A Spanish man died Friday shortly after winning a beer-drinking competition, local media reported.
Joaquin Alcaraz Gracia started vomiting not long after he won the competition in Murcia's Gea y Truyois district, media reported.
To win, contestants had to drink as many litre-glasses of beer as they could in 20 minutes.
According to media reports, Gracia drank six litres.
"Then he just started to vomit without stopping and never spoke again," Antonio Alcaraz told the Spanish newspaper Hoy.
Gracia, 45, was described by emergency officials as "obese."
The municipality's vice-president, Pedro Rodriguez, told Hoy that Gracia vomited a lot, but then was sleeping and snoring.
However, Gracia wasn't sleeping, he suffered a heart attack and died in hospital a short time later.
The mayor defended the competition to Hoy as a long tradition, adding that the precise cause of Gracia's death hadn't been determined.
Boerhaave’s isn’t a bad thought but typically it doesn’t kill you right away. You get a hole in your esophagus which is often fatal but not instantly.
That’s horrible.
What an idiot...a drinking contest. I though just dumb teenagers did that.
6 liters?
Is that ALL??
Lightweight.
I guess that really fat guys shouldn’t drink until they slosh.
Surprised no one has said this yet:
He died doing what he loved to do.
“I can eat 50 eggs.”
I think the point is that you can get a heart attack at any time.

It can’t be a bad idea because we have been doing it for ever. If I want to hear that logic, I can just go to work.
I’ll bet he won’t try that again.
Could they tell what he had for dinner?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I think it was beer.
“adding that the precise cause of Gracia’s death hadn’t been determined.”
Of course, not until they know what brand of beer he comsumed.
He died doing what he loved to do.
Showing off.
As Hank Hill said, “Don’t go blaming the beer.”
Puking.

Six liters?
Down here in Texas we call that lunch.
