Drinking games are not always fun. 23-year-old Humberto Moura Fonseca had been partying at the university of Julio de Mesquita in the city of Bauru, in southwest Brazil, when organisers suggested the drinking game to see who could drink 25 shots in less than 60 seconds. The vodka enthusiast took up the challenge only to collapse by the end of it.
According to Metro.co.uk, medical crews rushed Fonesca and several other students to hospital but he died on the way, with doctors later confirming they had suffered alcohol poisoning. Three other people were still in intensive care reportedly.
A spokesman for the university said: ‘We very much regret the death of this young man and our condolences go out to his family and friends.’
While the organisers of the drinking game will likely be charged with homicide, drinking games are best done in moderation.
