SINGAPORE: A 27-year-old woman died on Wednesday after consuming 18 glasses of hard liquor. This is more than nine times the drinking limit recommended for men by the Health Promotion Board.
According to a report, a guest had offered the woman, who worked as a hostess at a KTV lounge near Clarke Quay, $50 for every glass of liquor she downed.
The woman reportedly passed out after drinking 18 glasses and could not be woken up.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force said that she was conveyed unconscious "with no pulse and no breathing" to Singapore General Hospital (SGH) early Tuesday morning. - The Straits Times/Asis News Network
