Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.
This is not proper news, people have been dying from over-drinking for centuries. I came close myself, as did my mate, circa 1994
It happens. Ten years later I nearly died when the motorcycle I was doing about 165 mph on, bounced off a Citroen BX16 that joined the Autoroute at a severe rate of knots, half sideways and obviously piloted by a pissed native. To hit the motorway and go across three lanes takes some doing. We both survived. But if I hadn't, it wouldn't have made the papers.
Proper journalism must now concentrate on the absolute carnage - financially and socially - that surrounds us.
Or is this a part of the overall dumbing-down?

Evolution in action. If he couldn't hold hid drink he had no right to breed.
PIMF: hid -> his
On a certain forum I post on, every single incident of this nature is followed by sixteen pages of a sad smiley face followed by "RIP". However, start a thread about Obama winning the election, and all I got back was "It's in America, it's not important".
I hate Britain sometimes.
