Vodka kills 11 - Injures 20
When Lounge Lizards belly up to the bar for a cocktail one usually knows what to expect… hopefully a refreshing libation… but for party revelers in Mongolia, they got more than they bargained for.
The BBC is reporting “At least 11 people have died and more than 20 have been hospitalised after drinking vodka containing industrial alcohol in Mongolia.” Officials are saying the vodka contained methanol spirits used as a cleaning agent.
Yikes… how would you know until it’s too late?
