“They sell it in the stores, and you can buy it and take it out.” Alcohol Beer Mexico Mexicans
Scores of Mexicans are dying from drinking adulterated liquor, a consequence of the shortage of mainstream alcoholic beverages during the coronavirus pandemic, authorities say.
Beer stocks were depleted within a month, and in some areas the prices of what was left doubled, according to industry sources. “They sell it in the stores, and you can buy it and take it out. My father began trembling and feeling weak. He told us he felt bad, and we took him to the hospital,” Hernandez told AFP.Deaths have also been recorded in the central state of Morelos, and Yucatan and Veracruz in the east.
“We presume that, as a result of this shortage and demand being very high, some people are offering or trying to sell methanol instead of ethyl alcohol,” said Denis de Santiago, head of Sanitary Risks in Jalisco.The country’s largest beer producers, Grupo Modelo — which makes the popular Corona beer — and Heineken, which makes Sol, halted production in early April.
– ‘Who would have thought?’ -In Yucatan, where 38 people have died so far, victims unknowingly drank methanol in their usual “pajaretes” — a common cocktail that includes milk, coffee, vanilla and brand-name sugarcane alcohol.
