A young woman was found dead by friends in the bathroom of the Airbnb apartment they were renting out for a hen do.
Kay Reed, 29, was discovered at 1.30am by pal Louise Johnson at the property in Liverpool city centre.
She had days earlier taken a minibus to Merseyside from Redcar, North Yorkshire, with a group of other women as they celebrated a friend's upcoming wedding.
The women spent the day celebrating and playing crazy golf before returning to their apartments, the LiverpoolEcho reports.
Kay began to complain she was feeling sick and went to bed but was later found before the emergency services were call.
She could not be saved despite the medical attention, the inquest into her death on May 1 was told on Monday.
The court was told Kay, a call centre operative who lived in Redcar, had been out drinking with her friends in Liverpool city centre on the night of April 29.
The following day, the group went to a Wetherspoons at 10.30am, then played crazy golf at Junkyard Golf Club and ate at Five Guys before returning to Dale Street to get ready for a night out. They spent the evening at the Alma De Cuba bar on Seel Street and returned to the apartments at 12.30am.
Kay was found dead one hour later. Her fellow "hens" paid tribute to the "gorgeous", "bubbly" 29-year-old, who earned a masters degree from Birmingham City University in 2016.
Handing down a conclusion of an alcohol-related death, coroner Anita Bhardwaj said: "It's more likely than not the alcohol consumed has rendered Kay unconscious. Kay has vomited and inhaled gastric acid into her upper airway, resulting in her death.
"It's something that a lot of people do, going out drinking, it's not something that is unusual and she was clearly very unfortunate as to the results of what happened. I think this just demonstrates how dangerous alcohol can be."
Heartbroken friends set up a web page in her memory and paid tribute to her.
Posting on the page, Louise said: "Enjoy the heavens my perfect Kay. I wish you could be here to see just how loved you are. Make sure you have a pint waiting for me beautiful. I love you more than words could ever say, and actions could ever show. You are the light in my world and I will keep you with me forever."
Bride Lauren Kenny said: "Keep smiling and singing gorgeous girl! Until we meet again you will always hold a special place in my heart."
Another friend Gemma wrote: "Kay, you had the ability to instantly put people at ease. From the moment we met, your positive bubbly personality just radiated and it was an absolute pleasure being around you. I cannot believe how our weekend with so many amazing memories ended the way it did and I’m just so sorry. I am struggling to process what happened and life just seems so unfair but I know you will be reunited with your family in heaven."
