The family of a Chinese man, who died from alcohol poisoning in a binge drinking competition last year, will get a compensation of USD 70,000 from the organisers of the contest.

Wang Qiang took part in the contest in Luoyang City in Henan Province in July last year with a friend.

Both men reportedly said they "felt weird" after a competitive binge-drinking session.

The other man regained consciousness after medical attention, however, Wang was not so lucky.

The cause of death was attributed to alcohol poisoning.

Wang's family filed a lawsuit against the organisers of the event: the Henan Alcohol Association, the Henan Alcohol Association Luoyang Office and Luoyang Siyue Trade Co Ltd, for their active role in Wang's death.
 

The Laocheng district court of Luoyang ruled that the organisers should pay 4,47,642 yuan (USD 70,000) to the family.
