Drunken Master: Man Dies After Consuming 4 Crates of Beer

A middle-aged man reportedly drank his way to the afterlife in Shasha, a suburb of Lagos, western Nigeria.

According to P.M.NEWS, the man simply identified as Femi Aluko was a well-known drunkard in his residence, the deceased was boasting to people that he could finish 4 crates of beer and his fellow beer parlour attendee decided to take him by his words.

However, after Aluko finished the four crates of beer he became heavily drunk and fell into the gutter on his way back home.

It was gathered that none of the residents tried to help him all because he was already known as a street drunk.

The deceased was later found dead the next morning still lying in the gutter. 

According to a resident, Mrs Nike Salawu she said that the late Aluko has been severally told to stop his drinking addiction but because he had family challenges for several years, heavy drinking of alcohol was the only way he thought of dealing with his problem.

Confirming the incident by the shasha police division, his corpse was taken to the General Hospital for autopsy before his family showed up to claim his remains for his burial.
