[Comment:
Not only the bad seller is responsible. So is the
irresponsible consumer. In the marginal areas of many cities
the so-called "Third World" sold prepared ( "drinks
ready ") based on alcohol made unfit for consumption
human, which are very low cost compared to
products sold in liquor stores and / or establishments
specialized. These canteens or vending sites usually
not licensed and are the place of choice for people
low resources can consume alcoholic beverages. To this,
add the apathy of the authorities in order to inspect or
these locations, and we have the complete ingredients of this
tragic development that has already killed eight people.
Then we have a problem in which responsibility is
shared. It is therefore time that the authorities carry out their role with
seriousness, and that educational campaigns will make consumers
alcoholic beverages, warning of the risk they run when buying
products of dubious origin. Moderator Jorge Gonzalez]
