#3 I note that this it not one of the Anglosphere countries, infamous for their tradition of drunken sots, nor one of the Slavic ones, ditto, but France -- known for its gastronomical appreciation of the finest things, and ever controlled.

The wonder is that no one stuck a finger down the man's throat after, that by throwing up the poison he'd not die of it.

#4 "Portejoie said that the dead man's daughter had pushed him to break the record. He also noted existing alcohol abuse and respiratory problems."

#5 Assuming a 1oz shot, that's 1.6ish liters. Shooters are notorious for being weak on the liquor. Should've stuck with beer. Much harder to consume fatal amounts.
