The drinking game from hell

Man hospitalized by lethal beer bong

"A 21-year-old Perth man is lucky to be alive after having his stomach ripped open during a beer-skolling game using a home-made device powered by an electric pump... It is believed to have consisted of a helmet fitted with a jug from which a hose was attached to a pump that was powered by a power drill... 'I knew something wasn't right soon after I drank from it. I started spewing up red stuff and was in a lot of pain.' ... Surgeon David Cooke said the split in the wall of the man's stomach had pushed food and beer into his abdominal cavity, making him septic. His insides had to be 'washed out' twice and he was put on heavy-duty antibiotics."
