Tragic Incident: 25-Year-Old Engineer Dies After Participating in Bar’s Drinking Challenge

A 25-year-old engineer from Zhuke, surnamed Zhang, tragically lost his life after participating in a drinking challenge at an outdoor bar. On the evening of the 7th, Zhang and his friends visited the bar, where he took part in the Holy Grail Drinking Challenge, consuming 700ml of a “passion fruit” cocktail in just 8 minutes.

After the challenge, Zhang went to the basement toilet of the nearby ATT 4 FUN department store, where he was later found dead. The incident has sparked an investigation, and the bar’s operator has expressed regret and a willingness to cooperate with the probe.

Bar Operator’s Statement

Details of the Drinking Challenge

According to the police investigation, the Holy Grail Drinking Challenge involved consuming a 40% spirit vodka mixed with 300ml of ice. Participants were required to deposit 500 yuan and could receive a refund if they finished the drink within 8 minutes. If they failed to complete the challenge, the 500 yuan would be forfeited.

Timeline of Events

At 0:25 a.m. on the 8th, Zhang consumed the spirit-broken passion fruit and then visited the basement toilet of the ATT 4 FUN department store. He left the toilet a minute later but returned at 0:34.
