Who hasn't downed a naggin of a spirit at some stage of their lives?. This is an extension of it, and yeah the craze encouraged it. Yeah it was a stupid thing to do but even downing a beer is pretty stupid really. Can't help feeling awfully sorry for this guys family and friends. Just needless ��

I would guess most people? Most of us have drank more than we should at some point but a pint of spirits that quickly will not end well and I would expect a 20 year old to know that.

I feel sorry for his friends and family but he was an idiot to do it with anything more than 3-4% alcohol. I dont blame this neknomination stuff for it at all, everyone else is doing it with a can or pint of beer.

Jesus lads, it's a small country. He lived down the road from me - I don't know him or anything, but I live on Macken Street everyday, where he was found. Fair enough, you're all intelligent enough to realise that downing a pint whiskey isn't the safest thing to do, but no need to insult the dead, especially when there's a high probability that family and friends will see this thread. Have a bit of cop on ffs.

I was wondering how long would it take for the high top calvary to charge in.

So I'm "high top cavalry" because I have a problem with people belittling a family's loss and I'm willing to speak up about it?
I'd rather be high top cavalry than an "I told you so" jerk, particularly where a young person's death and its impact on those left behind is concerned.

Sure Hitler was someones friend and son, hardly excuses his actions

that the first nazi mention in the thread?

You must be kidding, right?
You Godwin'd yourself to try to compare a foolish young guy who died after a drinking game to Hitler???

If we were all to have every single stupid act that we did when young held up in front of us, I'm sure that there is many an honest poster on here who will think to themselves on reflection "Jesus, that was a close one"

RIP to the lad.

As someone who knows the guy who died indirectly I think some of the comments here are disgraceful.

Its funny. Some people take themselves too serious. People like them because they are funny enough. Some are disgusting and get liked because......... dont really know. If someone put piss in their drink and drank it theyd be considered a creep. Surround him by a few cheering mates and call it a neknominate and it okay. Strange things happening every day.

Sure, because everyone in history who's ever done a stupid dare involving alcohol is clearly a raging and violent alcoholic whose family is glad to see the back of him/her.
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're trolling, not sure if my faith in humanity can handle too many more batterings in one day

No sympathy. You do retarded things you deserve what happens.

Your wit really knows no bounds does it? I can only hope to one day transcend this pitiful existence as a mediocre being and reach your level of enlightenment and self-righteousness.

Grow up. What he did was stupid no doubt but some of the talk in here is still a disgrace and you know it.

Is it morons day out or is there a full moon or something??

Earlier on the thread someone mentions Australians doing it with all sorts of stuff.

Was it a litre of whiskey or a pint? (not that it matters but) reports vary.

I have found quite a lot of the efforts to be humorous and harmless in the main. Most people keep it to a pint of beer or the odd measure of spirits.

What sort of a douchebag necks a pint of whiskey? Only going to be one result from that.

Turtwig

What he did was pathetically stupid but it doesn't mean he was stupid or deserved to die. Did he harm or abuse anyone else while doing it? No. Tragic loss, condolences to the family. RIP.

Perhaps on an optimistic note this may help moderate the neknominating a bit.

If my son or brother or whatever died due to complete idiocy of his own making, do you reckon I would be on boards having a meltdown over some comments about said idiocy?

Agreed.

It takes an even bigger moron to gloat about it.

Not everyone knows that about whiskey though. There's foods or drinks you don't know the limits about either. It was ignorance i.e lack of awareness of the harmful effects of whiskey that got him killed. Any 'nekker' could be ignorant towards any particular ingredient. It's good that you're aware of the harmful effects of whiskey but you don't know the effects of every drink so please think twice before you cast the label of douchebag on someone for not knowing something or bowing to a pervasive culture of alcohol adoration. Because anyone can be guilty of either of those things.

Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize this thread was titled "man is dead". thread. Maybe if this thread was in obituaries instead of AH you'd get a different response.

Andy-Pandy

Not a smart thing to do for sure, but some of the comments on here are heartless and pathetic. We have all done silly things when we where younger. His friends and family will most probably read this thread and you will only compound their heartbreak. AH amazes me sometimes, some of its users are such a55holes

I don't think he died from a neknomination. This seems to be just a rumour. His neknomination video is on his facebook page from 22nd January.

I don't know if it was a litre or a pint but I would say its more likely a pint which is 568ml. A naggin is 200ml.

Some real arseholes on this thread.

Drinking a pint of spirits was indeed moronic but a guy is dead, there's no need for that. I'm sure his friends and family will find it pretty hard to go on without his contribution to their lives.

I feel sorry for his friends & family for their loss - I genuinely do - but every moron is related to someone; so by your logic we can never speak ill of anyone ever.
All I said was that the guy was an idiot (true), and it's no loss that he has been removed from the human gene pool (true).

This is akin to that other idiot who died while planking.

FearDark

But it's ok to call him a moron and a douchebag because you're doing it on the internet??!

Seriously? The 40% on the bottle wouldn't be enough of a warning sign, no?
