[News] Teenagers head swells to size of football

[somabc]

BBC NEWS | England | Tees | Cocktail puts woman in hospital

A teenager from Teesside has vowed never to drink again after a holiday cocktail caused her head to swell to the size of a football.

Corinne Coyle reacted to the 10 euro mixture of Baileys, chilli, tequila, absinthe, ouzo, vodka, cider and gin.

The 19-year-old spent two days in a hospital in the Greek resort of Malia.

Since returning home she has been treated at hospital in Middlesbrough where doctors said they did not know if her face would return to normal.

Doctors in Greece said the swelling was caused by (her own stupidity?) a chemical reaction and they had seen a similar incident within the past couple of weeks.

She was allowed to fly home on Tuesday and has spent the last two days being examined at the James Cook University Hospital and by her GP. Doctors are still waiting for the results.

She has vowed never to touch alcohol again.

the best bit is the other news sites linked on the right hand side of the bbc page, how it came up with the London Review of Books article on Turkish Nationalism / Eastern Europe AND the 'Movies of the week' for Pittsburgh I will never know?

Yeah everyone knows you need diet coke as a mixer

Surely Baileys, chilli, tequila, absinthe, ouzo, vodka, cider and gin together would taste absolutely disgusting?

Absinthe alone is lethal stuff!

[tech_guy]

Bet it tasted like brake fluid. Just shows how stupid some chavs can be.

I (or more, Nelson) has only one thing to say.
