A bartender in Oslo is jailed for serving a customer 19 shots
A bartender in Oslo is jailed for serving a customer 19 shots of tequila in under 90 minutes - a lethal dose of alcohol which killed the customer.

The sentence wasn't for murder or manslaughter however. The crime was serving liquor to an intoxicated person. It's hard to imagine even this being a crime in Oslo. Doing shots isn't a recreational activity here, it's a way of life.

Upon further investigation, it is reported that the bartender probably wouldn't have been charged at all except that he was in a drinking contest with the victim ...and kept filling his own glass with water.

No sympathy here. Throw away the key.
