More Bali-bashing gutter journalism by Channel 7.
A click-bait article posted yesterday by Sunrise (no journalist or source listed) claims that a Russian in Bali is in hospital of “suspected methanol poisoning. “
Even though the hospital has clearly stated that he tested NEGATIVE to methanol poisoning.
A Russian expat who had been confirmed by friends to be drinking ALL day and had likely taken other “meds” that you can buy over the counter that are popular with the Russian community.
It is poor journalism like this that gives folks like Colin Ahearn wet dreams. The guy I’ve invited to industry drink tasting events, who not only declined but blocked me.
I’ve said this more than once and I’ll say it again.
There have been ZERO confirmed cases of methanol poisoning in Bali in the last 8 years. You are more likely to be struck by lightning.
I have consumed 100’s of different brands in Bali over the last 10 years.
I posted over 20 different videos on this group drinking cocktails in different random bars around Bali.
I still function normally and have good health. Why ?
Because I mostly drink in moderation (I’ll admit I’ve been plastered on occasion like many other Aussies),
I also do my best to stay fit and eat healthy.
Here are your best Bali drinking tips:
-Try to drink in moderation.
-don’t mix drinks with meds.
-watch your drink for spiking at bars (robbery is almost always the motive)
-don’t ride a scooter while intoxicated.
-get your drinks from reputable places such as WowBooze Bali.
Don’t let scare mongering from crap Australian media ruin your holiday plans.
Channel 7 and daily mail in particular are well known for fabricating “news” on days when there isn’t much to report.
Be safe and enjoy your holiday in Bali.
