According to Australian media, including NewsCom, two women in their teens from Melbourne collapsed with severe pain after drinking a cocktail while staying at a hostel near the Thai-Laos border on the 15th (local time).
One was taken to a large hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, due to his serious condition, but it is said to be in a serious situation.
According to a police investigation, methanol was detected in the cocktails they drank.
Methanol is a colorless, combustible industrial liquid that smells like alcohol similar to ethanol and is sometimes used to make 'fake alcohol'.
According to the Methanol Institute in Australia, drinking only 25 to 90 ml of methanol can be fatal.
Drinking alcohol or beverages containing methanol can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, and can lead to temporary or permanent blindness and loss of life.
Meanwhile, the victims graduated from the same high school last year and were backpacking around Southeast Asia.
