Chloroform is found in off-licence vodka

[lynx2051]

Two off-licences have been warned after they were caught selling vodka laced with chloroform and cleaning fluid.

Trading standards officers found bottles of ‘Drop’ and ‘Red Star Russian’ vodka on sale at Zaf’s Foodstore and Broadoak Mini-Market, both on Broadoak Road in Ashton-Under-Lyne.

Experts from the Food Standards Agency warned that the vodka could cause serious health problems including dizziness, breathing difficulties and even blindness.

The Drop vodka contained chloroform and cleaning fluid and the Red Star Russian vodka contained 19 times the permissible level of methanol.

Management from both shops appeared before the liquor licensing speakers’ panel earlier this month. The panel was told that one bottle of vodka found at Zaf’s had been left by a man offering cheap vodka.

Nice to see that the legal market for alcohol remains completely free of corruption & their products are 100% pure & unadulterated!

Wow, not good. Chloroform metabolises in the body into reactive toxic chemicals like the ex-war gas phosgene (& things like carbon monoxide and hydrochloric acid!)

That's a lot of methanol too.

Some cooks have been known to piss in white lightning to make it look more like bourbon or whiskey. [Blacks] are notorious for cutting street drugs with anything resembling a white powder so they can rip u off. That's why you gotta limit yourself to good ole american pharmaceuticals, pure as the driven snow. lmao Take care, buddy

lol @ that edit.



This counterfeit alcohol news is worrying. If there's some in Manchester there may as well be some bad shit down in London. Haven't some off-licenses here been busted for smuggling heroin in between themselves? And also if they accept alcohol from random people offering to sell it for cheap, then shit.
