A controversial live stream binge drinking boom in China has attracted millions of fans but has mainstream media seriously alarmed about health impacts .
Although the trend appeared a few years ago, the videos in which bloggers drink excessive bottles of alcohol including beer, liquor, wine and spirits, have only gained momentum since the beginning of last year.
n 2019 a man died after filming himself drinking alcohol and things like cooking oil every day for three months in a bid to make money online.
Many binge drink streamers now have millions of fans.
Some may do binge live streams four to five times a week in a bid to maintain their audience and attract new followers.
One celebrity streamer from Inner Mongolia, a woman named Duoduoqimuge, finished five 620ml bottles of beer in a single sitting.
Some drink as many as 10 500ml bottles of high alcohol content liquor in a single live stream. As a result, some bloggers vomit or lose consciousness in front of the camera.
After last year’s ban on binge eating online, some streamers see binge drinking as a way to fame and fortune PHOTO: Baidu It comes after authorities cracked down on popular binge eating live streaming which showed streamers eat excessive amounts of food in front of millions of fans. In the second half of last year, the practice was banned for being unhealthy and wasteful.
After some people questioned if streamers were really drinking high-strength alcohol, some live streamers began setting drinks on fire as proof. This has led to audiences routinely demanding drinks be set on fire as evidence of alcohol content.
“I don’t trust you if you don’t ignite the liquor,” wrote one viewer quoted in The Beijing Daily, which reported that in some cases people’s clothes had caught fire.patients with high blood pressure, diabetes or high blood cholesterol.”
According to Chinese Dietary Guidelines, a man should drink no more than 25 grams of alcohol a day, while a woman’s intake should not exceed 15 grams.

That’s 21 fl oz. 5 of them gets you 105 oz. That’s about 9 twelve oz cans of beer. I gotta admit back in the old days, I’d get pretty loopy after 9, but wouldn’t pass out. I think the most beer I’ve ever had was 13 cans. Then I would pass out (and would be super hungover the next day.)
Why this would be entertaining escapes me.

Yeah, same here.
They are the ones that do things like the Ghost Pepper Challenge and are also the ones that watch.
When you’re a teen you enjoy watching someone be more foolish than yourself.
You get to be my age and it is just sad.
Our local pub has $1 Rolling Rock beer on Mondays
A lineman I know was trying to get his $20 dollars worth this week in one sitting
He was halfway through in 2 hours and still going when I left. Not sure if he made it, but he’s the kind who won’t quit
His wife is a very understanding gal
Some early 20’s too. Based on some of the comments I’ve heard from just a few of them.
Anything that comes out of China is propaganda.
Propaganda has a purpose.
What would be the purpose of this?
Now if they can get American kids to drink themselves to death, then all is good to CCP.
On the plus side China has enough bodies for liver harvesting for transplants.
