called a CUTOFF, idiot.
  • veotho, on 06/27/2008, -0/+35And he saved a bunch of money on his car insurance.
  • choopie911, on 06/27/2008, -5/+36What a lightweight.
  • inactive, on 06/26/2008, -7/+37He was already brain-dead
  • DiggzDE, on 06/27/2008, -0/+25Maybe he just didn't want to pay the tab.
  • IG64, on 06/27/2008, -1/+26How did he get the last ones to his mouth?
  • warholsbluecat, on 06/27/2008, -3/+26FRANK THE TANK
  • Yage2006, on 06/27/2008, -6/+29This is only 1 of thousands of deaths that happen each year because of alcohol poisoning.
    Nothing new or shocking about this. Its funny though that pot and other substances far safer then alcohol remain illegal.
  • Vector713, on 06/27/2008, -5/+28I see what you did there!
  • WiseWeasel, on 06/27/2008, -3/+24I, for one, welcome our new mutant asparagus overlords.
  • Surferess, on 06/26/2008, -9/+30I wonder why it will take 6 weeks to get the BAC. I thought they could get that at a traffic stop.
  • alapoet, on 06/26/2008, -10/+29That's just sad, on many levels.
  • nemojonze, on 06/27/2008, -5/+24florida.
  • bigd063, on 06/27/2008, -3/+22He was trying to make it to 26. Ever heard of birthday shots?
  • minorgods, on 06/27/2008, -0/+17yea, mutant asparagus that likes harsh climate, no ozone layer, and ammonia(?) :)
  • Pledio, on 06/27/2008, -2/+18Funny how the picture on the website of him is a mugshot.
  • ixid, on 06/27/2008, -2/+18The girls love a stiff punter.

    I guess the last one was a stiff drink.

    Etc.
  • GoatMonkey2112, on 06/27/2008, -2/+18Only if it's just "mostly dead".
  • saxreturns, on 06/27/2008, -1/+17Yeah, but you'll only ever do it once.
  • catbeller, on 06/27/2008, -0/+15It is the bartender's duty to not serve someone to death. After ten shots or so, the man was not in his right mind. At some point, you stop selling him his own death, or you're committing murder. Look at it like this: if this was a college party, would you keep pouring 20+ vodka shots for a girl who was obviously going to die of alcohol poisoning? No you would not. I hope you would not. And a bartender has a professional duty, while administering what is essentially poison, to cut someone off before they die on the floor. And the onlookers might have said something as well. Personal responsibility is not the inverse of the number of people looking.
  • EllimistX, on 06/27/2008, -1/+16I can just imagine the ***** up names the dealers would give it...

    "Hey man, what'll it be? I've got Marvin, Red Kryptonite, and three-breasted hooker..."
  • Enasni1212, on 06/27/2008, -0/+13Over the course of a day, maybe.... but in forty-five minutes? What bartender would not notice something a little odd about that?
  • walshgopher, on 06/27/2008, -3/+15The bartender works in an atmosphere full of titties. They should hire gay bartenders if they want them to pay attention.
  • HuskyPuzzle, on 06/26/2008, -9/+21Jesus, must have been a rough day at the office.
  • floridiot2, on 06/27/2008, -2/+14Would it be illegal to grow marijuana on mars?
  • fr3ddie, on 06/27/2008, -0/+12"The medical examiner's office says the cause of death is pending..." 23 shots maybe?
  • sockpuppets, on 06/27/2008, -1/+13Your e-penis is huge.
  • mrogi, on 06/27/2008, -12/+22Alcohol is God's way of recalling defective models back to the Heavenly factory.
  • life38, on 06/27/2008, -3/+14He probably pass out and no one notice until closing. You would think when he stopped tipping that they would have thrown him out.
  • fletchsd, on 06/27/2008, -1/+12It was actually 23 shots in 30 minutes. Maybe he thought he was trying for the century club and didn't realize you do 100 shots of beer and not hard alcohol.
  • lisaawesome, on 06/27/2008, -0/+10I don't know for sure but on a medical examiner show once they did the BAC on a dead body and then the examiner said that if it's this number now it must've been higher at the time of death implying it was continuing to break down post mortem.
  • calcio0fan, on 06/27/2008, -1/+11Darwin Award winner here
  • akkibaba, on 06/27/2008, -3/+13It's pretty much physically impossible to smoke 23 joints in a half hour, though. I'd imagine you'd pass out from hypoxia long before that. You'd wake up with a nasty headache but no permanent damage.
