49 Die In Kenya......
A local woman was selling a new drink to local bar owners called "change'aa" with an extra kick. She mixed methanol in the drink and as a result 49 have died and over a hundred more injured.

Must have been a hell of a party...........JJ

It simply amazes me what idiots will put down their throats, smoke, or shoot in their vains, and what some people will sell to make money!

Many still in Hospital after the 'party!!!'

Changaa is their 'regular' illegal brew that is easily obtained...the methanol was the new 'special' ingredient.

Not the first time, about 12 died last month!!!

Methanol? CH3OH


Don't forget that during the prohibition in the States, Methanol (you know speakeasy?) killed and made thousands of people blind. In France it made the Absinthe (from the wormwood) illegal, people getting either mad or blind.

As I studyed with great attention what Ray was saying on the post "A hundredpounder shot in Zim", I won't make any commentary about the lack of education, which is the rule in most Africa. I insist, LACK OF EDUCATION and perhaps foolish greed.
I bet, NitroX wouldn't use exactly the same words. Big Grin. The trouble is in Europe we are politically correct.
