This is another yes-or-no riddle.

A man was in a diner, and he ordererd Albatraz soup.

After 2 or 3 sips, he quietly walked out the door and hanged himself.

Why?

Right then, first of all, break the story down into it's composite parts.
We're told he ordered some sort of soup The type of soup doesn't really matter.
We're told he had a few sips but doesn't say they were "sips" of the soup.
It says there is a complicated back story.
My guess at the complicated story would be something along the lines of he'd had a bet with someone and he was an ex alchoholic.
The bet would say if you can keep off the alchohol for a period I will give you an enormous sum of money.
If not you will have to kill yourself.
While he's waiting for his soup he can't resist ordering a gin and tonic.
He "takes a few sips" unaware that the other person is sitting at another table in disguise and sees what he does so he has to kill himself.
First question then, are the "sips"of soup?

yes, sips of soup.
try to figure out the backstory. 3 people involved 1 of them dies in the backstory. The other man isnt at that soup place, where he is doesn't matter., no bets, alcohol, or any of that stuff either.

The one that dies ... is it his brother-in-law?

Start again then!!
Is the profession of any of the men relevant?
Are all 3 of them men in the true sense of the word i.e actual human beings (not chess menfor example.

Yes, actual human beins.
They are men, but gender is irrelevant.
Job is irrelevant, so lets just say they were all shareholders.

Does the man who hangs himself do so because of financial ruin?
Does it matter how he kills himself?

Do the 3 gender irrelevant men work on the same poultry farm?

Wolfgang59, the job is irrelevant. Im saying that they were shareholders to give it more of a storyline. how he killed himself doesnt matter, but im saying that he hanged himself.

Three shareholders. Did they share ownership of a company or a business enterprise?
