It was the bet to end all bets, and ultimately a man's life.
A 23-year-old man died from alcohol poisoning after chugging an entire bottle of tequila in a Dominican nightclub.
Kelvin Rafael Mejía decided to down the lot as part of a friendly wager between friends.
The insane bet was all caught on camera and then posted online.

When I was in college we did shots of grain alcohol and Tang..(powdered orange juice that went to the moon)
Although I did not do drugs, many friends would do these shots between bongs. Dozens of bongs each person at one setting... snow cones. How we survived the 70’s when hits of acid were available everywhere, good pot was $15 to $30 per ounce, Thi Sticks, Black Hash, you name it... My future profession required that I stay away from drugs, so I did. One bust would have ruined my career.
We drank Jim Jones Punch... Trash can punch with grain, wine and fruit juice and lots of whole fruit.
Made my own moonshine for years back in the late 70’s and early 80’s..
My worst hangover was when we plugged a watermelon with an upside down bottle of vodka for three days. When we cut it, the juice ran out into my quart jar and I drank the entire thing. It put a hurting on me. I was in high school at the time.
I survived high school and college and now drink very, very moderately...
Okay, I could have sworn surviving offspring disqualified them from a Darwin.
But Darwinawards.com does say offspring doesn’t disqualify them.
I wonder if they changed the rules.
“I was covered in my own vomit.”
Someone was looking out for you....
“Expensive top shelf will kill you too”
Chugging enough water at once will too. Messes up the body’s electrolytes.
I drank a shot of ghost-pepper sauce on a bet. It was easy money, but I’d never do a whole bottle of it.
Well, ripping off a Reagan quote, if you don’t laugh you wont be able to stand life for 10 minutes.
If someone offered me $630 million I might consider sitting through a 5 minute Hillary speech.
You’re easily bought off.
The stupidest, most dangerous thing I witnessed while in college was people cutting Rorer 714 quaaludes, the real thing, into quarters, putting them into the bowl of a bong with a little sinsemilla and smoking it. They got hit with full force disco biscuit in the time it took to inhale and exhale, many fell out of their chairs.
Actually tequila “neat” is my favorite sipping drink. It’s amazingly delicious in tiny sips. The flavors are more intriguing than fine scotch with the right brand. I recommend Clase Azul, either platinum or reposado for a very full flavor.
We did living history reenactments. One night near the campfire a girl was found writhing on the ground in such convulsions that it took six of us to throw her in the back of a pickup and rush her to the ER. They pumped her stomach and that alone saved her life.
She had slammed most of a 750ml bottle of Bacardi 151 proof.
“College days, full of happiness and full of youth...”
The only really ultra premium tequila I’ve ever tried was Casa Dragones Joven. Enjoyed it, very nice, clearly intended for sipping, but at something close to $300.00 for a bottle I won’t be buying one any time soon, lol.
“Here! Hold muh beer...so I can drink this ENTIRE bottle of Tequila!”
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Well I guess he won’t need to be embalmed; I’d hold off on that cremation thing though.
They use the word “man” rather loosely in this headline
Wow! That sounds awesome! Well, my birthday is coming up - lol!
He died doing what he loved.
I got a kick out of the name. House of Dragons.
On a positive note almost half his cremation is paid for now.
Tragedy? More like brain-numb stupidity.
