:( RIP :(

sad day, but their legend lives on. Pardon the ignorance, but what did he die of. I don't think i've ever heard of the cause.

Choke on his own vomit.

^^^ yes, he had 35-40 shots @ a bar.
walked over to page's house slept the wrong way up.
same way hendrix (sleeping pills) and bon scott (whisky) died.

Bonzo was known to hold his alcohol better then anyone in the group

what a shitty way to go :(

thats the reason why when hammered before I go to sleep I force my self to vomit :wink:

Bonzo is one of the greatest, maybe he was not the most technical drummer but he was a force of the nature

41 shots

22 is enough to kill virtually anybody...
RIP Bohnam, easily the most influential drummer ever, in the greatest band ever.

mmmm... Depends on what your drinking and how much you weigh.

With out saying anything incriminating Ill say hypothetically I've seen more then 1 person drink 25 and not even vomit... Then again they were in their college years when liquer was so much easier to handle. As you get older it seems like you get drunk off less and less. That and you don't care to drink that much even if you could.

incriminating?

yes, this is very true... hell, ive had more then 22 (how many shots does a 1/5th hold? ive polished off all but 2 shots of a 1/5th my second year)

it also depends on how quickly you drink em.
ive had much less and puked because i drank too quickly :lol:

For professional reasons I generally avoid making statements about things like that. Could come back to bite you in the ass if you ever run for a upper level job or political position.. Not that Ill do either but ya never know.

25.x shots. Given you use a real shot and not something more or less.

RIP J.B.

Yes, speed matters :) :)

last time i checked; prohabition ended 80 or so years ago ;) Ted is quite the affluent drinker, among many other politicians
