Richard Davies swallowed a pint of vodka in four seconds, despite efforts to stop him

A drinker who had taken the dance drug mephedrone died after downing a pint of vodka in four seconds, an inquest heard.

Richard Davies swallowed the spirits in one go, despite attempts to stop him.

The 29-year-old had been drinking with friends before the alcohol - the equivalent of 13 pints of lager - knocked him into a stupor.

He was found unconscious and not breathing in a pool of his own blood, and died hours later.

Teesside Coroner's Court heard how the electrician's mate, of Thornaby, near Stockton-on-Tees, was five-and-a-half times the legal drink-drive limit .

His body also contained traces of the then-legal high mephedrone, which has since been banned.

Mr Davies' best friend Christopher Crooks told the inquest yesterday how he desperately tried to save his life after he was found unconscious at about 4.30pm on January 16.

In a statement read out by deputy Teesside coroner Tony Eastwood, he said: 'Richard drank a pint of vodka in four seconds or so.

'I did try to take the glass off him, but he turned his back on me, pushed me away, and drank it all.'

Mr Crooks had taken Mr Davies to his stepfather John Brocklesby's home, in Cobden Street, to sleep off the alcohol.

He made desperate attempts to save his friend when he stopped breathing but by the time paramedics had arrived Mr Davies was dead.

Pathologist Jan Lowe said Mr Davies had an alcohol level of 458mg in 100ml of blood, enough to have caused acute alcohol poisoning.

Recording a verdict of misadventure, Mr Eastwood said the alcohol in his system had killed him and that the mephedrone was not a contributing factor.

Holy fuck, 5.5x the legal limit! Wait, whats the legal limit in the UK? Cuz in the US, he would have a BA level of .4, which is fucking ridiculous.

I can think of at least a handful of dudes I've seen do the same but only one time it came close to anyone dying. Never turned out very pretty though.

Pfft I saw a guy do 2 beer bongs full of vodka at phish in wisconsin. He was fine even kept hula hooping with our girls a few hours later. Learn how to drink pussy

maszac · 09-30-2010, 03:32 PM

dude, but this is wisconsin, drinking is brought to a whole new level up here, no mere mortals, man, no mere mortals.

HTAM · 09-30-2010, 03:37 PM

LOL at the thread, shaking my head for his parents who are certainly devastated.

Everyone feels bulletproof in their 20's. Guilty myself about that, but after attempting to stop him what are his friends supposed to do?

Just last night an old friend and I were joking about a night when he was so loaded that he decided he was going foot it 5 miles to get home because I was loaded and wanted to wait until sunrise. Let him walk right? It was January and well below freezing that night.

So, after a SCENE any drunk would be embarrassed about causing, we let him go.

The last mile he got a lift......from LEO who must of been ending his shift because he had my friend dead to rights on public intoxication.

Rev, that was a top shelf one liner their!

Rubix · 09-30-2010, 09:25 PM

i like how they have to include mephedrone in the title to make it sound like it's a cause of death.

Sir-Ex · 09-30-2010, 09:27 PM

I made several attempts, Cap. We've, well not so much me these days, been creating memories like that for 20 years this past August.

He was pretty pissed the next day when he woke up and his wife told him who brought him home. When he called, I let him say his piece and then when I told him I had his wallet because he THREW it at me, he was ready to listen to the rest of the story.
