A Limpopo man has reportedly died after drinking an entire bottle of alcohol in a R200 bet. In a video circulating on social media, the man can be chugging down the alcohol in 2-minutes.
According to reports, the 30-year old man took on a bet to see who could drink a bottle of alcohol the fastest.
The winner was to walk away with R200 and bragging rights.
Police are said to be investigating an inquest into his death, as the man collapsed and died shortly afterwards.
Police spokesperson, Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo, confirmed the incident, which took place at a tavern in Mashamba village, outside Louis Trichardt.
“Police in Waterval, outside Louis Trichardt have opened a case of inquest following an incident of apparent misuse of alcohol that took place at one of the local liquor outlets in Mashamba village. Patrons had allegedly participated in what they called a “drinking competition.” The winner who could consume the entire bottle of alcohol within a specified time would win R200 cash. One of the men immediately collapsed after and was taken to the local clinic but was certified dead.”
