I am off to Bali in 3 weeks with 4 young adults in tow who love their cocktails. There are more reports in today's paper about teens being blinded and suffering other effects from methanol poisoning. I understand that even locals suffer from bad batches of Arak but now it seems methanol is being added to cheap cocktails to increase the alcohol content. This scares me silly! Does anyone know which bars are doing this? Are we safer to drink our duty free in the hotel and stick to beer when the girls go out at night? How can I protect my kids from this happening to them?
