Eh, okay. However, getting drunk doesn’t cause fever. Maybe he got dehydrated and then drank bad water.
My ladyfriend, who happens to be a Shakespearean PhD, has told me many times that the best guess on his death is food poisoning. It was not long after after his daughter’s wedding. In those days the wedding party would have lasted for up to a couple of weeks. Especially for someone so famous and rich. The theory is some of the left overs went bad. There are letters from guests that mention bad herring. Of course some heavy drinking would make matters worse.
