"Patel, you gotta quit drinkin' that stuff! You're gettin' really fuzzy around the edges!" |
LUCKNOW: Twenty-five people died and six lost their eyesight after drinking home-brewed liquor in northern India in the past three days, a senior police officer said on Wednesday. Thirty-two people were in hospital and the death toll could rise after villagers from Unnao district in Uttar Pradesh state drank a toxic mix of methyl alcohol and tannery waste.
