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.

Death was probably a better option than the hangover he would have had for about a week.

What a wuss; My mom won a Tequila shot contest, and lived to tell about it! Specifically, she told us "Don't EVER drink Tequila."

Straight out of the Toten Hosen drinking song "Zehn kleine Jägermeister," the best drinking song ever created:
"Vier kleine Jägermeister bei der Bundeswehr, sie tranken um die Wette, den Besten gibt's nicht mehr."
Loosely: "Four small Jägermeister in the Army, they had a drinking contest (drank on a bet), the best is no more."
To: TXBSAFH
LOL, you beat me to it! I was just going to post that it's not for nothing that my friends and I have referred to it for years as "ToKillYa"!!!! We've had some bad memories with that stuff! (Cuervo, to be exact!)
