Something happened while I was drinking with my best friend to drown my sorrows! A young girl from Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, mainland China, who was broken up in love, asked three of her best friends to drink with her to drown her sorrows. Unexpectedly, after the woman drank 1 kilogram of liquor, she suddenly lost signs of life. She was pronounced dead after being rushed to the hospital. The parents of the deceased were still injured. Enduring the grief and anger, I notified my daughter’s friends to the court, and the verdict was that the three of them had to pay compensation.

According to local media reports, the incident occurred on the evening of May 21. At that time, the deceased was depressed due to emotional pain, so he met three of his best friends to drink and complain. The deceased wanted to use alcohol to numb himself, so he drank 1 kilogram of liquor in one breath and then became drunk. It was not until about 5 a.m. that the friend realized that the woman had lost her breathing and heartbeat. She was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, but unfortunately, there was no way to save her. The cause of death was heart failure caused by alcohol poisoning.

The woman’s parents found it hard to accept the bad news. They believed that instead of discouraging her, her friends allowed her to get drunk and should be held responsible for their daughter’s sudden death. They took three people to court one after another. According to the hearing of the Nanchang High-tech Zone People’s Court, if someone is in a dangerous state of drunkenness during drinking, other co-drinkers should persuade them to drink and pay attention to their safety. It is believed that the three best friends of the deceased “failed to fulfill their reasonable rescue obligations”. According to the degree of fault, The compensation awards were respectively 20,000 to 50,000 yuan (approximately NT$87,000 to 219,000 NT dollars).

After the news was exposed, netizens questioned the unfairness of the verdict, saying, “That’s okay, it’s too unfair.” “What should I do if I don’t listen to the advice? How can I persuade someone who wants to drink. In order to prove that I persuaded him next time, You have to turn on the recording”, “It’s easy to persuade someone to drink, but how difficult it is to persuade them not to drink”, “Adults should be aware of the possible consequences of drinking a lot of alcohol!”, “This kind of judgment of “whoever sees it” is not fair enough” , “Refuse to drink, avoid risks!”, “Sign a liability exemption agreement before drinking in the future.”
