Tourists discard alcohol following a series of fatal poisonings in Sochi, Russia
In the tourist city of Sochi, a concerning trend has emerged as tourists discard their home-bought alcohol due to fears linked to methyl alcohol (methanol) poisoning. This phenomenon stems from health and safety concerns, as methanol is a toxic alcohol that can cause severe poisoning when consumed.
Reports suggest that some tourists may have brought alcohol purchased elsewhere, which, through suspicion or confirmed cases, is feared to contain methanol or sub-standard ingredients. This precautionary measure by tourists reflects attempts to avoid accidental methanol ingestion that has caused poisoning cases nearby or recently.
The local chacha, a popular alcoholic beverage in Sochi, has been identified as the source of the fatal poisoning cases. Methyl alcohol has been detected in the chacha, providing an explanation for the poisoning incidents. The oils formed during the homemade alcohol production process may have contributed to the presence of methyl alcohol in the chacha.
The poisoning cases have become a prominent issue in Sochi, causing growing fear among people. Several people, including tourists and locals, have died from local chacha poisoning. One video shows someone throwing away several liters of local wine near trash bins, and social media is filled with photos and videos of tourists disposing of unlicensed alcohol.
The mass disposal of alcohol is causing bottles of questionable drink to not be picked up by the homeless. Even homeless people are afraid to drink the disposed alcohol, as the presence of methyl alcohol in the chacha highlights the risks associated with homemade alcohol production.
The discovery of methyl alcohol in the chacha serves as a warning about the dangers of consuming homemade alcohol. It is a reminder of the importance of proper alcohol production and regulation, and the need for transparency in the alcohol industry.
The poisoning cases in Sochi underscore the need for vigilance and caution when consuming alcohol, especially homemade or unverified supplies. Tourists are urged to exercise caution and only consume alcohol from reputable sources to avoid any potential health risks.
