A scathing letter sent to the North Ogden mayor from 18 police and city employees shows that complaints from participants of a DUI training likely spurred the investigation.
it was probably being done at at the police station or a training facility owned by the police.
there probably wasn’t a bartender or barback or anyone even remotely close to TIPS certified. the volunteers (which usually aren’t actually aren’t the one’s being trained… For, uh. obvious reasons.) basically crack a bottle of whatever and get drunk so the class can see how it affects them. They’re not supposed to do a fireball challenge, but, eh… when you’re a small-town police department…
It WAS terrible he ended up in the hospital. Not even as a “let’s make sure you’re alright” kind of thing, he got saved there.
He learned his lesson though so there’s that.
His “friends” didn’t, but that whole “I was dying and it was your fault and you all were too drunk to help me” kinda ruined the friendship, too, so I don’t have to deal with them anymore, either.

What is the Fireball Challenge? Is it anything like thunder struck with fireball?
Honest answer? It’s how you get a bunch of dumbasses to kill themselves via alcohol intoxication.
Basically, you get the biggest bottle of fireball cinnamon whisky you can find/afford and drink it as quickly as you can.
Everything about that sounds terrible.
My roommate was one of those dumbasses.

If I were to argue with you, it’s because that description doesn’t go far enough.
