Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>A 42-year-old man has died after drinking excessive alcohol in Kwania District.<\/p>\n

Nixon Odur, has been receiving medical treatment from his home at Adwong-Owiri Village in Atongtidi Sub County, Kwania District after drinking one litre of local brew (waragi) on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

It is reported that the peasant farmer took the alcohol after developing misunderstandings with his wife.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis man had one wife and seven children. He had been telling people that his wife and children are giving him a lot of headache, so he would be leaving home soon,\u201d Mr Dickens Onea, the deceased\u2019s neighbour, said.<\/p>\n

Mr Denis Edam, the area LC1 chairperson, confirmed Odur\u2019s death, saying he died when preparations to take him to the hospital were underway.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe tried to take him to the hospital but he was too weak. So we decided to call a nurse who was treating him from his home, but his condition kept deteriorating and eventually died. It is so unfortunate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Patrick Onyum Okwang, the Atongtidi LC3 chairperson, condemned the act saying alcoholism is not a solution to any problem.<\/p>\n

This is not the first case of death by excessive drinking of alcohol in Lango sub-region. Last month, a 28-year-old man died in Apac District after drinking half a litre of waragi in a competition.<\/p>\n
