Despite his son’s best efforts to ensure that he was eating properly as anyone should, a man in Thailand refused solid food and chose to consume only beer for a month.
Tragically, that proved to be fatal as he suffered seizures and passed away.
Thai man refuses to eat & drinks only beer for 1 month
On Wednesday (July 16), emergency responders received a report about a man who was having convulsions at his home in Rayong Province, according to one local news report.
When they arrived at the scene, they found the man in an unconscious state with his hands and feet turning blue and couldn’t detect any vital signs from him.
Aside from that, they also stumbled upon hundreds of beer bottles which were arranged in an orderly fashion in the room, revealing the extent of his alcohol consumption.
Later, the man’s son recounted how his father’s behaviour became increasingly bizarre.
According to him, his father drank nothing but beer over the course of one month and refused to eat any food. Although his son tried to prepare meals for him, the man would refuse to eat it.
As for the reason for his refusal to eat, the family say they believe stress caused by personal problems may be behind it.
Dangers of overconsuming beer
Although beer contains high levels of calories, health practitioners say it still lacks the essential nutrients needed by the body to survive.
As such, replacing meals with beer can lead to severe health risks, including nutritional deficiencies, liver damage, and impaired nutrient absorption.
