A 44-year-old woman drank herself to death by consuming 60 bottles of Soju, a popular South Korean liquor, nonstop for ten days with her male drinking partner after abandoning treatment at an alcohol clinic.

Police said the woman was found dead at a motel in Jeongseon, a remote county some 150 kilometers (93 miles) east of Seoul, on Wednesday after an emergency call was made by the mother of her drinking partner.

The mother called police after hearing from his son over phone that "A person I've been drinking with appears to be dead". Officers discovered about 60 bottles of Soju scattered in the motel room. The man who survived alone told investigators, "We had promised to drink to death".

Police said the two alcoholics met each other at an alcohol rehabilitation center and came to Jeongseon on March 19. The cause of her death seems apparent, but a forensic team would conduct an autopsy.
