9 die in beer flood

[FEARDIZ]

On Oct. 17, 1814, a ruptured tank at the Meux and Company Brewery unleashed over 3,500 barrels of beer onto the streets of London, creating a wave of beer that knocked down walls, flooded basements, and demolished houses. Eight people drowned. The ninth died of alcohol poisoning after attempting to stop the flood by drinking the beer.

1994 Oktoberfest, Munich, there was a guy who drank himself to death at our fest table. So yes it is possible, its just that most people would die from puking by then.

That has to qualify a person as some kind of athlete.

ROFL...
although admittedly, he wasnt a spring chicken, he was an older german fella, and the beer might have just helped him along.
The guys that took him away are the ones that said alcohol poisoning.
