This story is very unfortunate, but come on, couldn't tell homebrew from atifreeze? Yeah right. More like she ran out of homebrew and was desperate.

Moral of the story, never store toxic liquids in former food containers. There was an industrial accident in So. Calif, a newly hire worker died when he drank some liquid in a coffee pot in a metal plating, it turned out to be a super toxic liquid they used in metal plating. No body bothered or thought to tell him that stuff was cyanide.

Oh man, that sucks.  Why would they store something like that in a coffee pot of all things? You'd think they'd at least use something with a sealable lid.

Most of the villages are "dry" up here and with good reason, homebrew is popular up here as well as any other liquid with ethanol in it. some villages won't sell lysol, pinesol or any mouthwash. it also makes a good case for marking your containers as to their contents. had a case up here where a bunch of kids found a 55 gallon drum marked "alcohol" unfortunately it was methanol which killed several and blinded a couple.

How in the hell do you mistake antifreeze for anything other than antifreeze?

If I'm not mistaken, I think there are only one or two molecules difference between glycol and alcohol. Cooking 'shine should not be done by ammeters. It could end up as poison very easily. It can cause blindness and organ failure, usually the kidneys. I've posted dogs that have gotten into antifreeze. Their kidneys are as hard as a gizzard.
People who have drank "bad shine" ,and lived, have a name in the South. The condition is easily identified by a crippled type gait. I think it's called "Jake Leg" or something like that. |

how bad does your homebrew have to be that you can't tell it from antifreeze?

It's the taste. Antifreeze is SO sweet it should be a crime. I just keep wanting more, and more and more and. . . .

Oh, I believe the "story" was reported that way, but I really doubt the victim didn't know she was drinking antifreeze. Sounds like the story was made up to save face. |

They were both probably already so shit-faced they neither knew, nor cared what was in the bottle. I've seen a guy take a big ol' swig out of a beer bottle half full of tobacco spit and never knew the difference, he was so wasted. |

You know why animals drink antifreeze? Because it's fucking good. That just goes to show you that the best things in life will kill you.

Last year a man died when he got his head stuck up a horses ass. People do stupid things and it kills them... 49% of all people are below average. Av. |

No, stuff like that happens from time to time. One time a big barrel of alcohol washed up on shore and the locals decided to throw a big party. Too bad it was methanol. The ones who didn't die went blind. |

As stated before antifreeze is very sweet. Yes, I have accidentally ingested a very small amount.
One of the clinical treatments for ethylene glycol ingestion is... IV Ethanol. Yep, a booze IV. |

I've read the same thing about Methanol (wood alcohol) poisoning, too. Apparently, humans metabolize ethanol better than other similar (poisonous) chemicals. So, as long as there's an ample supply of booze present, the other stuff doesn't get absorbed nearly as fast. |

Its called "3 sheets to the wind" already. Thats why in the old times, the host would serve the good wine early and then bring out the not so good wine later when the guest would not notice that the quality of the wine had dropped off. |

We make gold-plate flexible circuit boards. Gold is dissolved (I have NO idea how!) in a cyanide solution. Looks nasty too! |

The villages that have these ordinances have voted on them locally and every now and then they try to go "wet" again but it's usually voted down, so there is lot's of bootlegging to the villages which can be a felony if your caught. i agree that a person should be able to drink whatever, whereever they want but some really strange things happen in these villages when you add alcohol |

I wonder if my medical director will let us keep beer on the box with that as an excuse? |
