Outdone. Even in my stupid student days I still would think this whole thing is ridiculous!

Glad the options for my poll were so well thought-out :)

I can't see the problem, but then I don't need much persuading to have a drink and a laugh.

Maybe your charisma bypass was a complete success afterall? :D

But this isn't about "going out, having a drink and a laugh" which most people manage perfectly well. This is about the 'neknominate' part of the drinking which clearly brings out the idiots! I very strongly suspect that Isaac would be alive today were it not for this 'game'.

I'm surprised that killed him as well. Not sure of the maths of it, but that's only something like 24% proof?

It's not just the proof, it's that he drank 1.5 litres of it, as fast as he possibly could, which isn't how most people drink 1.5 litres of 24% alcoholic drink!
Every part of his stomach and intestine will have been absorbing the alcohol at the same time, leading to pretty much immediate alcohol poisoning.

Would / could you drink 2 bottles of wine, straight up, 1 after the other, and think you'd be OK? Then to get it closer to the %age he was drinking, down about a further 10-15 shots of vodka?

I'd personally expect to vomit all over the place and be in all kinds of pain, with a high likelihood of hospitalization from such aa idiot move, hence why I wouldn't ever try it.

I suppose you could be bringing them into disrepute by association.

I'd assume it's something like that. We encourage safe and sensible drinking so an employee doing the exact opposite and filming themselves doing it wouldn't do the companies image a lot of good.

Still, not overly impressed they're trying to control what their employees do out of work.

People who can have a laugh without drinking life threatening amounts of alcohol probably have much more charisma than you give them credit for.

Anyone who sets out to impress other people by drinking nail varnish remover, pints of gin, motor oil or their own liquidised turds deserves EVERYTHING that's coming to them.
 
To be honest, if, like many I've seen, people are just drinking a pint of entirely safe (if a bit odd) ingredients, a bit weird but a bit of fun.

If you decide to drink a pint of bleach, then I believe it's called natural selection
 
If people are daft enough to try it then I have no sympathy, if they die doing it, unlucky for the family, good for Darwin.

Completely agree with you, it seems that quite a few on here are believing to the media's take on it, which is that everyone who involved in this is doing pints of spirits before jumping in a cage with a tiger. When it's mostly just people either dressing up or going nude while downing one pint, maybe with some vinegar or protein powder in as well.

I agree with wkingsnorth as well. As long as you know your limits and aren't doing anything too ridiculous that is going to affect anyone else then there's no harm done.

Idiots jumping of bridges and downing bleach and engine oil etc deserve all they get.
 
The last time I decided to do anything so stupid was when a rather heavy drinking mate of mine challenged me to go drink for drink with her one day we started around 8:30am finished around 11:30pm I spent £300 odd and can't remember anything past 3pm I was in what can only be described as an undead state for the next 3 days.
 
Some of the videos i have seen are utterly bizarre but still quite amusing. Dog food and raw fish seem quite popular at the moment!

I more enjoy the people that spend the money on buying homeless people a drink rather than downing a bottle of jack or something stupid!
 
As I am in to my hardhouse/trance, techno etc, I tend to have a lot of DJ's and producers on my facebook

The latest craze is "Deck nomination" where you have to do a comedy mini mix on the decks, then nominate 3 people

Wonder what will be next.
 
both, like msot things.

can be funny if a little silly or can be utterly ****tarded when taken to extremes by idiots.
