This is sad, however that is not what comes to my attention. When I read this what jumped out at me was the quote that one of his friend's told to the investigators, "Richard drank a pint of vodka in 4 seconds or so." To me, from this quote the or so is what really sticks out. Obviously this was some form of contest that they were holding and one of them said he couldn't do it and he said he could. I bet they know damn well the exact amount of time it took to drink that vodka. There's no "or so" in these types of things. I still remember from two years ago when someone did a shotgun/chug/funnel in 16 seconds.
