Man dies after downing an entire bottle of Jaegermeister in less than two minutes.


Police have confirmed that a man has tragically died after downing a whole bottle of Jaegermeister in just two minutes.

The South African resident, who hasn't been named, had been taking part in a drinking competition in Limpopo when he consumed the 35% spirit. Local paper Sowetan Live reports that the man, believed to be between 25 and 30 years old, immediately collapsed and was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead. Police in Waterval, outside Louis Trichardt in Limpopo, have now opened an inquest into the death of the unidentified man, who they believe is around 25 or 30 years old.

Brig Motlafela Mojapelo, a Limpopo police spokesperson, said the incident occurred at a liquor store in Mashamba village, where a contest was held to see who could drink an entire bottle of Jägermeister the fastest. A cash prize of R200 (approximately £10) was offered. A social media video shows the man downing the bottle of Jaegermeister.

"One of them immediately collapsed and was taken to a nearby clinic, where he was pronounced dead." Health experts have previously warned against challenges involving large amounts of alcohol consumed in a short period of time. Elaine Hindal, former chief executive of alcohol education charity Drinkaware, previously told The Huffington Post, "Your body can only process one unit of alcohol an hour, and less in some people." "If you drink a lot in a short period of time, the amount of alcohol in your blood can prevent your body from working properly."

Authorities confirmed that the tragic incident occurred around 11.30 p.m. on Sunday, July 10. According to the Daily Star, the man competed against others to see who could finish the drink the fastest, with the winner receiving R200 (£9.90). He downed the 35% ABV bottle of booze in less than two minutes, but suffered some sort of health problem immediately afterwards.

 The Mirror asked Martin Preston, the founder and chief executive of rehab retreat Delamere, to explain the harm caused by binge drinking. When you drink alcohol, it enters your bloodstream and travels to your brain. "Vision may blur, coordination may suffer, and memory may suffer," he explained.

"Binge drinking can also lead to blackouts." This is due to the fact that an increase in the amount of alcohol in your brain can cause you to stop forming new memories. When a person binges drinks without first eating anything, the risk of blacking out increases. “ “The kidneys, like the liver, are designed to filter out any waste or unnecessary fluid in the body," Preston continued.

However, binge drinking, even once, can interfere with what they are supposed to do. Even one night of binge drinking can be harmful. Even one night of binge drinking can be harmful. "Alcohol inhibits the production of certain hormones that help your kidneys return water to your body."

 "Because alcohol suppresses hormones, it can cause dehydration, which can contribute to how bad your hangover is the next day." Binge drinking, as demonstrated by the tragic incident that occurred this week, can result in death in more extreme cases.

THE JOAN GAMPER TROPHY PITS FC BARCELONA AGAINST PUMAS UNAM.

   The Joan Gamper Trophy, also known as the Joan Gamper Cup, was established in 1966, with the Blaugrana inviting Anderlecht from Belgium, Nantes from France, and Koln from Germany to the inaugural event. It had four participants until 1997 Barcelona and three other invitees and consisted of two semi-final ties, a third-place playoff, and a final. The Blaugrana won their first championship, defeating Cologne 3-1 in the final. Due to an increased fixture list, the Joan Gamper Trophy underwent changes in 1997, abandoning the previous format in favour of a one-off match style. Furthermore, there is no extra time in the competition, with a penalty shoot-out deciding the winner if the game is tied after 90 minutes. This tournament has drawn teams from all over the world, including fellow Spanish powerhouses Atletico Madrid and Valencia, as well as South American behemoths Boca Juniors, River Plate, and Santos. In 2017, Barcelona invited Chapecoense to the 52nd Joan Gamper Trophy...

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT APPLE'S NEW IPHONE 14 AND 14 PRO

iPhone 14 is only a few weeks away, but leaks have already revealed much of what to expect. According to early reports, the new handset will include significant new features, improvements, and the removal of some well-known design elements. The phone, along with a slew of other products, will be released by Apple in September. But here's everything we know about the iPhone 14, including a possible date for the big Apple event. According to numerous reports, Apple has finally removed the notch that is cut out of the top of the display in the new devices. Instead, all of the components that are hidden there, such as the facial recognition sensor and front-facing camera, could be placed in a small cutout at the top of the screen, allowing the display to extend all the way up. That redesign could be limited to Pro models only. Rumours suggest that regular iPhones will have the same notch as the iPhone 13. Otherwise, the design is expected to stay largely the same. There may be some tw...
