Isaac Newton’s second cousin John Newton apparently died “by a tobacco-pipe breaking in his throat, in the act of smoaking, from a fall in the street, occasioned by ebriety.” (From Fara –which I don’t recommend, but it has its moments– pg 203.)

Incidentally, how odd that “ebriety” and “inebriety” mean almost the same thing, if a five-minute googling is to be trusted.
