Laos bartenders under fire over free shots despite poisoning saga

Bartenders in Laos have been reportedly handing out free shots to patrons despite a mass methanol poisoning at a hostel bar. A British traveller told the Herald Sun she cancelled her stay at the Nana Backpacker Hostel after news a dozen people had been poisoned, including the tragic death of two Australian women Holly Bowles and Bianca Jones. The British traveller claims staff in the town swept the incident under the rug and Laos authorities have since banned the sale and consumption of Tiger Vodka and Tiger Whisky.
