SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — One person is dead and three are gravely ill following a tequila drinking competition (search) in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

The winner of the contest died. Officials say Ricardo Ivan Garcia — who was 21 — drank more than 50 shots of tequila Sunday night at a disco. The prize was ten-thousand pesos — about 330 dollars.

A prosecutor says the man died of apparent heart failure brought on by alcohol poisoning (search).

Three other contestants remain in serious condition in the hospital.

Before any of YOU guys drag me into this one, I get the first words...

What a pity ... you think they'll let his wife get the prize money?

That's a good question. Maybe they'll give it to the top drinker that lived...

I love tequila, but it's terrible when mixed with red wine, ugh. I got $hit faced at a work function on mounds of tequila and around 5 glasses of merlot, ugh.

My stomach hurts just thinking about that combo.

Well at least he won. It would really suck if one of the other guys died and they don't even win.

I did this tequila tour down in La Paz during a fishing trip. Pay X dollars and they keep whipping out the different Ta-Kill-Yas on you. A lot of stuff we don't see here.

I thought the best stuff was actually a mid priced bottle in the $20 to $30 range. I wish I could remember what the stuff was.
