21-Year-Old Man Dies After Winning Tequila-Drinking Contest

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic -- One person is dead and three are gravely ill after a tequila-drinking competition in Santo Domingo.

The winner of the contest died. Ricardo Ivan Garcia drank more than 50 shots of tequila Sunday night at Santo Domingo's Blanc, Dance and Lounge discotheque to win the prize of $330 -- 10,000 pesos -- at a Mexican night celebration.

A prosecutor said the man died of apparent heart failure brought on by alcohol poisoning. Three other contestants remain in serious condition in a hospital

eek


music "...Ode to Jose the curse of Cuervo,
So hard to say no though it gives one the fever,
Pretends to be friendly,
Then it's all over, over,
It's all over, over,
Pretends to be fine,
Then the curse of Tequila,

It makes me happy,
Con Tequila it feels fine,
Con Tequila when the doors are opened,
And con Tequila when they're calling time,
That's the curse of,

Sierra sunrise and Margarita,
They'll break your heart in the desert heat,
Tell you you're thirsty,
They'll tell you you're sober, sober,
It's all over, over,
They'll tell you you're fine,
Then the curse of Tequila....

If there's a lot on your mind it's there to help you forget,
To relax and rewind and leave behind the regret,
First sip makes you well before you know it it's time,
And you're saying to hell with the salt, lemon and lime,
Salt, lemon and lime, time Tequila,


That's the curse of Tequila....." music

for a measly $330 at that. I saw on Dr. Phil where this one boy died from drinking too much water. It was a part of a weird hazing ritual, where I guess the boys thought it would be safer to use water instead of beer. The healthiest thing possible killed him.omfg Too much water does thin your blood, but it seems like he would've thrown it up before it reached that point. I can't get past three glasses without feeling sick.

I guess if you drink a lot of water everyday....you know waaay more than the suggested amount, then you should take salt tablets to balance your salt level.
