Neknomination kills Brit aged 20

Councils urge Facebook & Twitter to carry warnings of craze

20 year old Bradley Aems was found dead after he had downed two pints of gin mixed with tea bags. The young man complained of a stomach ache and died 4 days later.The lad was a healthy rugby player and one of now many victims linked to the drinking game 

Now councils are calling on Facebook and Twitter to issue warnings about the craze on their websites. Government guidelines state you should limit yourself to 21 units a week and those taking part in neknominations are drinking this in two minutes and overloading their bodies. The body simply cannot handle that much and shuts down.






Councils are now publishing alcohol warning signs on internet information sites and school across the country are putting warnings on notice boards and alerting students of the danger in assemblies.

Like the 'planking' craze this has got out of control thanks to the internet and social media outlets such as YouTube and Facebook and Twitter. However, neknominations have been seen on Snap Chat and Instagram.
