    Drinking Contests? Think Twice...

    Man Dies After Winning Tequila Shot Contest

    SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — One person is dead and three are gravely ill following a tequila drinking competition in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

    The winner of the contest died. Officials say Ricardo Ivan Garcia — who was 21 — drank more than 50 shots of tequila Sunday night at a disco. The prize was ten-thousand pesos — about 330 dollars.

    A prosecutor says the man died of apparent heart failure brought on by alcohol poisoning.

    Three other contestants remain in serious condition in the hospital.

    I once saw Jim Coombs drink 200 shots of tequila, each one chased with a shot of shoe polish filtered thru a newspaper, and then climb onto a chopped Harley and ride off into the sunset.
    I've been to dinner at Jimmy Buffet's house, and I've eaten it at a homeless shelter. And there's great joy and harrowing terror to be found in both places.

    Jim Coombs pees tequila and sweats Mad Dog 20-20.

    If there had been a tie, the tie-breaker would have been an aspirin-eating contest.
