Really, rolling on the floor here. How can I get any work done with brilliant stuff like this going on?? Here's the connection -- in the DR, they celebrate Mexican Night -- just like Pedro's Compadres: Man dies after winning tequila-drinking contest AZCentral.com reports (8 March 2005) from the Dominican Republic that the 21-year-old winner of a competition to drink the most tequila died and three other contestants were gravely ill in the hospital. Ricardo Ivan Garcia drank more than 50 shots of tequila at Santo Domingo's Blanc, Dance and Lounge discotheque to win the prize of $330 at a Mexican night celebration. But he took ill, was hospitalized and died within hours, apparently from heart failure brought on, you guessed it, by alcohol poisoning.
