A 'beer drinking king' has died in Spain moments after lifting the trophy of a tournament where participants vie to swill the most pints of lager in 20 minutes.

That's some quality writing:

Municipality vice president Pedro Rodríguez added: 'He vomited a lot but I sat with him for ten minutes, and he was sleeping and snoring away.' However, he was not sleeping but suffering from a massive heart attack.

'He started to vomit in his chair. I was one of the people who held him upright,' he said.

That's some quality friendship right there.

Forensics later discovered the man had choked on somebody else's vomit, but they don't know whose vomit it was... there's no way to tell, you can't really dust for vomit.

Quantity v.s. quality I assume.

I mean, I deplore the health nannies as much as the next Bar Toweller but, seriously, a contest in which you drink as much as you possibly can in 20 minutes? Really?

What's wrong with 12 pints of beer in 20 minutes? You sound like one o' them "Social Responsibility" types!

I say we let them at it. It's like sky diving, or eating puffer fish.... so few people must die from it.
