Fiji tourists with possible alcohol poisoning are stable

“We are reassured that their condition was stable this morning and we hope that their condition continues to improve,” said the ministries of health and tourism of Fiji, located east of Australia. A spokesperson for the hotel in Fiji where the tourists fell ill said an investigation was underway and the hotel was awaiting test results from health authorities.

Six tourists recently died in the Southeast Asian country of Laos after drinking toxic alcohol. The victims were tourists from Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States and Denmark. Other tourists, including a Dutchman, had to go to the hospital after drinking free shots. Presumably, poisonous methanol was added to produce alcohol more cheaply.
