Eric Morris, age 26, obviously was not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Put together immaturity, a drinking contest and an adult nightclub, and the result was death.
We have witnesses that have described the victim as taking anywhere from 23 to 25 shots in 30 minutes,” Hillsborough County Sheriff’s spokesman J.D. Callaway told ABCNEWS.com.
Eric Morris, 26, was allegedly taking part in a drinking game with another patron at an adult nightclub, Angels Show Bar, in Seffner, Fla., just hours before he died, according to police.
“Apparently [other bar patrons] were describing the shots as ‘cherry bombs,’” said Callaway, referring to a shot of liquor that is typically made by combining cherry-flavored vodka with Red Bull, a popular energy drink.
While Morris’ drinking buddy, who police declined to identify, stopped playing the game after a few shots, Morris kept going.
That’s one time when persistence didn’t pay off.
