I was hoping to read about a whole boatload of 'em

One wonders why they didn't do CPR at the scene.

Then one realises he was probably already brown bread.

Err, and the evidence supporting the contention that he drowned because he was intoxicated is?

Seizure, pulmonary embolism, heart attack, stroke, asphyxia caused by temporary paralysis are of course all possibilities but in chickenhead world he of course died because " he falang, he die because he drink beer and mus be mow".
