Normal beer does not contain enough alc to poison a person. And look at the long time. Less than 3 beer an hour.
I hope you are joking about this. lol As C55L told you you can die from it. Its not the amount of alcohol that one beer contains. Its the accumulation of alcohol in your body that can kill you.
If that was the point one could drink countless drinks as long as they were the same as the first one that didnt hit them Get a shot of Vodka for example..... you are good? nothing happened? great !!! Now drink 30 more shots of the same vodka !!! Dont worry you wont feel a thing !!! lol Oh my, and you are 46 years old living in Germany (a beer country)

But 17 houtrs is a lot of time to drink 42 beers. I believe he didnt eat a think while drinking, that must have ruined him, in all terms, at the tables and in the stomach!!! Poor employees...

The person who kept taking the orders should of noticed he was intoxicated, and not able to function properly, the casino in question imo deserves the fine if they have staff like that.
