A young backpacker died recently after drinking a large amount of a locally brewed whisky. The alcohol may have been mixed with methanol, which is highly toxic. There is a history of many cases of methanol-laced alcohol proving fatal to tourists – In Bali in 2009, 25 people died after drinking palm wine which had been mixed with methanol.
