More sad news today: Andrew Koppel, Former ABC News Nightlight Host Ted Koppel's son, died reportedly after a day of drinking. The New York Post reports that Andrew Koppel, 40, of Rockaway Park, Queens, passed away from a day-long drinking binge. The question is just how much did Andrew Koppel drink?Worked for City of New YorkAndrew H. Koppel was a lawyer with the New York Housting Authority and had his own general practice legal business based in Woodbridge, NJ. Andrew Koppel's website reports "The Law Firm of Andrew H. Koppel, Esq., is dedicated to providing quality legal services at affordable rates. We are centrally located in Woodbridge, NJ and able to accomodate clients throughout the State."Koppel was on FacebookAndrew H. Koppel also had a Facebook page where the New York lawyer has a photo of himself in crisp shirt and tie with a Budweiser in hand.This blogger double-checked to make sure this was the Andrew Koppel by including his middle initial "H" in a Google search. That this is the person is confirmed by several news sources, eBebo one of them.Koppel was found "unconscious and not breathing in a bedroom" at 180th Street at Audubon Avenue. Koppel had been out with Russell Wimberly, a 32-year-old waiter he met at a bar in Hell's Kitchen just 12-hour before. That's when they allegedly went on what would become for Koppel a fatal drinking binge.Wimberly said they went hoping from bar to bar. He said Koppel didn't eat; just drank straight whiskey and beer. From personal experience, three glasses of whiskey is too much for this blogger, unless over three hours and with a good steak dinner and three glasses of water. Just reading the accounts of this story, Koppel had a lot more drink than that over a smaller period of time, and no steak dinner.Ted Koppel loses his only son who was also father to a baby boy. Andrew Koppel has an older sister Andrea and a younger sister Tara.
