The London Beer Flood of 1814

London Beer Flood - Wikipedia

More than 323,000 imperial gallons (1,470 m3) of beer burst out of the Meux and Company Brewery on Tottenham Court Road, and gushed into the streets. The wave of beer destroyed two homes and crumbled the wall of the Tavistock Arms Pub, trapping the barmaid under the rubble.

The wave left nine people dead: one from alcohol poisoning and eight due to drowning.

Quite possibly the best way to die.
