53? Oy! I did all my stupid drinking by 23.

Maybe had he not drunk 21 cocktails, maybe he would still be here.He only made it through 12, but had a head start all morning. What a way to go....

A pathologist in Kingston, Jamaica, gave the cause of death as 'acute gastroenteritis due to alcohol consumption'.
I would give the cause of death as STUPIDITY! Prayers to his family.

'She only gave him chest compressions. Maybe if she had known what she was doing, maybe he would still be here. The service and treatment he received was disgusting.' Maybe if he wasn't stupid at the age of 53, he'd still be here.

Yeah, that’s the cause of his death. What the hell is it with stupid Brits getting idiotic drunk at resorts on airlines, on the street? They ruin things for others.

Bastard should have been insured. I can die in any country in there world, plus any state in the US and APASI will fly my body back home for the funeral. Kids don’t have to do anything except make a call.

Ya think? And he only drank half that amount.

Regarding the "challenge" aspect of this sad and stupid circumstance:
If it was a person-to-person challenge, it should have been laughed off as clearly insane and dangerous.
But assuming it was a challenge posted at the bar, I would have interpreted it as a challenge to "Have one of each drink over some reasonable period of time, like a week, and win a prize."
I've seen similar challenges at bars: "Ask for a punch-card, have one of each of our specialty drinks, get the card punched for each one, and then redeem the card at the end of the week for a free (something)."
Downing them all one after the other is suicide.
