  • Summary

  • On the weekend, four Australians were rushed to hospital in Fiji with suspected alcohol poisoning, after drinking cocktails at a resort.

    This follows the mass drink poisoning in Laos last month, which claimed the lives of six tourists, including Australian teenagers Bianca Jones and Holly Bowles.

    What’s happening to people’s drinks overseas? And is it all poisoning from methanol, like what happened in Laos?

    Today, breaking news reporter Jessica McSweeney and Dr David Ranson, a former forensic pathologist, on the latest poisonings.
