Stupid ass club ownership should be put in prison for involuntary manslaughter.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic -- One person is dead and three are gravely ill after a tequila-drinking compe ion 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.

Damn...I dunno about 50 shots though...how the did he keep count? Cause I know after ten...I lose count.
One tequila...
Two tequila...
Three tequila...
FLOOR!
Who gets knocked out after three shots?
hmmmm...looks like the start of another classic "Duff drunk driving" thread....
i think i could seriously handle 6 tequila shots and then gimme some ice water.....that's more than enough for the night.
I believe the dude that drank over 50 shots should be eligible for the Darwin award this year.
My point is, is after about 10 shots, you are not able to use judgement and therefore are not responsible for any further actions. The club is responsible.
C'mon guys, nobody else here did a tequila shot contest in Matamoros over Spring Break? Oh, OK.
They use a fluted shot glass in these contests that holds 3/4's of an ounce. So, this guy drank 37.5 ounces of tequila, a little more than an entire liter (34 ounces).
If you're stupid enough to enter a Tequila drinking contest, I can't feel much pity for you having exited the gene pool.
Seriusly though, 50 shots? Dude had a Alcohol Blood level at that point, not a Blood Alcohol level. There may have been .08 blood in that alcohol going through his veins.
I suppose you think the gun manufacters are responsible because they made the gun and someone killed someone with it to
people need to be responisbible for THEIR OWN ACTIONS and not TRY TO BLAME OTHERS
it's a stupid contest....they should make it who can drink, i don't know...10 shots the fastest and run a lap.....i remember the same thing happened in like, russia or something last year, when a guy drank a whole bottle of vodka, he won, but he passed out and probobaly still doesn't know he's dead...oh well, hopefully others read this and realize their limits before entering such a contest in the future....
Hey, atleast he won!!
Well, if you had 10 shots and then someone put a gun to your head and put your finger on the trigger, that person would be doing the same thing as if he poured another 40 shots of liquor for you.
The bar is liable.

Calculates an individual's blood alcohol content based on the quan y of beverages consumed, the alcohol percentage in each drink, the person's weight, and the time spent consuming the drink.
FLUID OUNCES CONSUMED: 37.5
YOUR WEIGHT (Lbs): 180
ALCOHOL PERCENTAGE IN BEVERAGE: 38%
HOURS CONSUMING DRINK: 2
BAC Percentage: 0.56375 %
BAC Analysis: In MOST*and possibly ALL states you would be considered intoxicated and arrested for DUI.
blame the bar after all it is legal in to sell the drinks
they got the license from the city or state they were in to sell the drinks
blame the bar for trying to make a living and obeying the law
it is the 21 year old guy he died not the bar's
if the bar would not give him the drinks they would have gotten them and drank them at their house.
a 21 year old is old enough to make respoinsible decisions

I think that still come in below the legal limit in Wisconsin.http://convertalot.com/bac.html

tlong hit it right on the head.
God bless you, Charles Darwin!
When will you be coming for LakerGod?
This is not the same as a gun manufactuer Ducks. I for one hate lawsuits that shift the blame, but I definetly hve to admit the bar would be very liable here. You're not talking about giving him one or 2 extra shots and not reconizing that he was too drunk to drive his own vehicle, you are talking about administering an insane amount of alcohol to a person that is obviously in no condition to consume anymore.
Alcohol poisining would have occoured at a much lower amount of alcohol. In reality, even hosting a tequila drinking contest of that nature is asking for a lawsuit. But administering 20 shots would have been far too many, and they went more than double that.
This is not only neglegiance, this is extreme ridiculous negligence.
i guess that is why we have TABC here in Texas..
I don't put it on the bar.
The guy entered a TEQUILA DRINKING CONTEST. If the bartender held a gun to his head and forced him to enter the contest, then it's on the bar. But if you enter a contest where you know you have to consume as much alcohol as you physically can, then YOU are responsible.
It's not the same as being in a bar and being drunk off your ass and still being served.
That's why they call it "takillya".
