J.D. Callaway says.
Eric Morris, 26,
was allegedly taking part in a drinking game with another patron
at an adult nightclub, Angels Show Bar, in Seffner, Fla., just

bombs,'" said Callaway, referring to a shot of liquor that is
typically made by combining cherry-flavored vodka with Red Bull,
a popular energy drink.
While Morris'
drinking buddy, who police declined to identify, stopped playing
the game after a few shots, Morris kept going.
