A party born out of love turned out to be a gamble of life and death. In order to forget the pain of love, Xiaoqiu (pseudonym) in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, met with three friends Wang Qi, Xu Tian, and Chen Duo (all pseudonyms) to eat and drink at Wang Qi's house. Unexpectedly, Xiaoqiu drank too much alcohol and died of alcohol poisoning in the car. Her parents were so grief-stricken that they took Wang Qi and the others to court, demanding huge compensation.
On the evening of May 21, 2023, Xiaoqiu came to Wang Qi's house with a heavy heart, hoping to temporarily forget the sadness of breaking up in the company of her best friend. Wang Qi, Xu Tian, and Chen Duo saw her so haggard, and they couldn't bear to persuade her to be temperate, so they just drank with her. Xiaoqiu drank more than a pound of liquor in one go, and Wang Qi also drank half a catty. Xu Tian and Chen Duo didn't drink, just chatted with them.
After the dinner, Xiaoqiu was already drunk and unconscious, Xu Tian helped her to the car, and he also accompanied her in the car. Who knows, when Xu Tian woke up in the early morning of the next day, he found that Xiaoqiu had stopped breathing. Xu Tian panicked and immediately dialed 120. Unfortunately, Xiaoqiu had no hope of survival, and the Nanchang Emergency Center announced at 6:20 a.m. on May 22 that Xiaoqiu had died of heart failure caused by alcohol poisoning.
Xiaoqiu's parents were devastated to learn of their daughter's death. They believe that Wang Qi, as Xiaoqiu's friends, should be responsible for her safety, instead of allowing her to drink too much alcohol or even send her to the hospital in time. On June 6, 2023, they sued Wang Qi and the others to the People's Court of Nanchang High-tech Zone, Jiangxi Province, demanding that they compensate Xiaoqiu for the loss of her death.
After the trial, the court held that Wang Qi and the others did not fulfill their reasonable obligation to rescue Xiaoqiu when they drank too much, and they were at fault, and they should bear the corresponding liability for compensation according to the degree of fault. The court ruled that Wang Qi should bear 6% of the compensation liability and pay more than 50,000 yuanXu Tian and Chen Duo each bear 3% of the compensation liability, and each compensate more than 20,000 yuan.
At the same time, the court reminded that drinkers should respect themselves and love themselves, have the highest duty of care for their own life safety, and should not injure themselves by drinking alcohol because of momentary emotions. Co-drinkers shall care for each other, remind each other, fulfill their obligations to care for and rescue the drunk, and promptly send them to the hospital for medical treatment to avoid the occurrence of tragedies.
