http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tees-11437449 Teesside man dies after downing pint of vodka
A man died after downing a pint of vodka in four seconds, an inquest heard.
Richard Davies, 29, from Thornaby, near Stockton, had been drinking with friends before the alcohol knocked him unconscious in January.
Mr Davies was found not breathing in a pool of his own blood, and died hours later.
Recording a verdict of misadventure, Teesside coroner Tony Eastwood said the alcohol in his system had killed him.
The hearing on Tuesday at Teesside Coroner's Court was told how the electrician's mate was five-and-a-half times the legal drink-drive limit and his body contained traces of the then-legal high mephedrone, which has since been banned.
However, Mr Eastwood said the alcohol in his system had killed him and that the mephedrone was not a contributing factor. 'Pushed me away'
Mr Davies' best friend Christopher Crooks told the inquest how he tried to save his life after he was found unconscious in the early hours of 16 January.
In a statement read out by deputy Teesside coroner Tony Eastwood, he said: "Richard drank a pint of vodka in four seconds or so.
"I did try to take the glass off him, but he turned his back on me, pushed me away, and drank it all."
Paramedics were later called, but by the time they arrived Mr Davies was dead.
Pathologist Jan Lowe said Mr Davies had an alcohol level enough to have caused acute alcohol poisoning.

You can't drink that much alcohol immediately, you will die. Unless of course you have a ridiculous tolerance, but even then that's a lot of booze.

Perhaps he was drinking before that and was already wasted and the 1 pint of vodka sent him over.
I would think of the UK pathologist would of jumped at the chance to say Mephedrone contributed so if he says it didn't, it didn't, IMO.
There are so many times where I've drank crazy amounts of alcohol and several times I have no idea how I didn't die, especially with my low tolerance. 2 shots is enough to get me tipsy and I could do up to 13 shots before I had to pass out.

Spacing them out over the course of several hours makes a big difference. I've drank an entire 5th of vodka in a night several times, but it was over the course of a night. Drinking that much down straight is a lot of booze to take in at once.

A fifth is a mickey right? 375mL? I've chugged that much before - it's a fair deal, but it's not THAT much. A 26 I've done in an hour several times - now THAT fucked me up pretty good, still not at the point of dying though.

A friend and I chugged about a fifth each over the course of an hour or so...my friend begged another friend to take us to the hospital but he was fucking hammered too...although to us he seemed completely sober, seeing as how he actually had the ability to stand upright.
My mom stopped by the next morning to find me bleeding from a gash on my head from hitting the concrete floor...or my woodstove...or a wall...or a--yeah you get the picture. Anyway, ended up having acute alcohol poisoning for almost 3 days...I am pretty sure I came close to dying. I couldn't keep a sip of water down for 2 of those days.
I'm lucky my mom came by that day, or who knows where my stupid decision would have left me. Gotta have respect for the drug, even one not normally considered a drug.

Hahaha... hilarious that they bothered to even mention Mephedrone.
Why would ANYONE drink a pint of vodka?... I can't imagine that could be anything but an unpleasant experience even if you were ok afterwards.

Alright while mephedrone definitely didn't kill him I bet it influenced his decision to drink so much along with him probably being an alcoholic. It's like doing a speedball, people feel really stimulated and confident in their bad choices so they do more H and end up in ambuland. Darwin award?

Wow those last two clips were ridiculously dumb attempts.
Atleast the Russian kid got it down though, Joe Brezzy wasn't even close, at all.
