In Karnataka, India, a young man named Karthik made a dangerous bet with his friends. He claimed he could drink five bottles of strong liquor in one go and would win ₹10,000. His friend Venkata Reddy challenged him, and Karthik, wanting to impress, accepted the bet.
Karthik drank five bottles of neat liquor without any mixers. Soon after, he started feeling very sick and had to be rushed to a hospital in Mulbagal, Karnataka. Sadly, he passed away while receiving treatment.
Karthik had only been married for a year and became a father just eight days before this tragic event. Following his death, the police arrested Venkata Reddy and another friend named Subramani. They are looking for other people involved in the incident.
Globally, alcohol is a major health issue. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that drinking too much alcohol leads to 2.6 million deaths every year. It can cause serious health problems, especially for young people aged 20 to 39, where it is linked to 13% of deaths in that age group.
Experts say there is no safe way to drink alcohol. Any amount can be harmful to health. The best advice is to drink less or not at all.
