What the f**k Martin your whole life is just a whirlwind of upgrades.

I agree with the parents on this one. It really should not be sold. And this is coming from someone that drinks spirits regularly and can handle rectified spirit without issues.

It's just not worth the risk

[Count Grantleyish]

Same alcohol content as our diesel drinks in singapore.

Diesel as in the what people put it in trucks and hipster golfs?

If all we have on record in Australia is one death from spirytus, then it's not doing too badly considering the poisoning and destruction that alcohol on the whole causes to lives and families.

I'm with Darwin on this. People kill themselves with beer and a steering wheel...we won't be seeing that get banned anytime soon, cause tax and the whole "few who spoil it for the many" argument.

[Odium]

I thankfully missed the DECA when Spirytus came out and it was bad times for everyone...

I've had strong stuff in the past, whenever my body says "NO!!!" it just throws it up (Absinthe etc). I wouldn't have thought that only a 2 shots would be enough to kill... make incredibly drunk and sick, yes... but that said she did already have other drinks in her stomach.

I think you'll find drink driving is actually illegal.

I meant beer, but good spot on my poor use of pragmatics

[Leroy Peterson]

I didn't think you could get higher than 70-80% off the shelf...

[Birds]

I wouldn't have thought that only a 2 shots would be enough to kill...

It isn't, which is why the drink is a scapegoat in a sensationalist story that should be about irresponsible drinking instead

No blame for the fk wits who kept handing her alcohol or the girl herself

[Kinkstaah]

It's irresponsible, sure, but I would wager that the people drinking it had no idea of the lethality of the drink.

If you can you know, accidentally kill yourself with it, then there needs to be some kind of control as to how it's procured. It's a lot harder to literally kill yourself with VB.

According to Nicole’s grieving family, the Thornlie teen only had a few mixed drinks over the course of the evening when she was offered the spirit by a male friend. A few hours later, she was dead.

Not sure if they're trying to imply that males are irresponsible and they are the cause for her death, or if he was planning on sexually assaulting her, because he was male, and that's what all males do...

f**king men.

[Birds]

Nothing accidental about ingesting copious amounts of alcohol

They teach kids about the dangers of alcohol in school still don't they?

It's about as accidental as pushing a kitchen knife into your stomach

The only thing worse would have been receiving the dangerous drink from a pod filter
