Mainstream news are so out of touch with the public sentiment it's honestly disgusting and seriously angers me after seeing it progressively worsen over the last 4 years
In my time at Vietnam, seen ppl had to flush the alcohol down to the toilet when the police came. And yes the drinks made me really sick next day. Another story from my friend, when he went to Vietnam two months ago, he got a bottle of vodka from the local shop. When he came back to his Airbnb and put the bottle of vodka in the freezer, it turned into ice!!!! Be careful going to those countries guys, I personally won’t go there again!
Having spent 15 years in Southeast Asia, I’ve observed that young people often travel with the same level of trust in local establishments as they would back home. However, in the poorer areas of Southeast Asia, survival is largely in your own hands, and unfortunately, many people may not be concerned with what happens to you if there’s an opportunity for them to make a quick profit. The harsh reality is that this will never stop happening, and the true perpetrators will likely never be held accountable. So sad to hear about this.

@@pauliepaul3697"English women are naive"? Well firstly, these two girls were Australian but that's still such a judgmental thing to say. Not all English women are naive, women are not all the same so please stop generalising, it just comes across as rude.
It’s staggering to me how pathetic the extra profit must be given the cost of cheap spirits is already pretty low. To do some thing so careless and dangerous for so little is beyond belief
The most devastating thing about spreading nightmare is - you rarely recover from methanol poisoning with as little as 10mls of it in your drink/cocktail.
Someone has to be accountable for this ! This is a mass poisoning of people who just wanted Fun and adventure ! Rest in peace 2 Beautiful Australian girls ! ❤ No doubt your Best friend was waiting for you on the otherside ! ❤
@smashhimmungo5798 You will never hear if it happened to a local wedding party in Laos because it won't be reported on. Would you feel the same if it was 2 ugly Aussie girls or the locals that died? If alcohol is people's idea of "fun & adventure" they could save a lot of money by just staying home & drinking. How many young people remember even half their "adventure"?
@Marigold-m2 Cheap holiday turned out to be very costly. Holidays in Australia are expensive, alcohol in Australia is expensive, especially due to massive taxes. But what price safety?
2 had been died before these two girls … why the authorities did not dig deeper investigating & stop selling that poisonous drink to tourists…now the victims are piling up 😢
June 56 people died in Indian village Methanol poisoning July 42 people died in another indian village Methanol poisoning Methanol poisoning is common in developing countries
Very sad... There's a possible way to check your alcohol by lighting it on a spoon. If it burns pure blue don't drink it (methanol), it's not a fail safe but it's worth trying when you are in a foreign country. Ethanol burns blue and yellow. Kids are going to drink regardless so if they can be taught what to look for it might help save a life.
my kids are never going to these places. i’m devastated for the families, I’m glad Laos is trying to do something about it, i hope they catch who did this.
I wouldn't put faith in the justice system over there.there all as crook as each other.and I'm with u try Ur hardest to stop Ur kids from going. there very unsafe places and don't care about human life
we're warned not to drink the tap water in these places but not warned about spiked cocktails? This is not a new thing.....knew about methanol in drinks decades ago.
Deepest Condolences to those whose loveones have passed and praying for full recovery for those who are still fighting for their lives with this tragic event😢😢😢
@@gavanwhatever8196 good one but still! I know what I am talking about because I've listened to doctors talking about the health effects long term(doctors like theliverdoc)~
I'm from Thailand, even though traveling SEA seems to be a dangerous destination but I don't want you to stereotype all every countries in SEA is not safe! I think it's just depending on local authorities how much they pay attention to those illegal things like Illicit liquor. Without intense of the law and policy can bring this tragedy happed. Condolences to all victims. rest in peace.
They distill it and accidentally make methanol. That's what can happen with moonshine. And then it gets added to other drinks. So very sad for these young people and their families😢
@@Ice_fnt no they don't. But they DO swap out the safe but more expensive branded bottles for the cheap stuff the locals make in their backyard to boost profit margins. Methanol is a by product of distillation and this local stuff was obviously tainted. The methanol was an accident but swapping it for what they should have been using to save likely less than 10 dollars a bottle is 100% intentional
I am heart broken. I'm a frequent traveler to Thailand and i seen this happening again again. this is a very common practice to mix alcohol with local liquor and the out come is always bad. but they do it right Infront of your eyes. i was done for three times and all three times luckily i was with friends. I don't know much about Laos but if you are traveling to Thailand specially Pattaya please be careful when you drink at tree town and walking street. everywhere else is very safe but these two places in Pattaya seems to trick people more often .

May you beautiful girls Rest in Peace. My heart goes out to all the family😢❤I'm so sorry this ever happened, and i truly hope they find someone accountable for this tragedy.
how tragic and devastating... the world is becoming unsafe and evil ..... you have to think twice before doing anything, especially going out and overseas
I've been to Vang Vieng where these girls are. It's a really good time and I would definitely recommend going. However just stick to beers or ciders or anything from a bottle. Don't drink spirits unless it's a bottle you bought yourself from the supermarket. You never know if the bar is using locally made tainted spirits in your cocktail to save a few cents.
@@Teraplexor1yes Nana backpackers. I stayed there not too long ago. They give out free shots from 7pm to 9pm if I remember correctly. No limits on the shots either. You just walk up to the bar and ask for it. Apparently these girls had a few at the hostel before going out to the bar. So I guess the question is if they got poisoned at the hostel or later on in the night
That’s absolutely terrible. I am so sorry for their families, this is the nightmare that so many people dread when it comes to their family members. The Laotian government needs to step up and actually conduct a proper investigation and make some arrests. I’ve had enough of people getting away with this stuff in these places. It happens in so many of these southeast Asian countries.
My heart truly goes out to all the people concerned AND their Families, I am truly sorry for ALL The Pain the families and Friend's now have to live through GOD BLESS 🙏
Stop putting everything back on the government..they were not the ones who went there..they weren’t the ones selling the drinks…they weren’t the ones who own the backpacker hostel…it’s often people like you who are the ones lining up at Centrelink expecting the government to give more handouts because you’re too lazy to get off your own butt.
@@Logic.facts. They families have consular assistance all along and will now help with repatriation. The Australian government has of course made representation to the Laos government who will come down hard on these bars.
the islamic republic of iran do this in iran for years, metanol in drinks to put fear in those who want to drink alcholic drinks against relegious laws!
They make this rubbish alochol in back yards. It needs to be done professionally or mistakes can occur. Thousands of Lao locals die every year from this. World wide the numbers would be shocking to many but no one hears nor cares until it is young tourists
Drinking bootleg (home-made) alcohol is idiotic. Methanol distils before ethanol and is ever-present in bootleg drinks. It will get you sooner or later.
To all travelling overseas into south-east destination. Beware of the rice wine. Methanol is a very popular cheap brew not properly formulated for proper consumption. If anything that can be said.
Clearly there are laws against poisoning people, against manslaughter, against improper service of alcohol by cutting real drinks with moonshine full of methanol.
We don’t need to ask how the dad is doing - we all know. Show some respect rather than digging up unnecessarily. Rest in Peace, young soul.
What would you expect from this gutter show
Totally agree. Used your imagination - it's endless emotional pain, grief, horror, brokenness. What a thoughtless thing to ask.

@paulweston285 yes I know it was in Laos, but a lot of people are thinking it is in Thailand...my daughter-in-law inlaw is Thai
Thailand is famous for the methanol in drinks, we were warned not to drink the buckets at the full moon parties
Such a thing wouldn't happen in Australia, even with no police. You just wouldn't poison someone like that.
So....... who's responsible?
Life is not all selfies, hugs, view counts & equal rights no that is not reality

They add it to the drinks to cut costs
