According to La Nueva España, Joaquín
Alcaraz Gracia, 45, claimed the title of
beer drinking champ during a festival held
in the Gea y Truyols district of
Murcia, Spain, Wednesday.
Sadly, his victory was very short-lived.
The rules of the drinking competition were
simple, contestants must drink as many liter-
glasses of beer as they can in 20
minutes. Gracia, who reportedly drank about 12.5
pints (six liters), died after the contest.
Local reports stated that upon receiving the
festival’s top prize, Gracia raised his trophy in
the air and immediately began vomiting.
Before that “he was fine”, explained Antonio
Alcaraz told Spanish newspaper Hoy. ”He had
drunk six litres of beer, and when he won he
lifted the trophy. Then he just started to vomit
without stopping and he never spoke again,”
Alcaraz said.
The drinking contest is part of the area’s annual
festival, which has been held for more than 15
years. But following Gracia’s
death, future festival plans have been
suspended, La Nueva España notes.
