I'm British, Binge drinking is our national sport. I was nearly in the Olympic team but failed as I didn't complete the 'big greasy food after a belly full of drink' part of the event.

I don't think I can add anything more to what Gingerplum said that its more likely the effects rather than the booze killing people.

There were a few deaths a good number of years ago in the tourist places in the Mediterranean resorts where unscrupulous bar owners were putting methanol in drinks as it was cheaper than alcohol to get and they thought it was the same thing, but cheaper.

Yes, cases like that have been reported in the D.R.
