Jesus Christ, he was too young to go like that. RIP.
R.I.P to the poor young lad ❤️ God bless his family.
At least his colleagues had some sense and tried to get him to stop.
There’s something about vodka that makes it tolerable to chug like that, very dangerous obviously.
RIP.
What’s the employer’s or organiser’s responsibility in situations like this? The general legal/HR rule is that the business is responsible for what happens at organised events.

“…alongside a blood-alcohol level of 458mg per cent” What? Who wrote this?
Unbelievably sad. When I was 20 I used to drink vodka red bull all night too, lethal stuff and a horrible mix thinking back. RIP

The gratuitous drinking at Christmas time is tough. Often, people are placed under undue pressure by work colleagues or friends to socialise/drink way more than they usually would. Not saying that’s the case here, but personally I really dislike this element of Christmas that has crept in the past decade or two.
Poor baby 💔
News headlines when alcohol is a factor in death: Man (21) died after cardiac arrest following night out in Dublin, inquest hears
News headlines when someone dies who consumed cannabis: Woman fell to her death after eating cannabis jelly, inquest hears
A reminder that if you think your mate will be pissed off with you getting an ambulance if they are this drunk and may need their stomach pumped etc, do it anyway.
A friend of mine growing up was about this age, his brother was maybe 17. Their parents went away for a few days on a holiday, the first time they had been able to do so since the two were toddlers. My friend went to bed with his girlfriend after a few drinks one night, his brother was out drinking in a friend’s house somewhere and stumbled home. He made a tonne of noise getting to bed and woke them. My friend went in the next morning to wake him up and give him a bollocking since the gf had work early which she had since left for.
He found his brother’s 17 year old corpse, laid out across the bed, having drowned in his own vomit. My friend spent hours in complete grief in the house alone, and eventually had to be the one to call his parents and break the news. He never got over it.
Have fun with drink, but if you’re young reading this – do be careful with it.
Lads, if I didnt get sober Id be dead by now. Poor young man, manys the night I thought my own heart would give out.
Poor lad.
Hope it helps other young people hearing of the case to stay safer.
Sad sad story. I’d love to see mixing coke and alcohol be treated more seriously , it’s fuckin rampant and lethal , not only physically. How to untether the culture from it is the question
So most people probably know that coke damages your heart, ie it’s cardio toxic. Probably one of the most cardiotoxic drugs
Now, mix it with alcohol, and it’ll create cocaethylene, which is something like 10x-18x *more* cardiotoxic than cocaine alone.
Be careful with coke (there are way more fun drugs anyhow), but honestly just don’t fucking mix it with drink
As we comment on this please be mindful that there is a family behind this newspaper article, a family who very much miss their brother/son.
>Postmortem toxicology results found evidence of cocaine use, alongside a blood-alcohol level of 458mg per cent, described by coroner Dr Clare Keane as “extremely high” and “really close to the lethal range”.
>The brain injury, in the context of mixed alcohol and cocaine toxicity, was ultimately the cause of his death.
His friends did try to stop him, but he wasn’t having it.
Super sad. Happened to a fella when I was in uni too.
A little first aid advice or even a personal habit if anyone wants it: what kills people in this type of situation is vomiting in their sleep. If you’re worried about a friend try get them to sleep on their side, then if they get sick in their sleep it’ll drain out of the airway.
