Brit man dies in Jamaica after 'trying to drink all 21 cocktails on hotel menu'

A British holidaymaker died in Jamaica after trying to down all 21 cocktails on the hotel bar menu, an inquest heard.

Timothy Southern, from Lichfield, Staffordshire, was at the pool when he met two Canadian women who were trying to complete the challenge to celebrate one of their birthdays. The 53-year-old, who had already drunk beer and brandy that morning, decided to join them.

He made it through 12 of the cocktails before heading back to his room at the Royal Decameron Club Caribbean, in Saint Ann. Shortly after, he fell ill and sadly died in the hotel, the Mirror reports.
