A Chinese content creator died last week after livestreaming himself consuming an excessive amount of exceptionally strong alcohol.
The 34-year-old influencer, who goes by “Sanqiange,” was found dead 12 hours after the May 16 livestream on Douyin, China’s version of TikTok, according to CNN.
During the stream, he reportedly drank at least seven bottles of Baijiu, a Chinese liquor with an alcohol content of 30% to 60%.
Sanqiange was allegedly involved in an online challenge, called a “PK,” against another creator on the platform.
In a “PK” challenge, two influencers typically compete for gifts or rewards from their audience.
The loser faces punishment.
In this case, it appears Baijiu was a consequence of losing three rounds, BBC reports.
“I don’t know how much he had consumed before I tuned in. But in the latter part of the video, I saw him finish three bottles before starting on a fourth,” a friend of the influencer told local outlet Shangyou News, which reported a funeral was held last week.
“When his family found him, he was already gone, he didn’t even get a chance for emergency treatment,” the friend added.
The influencer’s last name was revealed as Wang by local media, and the friend described him as “decent and straightforward.”
The footage went viral across the country’s social media, but is no longer able to be viewed online.

Wait, I thought John-John was the one who couldn’t quite fly.
For me, this is the most tragic part: not even his family watched his lame ass livestreams.
But at least he died doing what he loved.

Seems that the ‘winner’ didn’t do so well either.
Influencer = Internet nobody none of us have heard of.
Sounds like he finally did something worthwhile.
His purpose in life appears to have been to serve as an admonition for others against stupid behavior.
Probably one of the best anti-bing
Inge drinking ads ever!
Dosage makes the poison.
You can die drinking too much water.
Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide!
On a serious note, how weak is this generation - it's like they are owned by social media.
But Bobby couldn’t fly, Bobby died!
That is some nasty tasting stuff. My travels to China always saw a bottle at the table during dinner. They always wanted to trade shots afterwards. I played along w their drinking games but I used their beer instead.
Is that like Soju?
34-year-old influencer
Brain dead years before that the price of cool huh Moe.
Every time an influencer dies, and angel gets its wings.
> And he was not feeling strong.
Did he sing his victory song?

I don’t believe I have ever tried it much less, ever heard of it.
As I said, nasty, nasty stuff
Yes. But not of a pickled liver.

LOL. Yeah, it’s all gold. He should have gotten an Academy Award for his performance. The only thing that comes close is Tom Cruise as Les Grossman in “Tropic Thunder”. Except that Cruise got a lot less screen time.
