JJ_Miller49 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

MoBrarMany 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!!!

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.

I bet, NitroX wouldn't use exactly the same words.
