    Don't drink anything in a country, that has power lines that look like that.

    I'm not sure what this expert is an expert of. Methanol is a byproduct of distilling ethanol. This is cheaply (and incorrectly) homemade alcohol and isn't a case of methanol being added to drinks. When travelling, buy brand-name drinks and you should be fine. Steer away from any local homemade stuff.

    An American that was drinking with them woke up in hospital in Australia .
    He asked the nurse " Did they bring me here to die ? " she said " No they brought you here yes-to-die. "

    Backpackers and partying are synonymous. Don't they have anything better to do than drinking and passing out???

      Wow you are stupid! It only takes one or two tainted drinks to be fatal. - This has nothing to do with people drinking too much...

    If you drink any big brands like bud light or something and you wake up the next day with the back of your head throbbing down your neck then you drank some bootleg tainted beer.

      From the accident site in Laos to hospitals in Thailand took 11-12 hours or day or week due to the distance from the border and the terrible road conditions especially raining in Laos. Victims have no chance of surviving a coma according to that criteria.

    00:44 I do love your reporting but I didn't think we'd need "a leading expert" to tell us that drinking methanol harms and kills. I'd have believed you! straight up! But this guy wowed me. I learned a lot. And who would have thought regular ethanol alcohol to be a great antidote for anything except maybe in an old Bonanza episode. I used to love that ~ both the show and its primary use of a-swig-for-a-bullet antidotal therapy.
