This doesn't really mention anything about drinking although my bet is they had more than one barcardi breezer in their system.
(1 March 2000, New Zealand) Baldwin Street in Dunedin is listed as the steepest in the world in The Guinness Book of World Records, and it was at the top of this 38-degree incline that Ana and her friend hatched a plan for a midnight downhill slide. The two university students dragged a two-wheeled rubbish bin up the street, climbed in, shoved off, and down they went in their makeshift sleigh.
As they hurtled pell-mell down Baldwin Street in the wee hours of the morning, residents described being awakened by "a hell of a racket" which went on for some time before ending with a sickening crash. Their 50-meter dash ended precipitously when the rubbish bin slammed into a legally parked trailer. Ana, 19, was killed instantly, and her co-pilot suffered serious head injuries, though one wonders how they noticed.
The feat did not make it into the Guinness Book of World Records, as the top speed of the rubbish bin is unknown.

I have driven a van up and down that street back in 1993 and it is as scary as F^&k.....It is amazingly steep and there are houses on both sides of the road, I am not surprized that the both girls did not die.
Sad but Darwinian fer sure.
