POSTED TO HEALTH, BARTENDING, SAFETY FIRST, ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION, ALCOHOL POISONING.
On Tuesday, Eric Morris of Florida died after consuming more than two dozen cherry vodka shots within a half hour. Witnesses provided evidence that he had taken 23 to 25 "cherry bomb" shots in a 30 minute duration. A Cherry Bomb is made by combining cherry vodka with the Red Bull energy drink.

The 26-year-old male was said to be participating in a drinking game with another patron at Angel's Show Bar in Seffner Florida hours before he died. While his drinking buddy stopped after just a few shots, for some reason the bartender kept serving Morris and "decided at shot glass 24 or 25 that she wasn't going to serve him anymore." Just moments after being declined more alcohol, Morris "staggered away from the bar where he had been drinking and collapsed."

Unable to resuscitate him, patrons at the bar called 911. Morris was transported to a local hospital and then died about two hours after the party had begun. The odd thing about this is that he used to work in a bar himself, as a bouncer. Seeing people test their limits with alcohol, one would think he would have learned not to outdo himself, however his sister thinks he kept taking the shots to try to prove his endurance, which was valued in their family.

There is currently no legal limit as to how much liquor a bar can serve a patron. Do you think a law like this should be enforced? Many bartenders know when it is time to "cut someone off," however when it comes down to making money, is this really a consideration while serving someone who is severely impaired in making decisions? It seems a large misjudgment caused this man his life, and also a reminder to others when enough is too much.
