Drinking is often seen on multiple occasions from a wedding to a birthday. However, many people pride their drinking prowess at weddings which often results in uncontrollable vomiting or in this case going to the hospital.
In a video circulating on Facebook, a PRC man was seen drinking a whole bottle of liquor in China, this kind of Chinese liquor known as Bai Jiu is often served at weddings and the liquor is rated between 40 to 60% alcohol content.
When it is too much:
The man kept drinking despite those surrounding him stopping but his ego pushed him on and he continued drinking.
After drinking he still waved to the crowd in pride.
The video was cut into a scene where the man appears to have passed out and was brought away on a stretcher by medical personnel.
It is unclear if the man survives his drinking adventure.
