'Vodka marathon' winner dies

MOSCOW: The alcohol-hardened winner of a vodka drinking marathon
in southwest Russia outpaced all his rivals, but failed to
collect his prize of 10 bottles of the prized spirit -- after
dying on the spot, ITAR-TASS reported on Wednesday.

The other five competitors ended up in emergency care in the
hospital, and prosecutors in the city of Volgodonsk have filed
charges of involuntary homicide against the organizers of the
weekend drinking contest, the news agency said.

The participants of the event, which took place in a bar, were
invited to down half-liter glasses of the Russian national drink
and refill as much as they could from buckets filled to the brim
with vodka.

The rules allowed them to accompany the vodka, as is
traditional in Russia, with sausage, black bread and mustard.
The organizers will also be charged with breaking the law on
advertising, which forbids staging events that promote the
consumption of alcohol.

The report did not say how much the contest casualties had
drunk. In 2002, 40,000 Russians died from alcohol poisoning and
it is not uncommon for Russian males to down a liter of the
liquid on a night out. --AFP
