Bartender sentenced after man drinks 56 shots and dies
 [STUFF.CO.NZ] A French bartender has been convicted of manslaughter after serving a man 56 shots of alcohol, killing him. Giles Crepin admits that he made a mistake by displaying the 'shots record' on a noticeboard in the 'Starter' bar. He will serve a four month prison sentence and is banned from working in bars for a year. The 56-year-old Renaud Prudhomme broke the shots record in the Clermon-Ferrand bar, drinking 56 shots in one sitting. This included 30 'shooters' - a straight shot of spirits or a hard mix - in just under a minute. Each shooter included between 20ml and 40ml or hard alcohol, meaning Prudhomme drank at least a litre of spirits. Crepin told Prudhomme "only 12 to go" as he neared the bar's existing record of 55. Prudhomme was carried home by his daughter and friends. Emergency services were called and he died in hospital the following day. Posted by: Fred 2015-05-29 |
