Drinking binge kills six men

SEMARANG, Central Java: Six men died yesterday of drinking too
much alcohol, police said.

Central Java police spokesman Lt. Col. Bardja said they died
after drinking vast quantities of a homemade concoction: a
mixture of alcohol, wine and herbal jamu.

"They died after trying to outdo each other to see who was the
best drinker," he said without saying whether an autopsy had been
performed. (har)
