And here I would have guessed severe alcohol poisoning.

Oh well.....

[Bullish]

What a lightweight.

[Veto!]

Something’s wrong with this story. Anyone served that many drinks would have fallen on the floor the minute he left his seat. If not before.

[PGR88]

In the good old days, he would have just got a hickory shampoo, woke up with a headache, blamed it on the alcohol and would have had to apologize to the captain.

Like many cruise lines, Royal C offers “unlimited drink” packages. This guy was probably demanding all of this alcohol to get his money’s worth, and the bartender most likely felt obligated to keep pouring.

[pfflier]

Probably bought one of those all you can drink packages.

He basically drank himself to death. Chances are he was already an alcoholic and I am sure a lot of things will come out in discovery, especially his medical records.

I can’t imagine how he could drink 3 dozen cocktails, shades of Jon Bonham.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

One bourbon, one scotch, and one beer. Times eleven.

administered an injection of a sedative medication, Haloperidol

Haloperidol is an antipsychotic, not a sedative. It is at times administered with a sedative for combative patients.

"Virgil was detained during a drunken rage, in which he allegedly attacked and threatened to kill crew members and passengers..."

DING DING DING DING There's your first clue Sherlock. Obviously the cruise company was plotting against him simply because he was an asshole. Man! I should have went to law school...

[Beowulf9]

Did he happen to ‘come back’ as a raccoon?

[maddog55]

Not the ships fault or the bartenders. Customer is always right...you get what you ask for.

[MayflowerMadam]

He probably bought the drink package and wanted to get his money’s worth.

Cruise drinks are very, very weak.

“Put im in the longboat till he’s sober,
earlie in the mornin’”

[JimRed]

33 drinks...over a few hours, or a couple of continuous days? The timing must be after the “snip” and before the continuation.

“and he broke into a rage when he left the bar extremely inebriated and couldn’t find his room.” I couldn’t either, but it was after I fell over backwards on the escalator at a casino.

Virgil died of “significant hypoxia and impaired ventilation, respiratory failure, cardiovascular instability and ultimately cardiopulmonary arrest, leading to his death which has been ruled a homicide,” the lawsuit read.

[equaviator]

That’s what you call being all fupp duck.
