SANGRAMPUR, India (AP) — Bootleg liquor containing toxic methanol killed 143 people and sickened dozens more who drank the cheap, illicit brew bought at small shops in eastern India, officials said Thursday. Police arrested 10 suspected bootleggers.
Emergency medical teams rushed to the village outside Kolkata, and thousands of relatives, many of them wailing in grief, gathered outside the packed hospital. Inside, dead bodies lay on the floor covered in quilts, while the ill waited on staircases to be treated. Groups of men sat in the halls with saline drips running into their arms.

F'ing hell...doesn't methanol taste differently? I guess not. That's a drag...

I wouldn't trust bootleg liquor here unless I knew exactly who made it personally. Forget India. .

Yep, if I ever visit India I'll try to go without food for however long I'm there. I might break down and drink bottled water but even that I would avoid. Conley's stomach is not cut out for such adventures.

Most of India is rather miserable. There is a lot of suffering there and truthfully they faired better under British rule.

That's probably true of other British colonies as well.
