An Australian teenager has died after drinking tainted alcohol in Laos in what Australia’s prime minister on Thursday called every parent’s nightmare. An American and two Danish tourists also died, officials said, following reports that several people had been sickened in a Laotian town popular with backpackers.

    a speck of evidence for homemade laotian whiskey being popular?

    there are hundreds of homemade bottles at every market.

    each market seller or restaurant that has whiskey offers their own homemade laotian whiskey as well.

    I’m not from Laos, but I lived there for a while.

      A speck of evidence for your hypothesis, since it’s pretty specific. But given you’ve lived there for a while, I’d say you know what you’re talking about.

      Was just curious, as some people here just like to make up shit.
