A man who downed a full bottle of Jack Daniels in 13 seconds in a video that went viral last night said it was a "stupid" stunt and regretted doing it. I posted the video (below) yesterday.
Will Williams posted the video on his YouTube page after the reckless stunt was filmed by a group of friends, The Daily Post reports. The video, which has had more than 400,000 views, shows Mr Williams biting the seal off the 70cl bottle of 40% proof Jack Daniels bourbon. As he downs the liquor his friends can be heard laughing in the background, with one calling him an ‘animal’.
After completing the stunt he jokes “Neknominate that”, in reference to the controversial online drinking game.
Last night the 27-year-old, who filmed the stunt at a motorway services near Chester en route to Newcastle, said: “It was something that I did jokingly and regret deeply.
“Straight away, I knew it was a stupid thing to have done.
“I was on a stag-do at the time, one thing led to another and things got out of hand.
“I wasn’t dared and I wouldn’t want anybody to do the same thing after seeing me do it.
“It was a dangerous thing to do, I know that now and I’d never do it again.
“After I finished, I jokingly said ‘necknominate that’ but I absolutely didn’t mean it and didn’t nominate anybody.
“When I posted the video, I only expected friends to view it really”
“I didn’t realise that it would go UK wide and eventually world-wide, I’ve had messages from people all over the world since.”
Some viewers described Mr Williams as “hot” and “gorgeous” with one telling him he deserved “big respect”. Others expressed disbelief at the potentially fatal stunt, and called it “idiotic”.
A 70cl bottle of Jack Daniels contains 28 units of alcohol.
The NHS recommends men should not regularly drink more than 3-4 units of alcohol a day.
