I mean, I’ll never drink liquor in a developing nation because of this and many similar cases in other countries. You only get methanol from distilling spirits, so I’ll stick to wine and beer when overseas. It’s horrible that it has to be this way, but it’s the safest route.

It’s a big deal because it’s a bunch of white people who died.
