No, I can't, I'm afraid. Do you not see that getting drunk and then deliberately playing with people's lives is an entirely different kettle of fish to 'shit happening'?
If the claim were that, say, a rich feudal lord who gets drunk and has a similar bet with his rich feudal lord friend -- and then sends out his servant to maim one of his serfs, and hands the maimed serf over to the other lord who, to win the bet, finds a place for him in his retinue -- would that be about 'shit happens'? Or would it be a story about cruelty, callously inflicted simply because those above have the power to do so?
