Unusual Deaths Quiz

7/10

However, the one that stood out to me and made me laugh was this one:
On Oct. 17, 1814, a ruptured tank at the Meux and Company Brewery unleashed more than 3,500 barrels of beer onto the streets of London, creating a wave of beer that knocked down walls, flooded basements and demolished houses. Eight people drowned. The ninth died of alcohol poisoning, after attempting to stop the flood by drinking the beer.

Free beer is free beer. I might've stopped before death occurred, though.
