A Florida man who drank at least 23 shots of vodka mixed with Red Bull energy drink in about 30 minutes quickly collapsed at the bar where he was drinking and later died, ABC News reported June 27.
Eric Morris, aged 26, 6-foot-4 and weighing 210 pounds, ordered dozens of "cherry bomb" shots at a Seffner, Fla., adult nightclub called Angels Show Bar. "Witnesses told us that the bartender kept setting up glasses of shots for [Morris] and then for whatever reason decided at shot glass 24 or 25 that she wasn't going to serve him anymore," said Hillsborough County Sheriff's spokesman J.D. Callaway.
Shortly after being refused any more alcohol, Morris reportedly staggered from the bar and collapsed. He was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead a few hours later.
Morris formerly worked as a bouncer at the bar, and was recently released from prison. His sister, Jacqui, said that her brother may have been trying to prove his strength by drinking so much. "It's just because we had to be tough," she said. "We were raised to be tough."
"They should have cut him off after the first five," she added.

Drug and addiction can be devastating to family members and individuals.Drug addiction treatment can include medications, behavioral therapy (such as cognitive therapy, psychotherapy, counseling, etc. ). A Research Based Guide released from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) said that treatment must be specific to each individual and assessed and modified continually to match the person’s changing needs.
Its really very sad,I don't understand, why people make their life slum with alcohol when they know that its the worse.
