The incident unfolded on a night when Brown decided to challenge Jokic to a drinking contest. What’s their poison? Serbian whiskey. Brown, however, underestimated Jokic’s capacity, leading to a night he would never forget.
As they continued taking shots of Serbian whiskey throughout the night, it became evident that Jokic possessed an uncanny ability to hold his liquor despite his larger physique. Conversely, Brown found himself struggling after just a few rounds. He recounted feeling “finished” and realized too late that trying to keep up with someone who grew up accustomed to strong spirits was no easy task.
