Then you deserve all you get love. point:
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 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.
Given what was in the cocktail I'm not bleedin' surprised there was a chemical reaction. eeek:

Absinthe ~ very dodgy stuff indeed but it sounds to me as if someone had been mixing some "Wood Alcohol" into their bottles of Homebrew. whistle:

I will admit I've had homebrew absinthe when I was a kid, not realising what it was a the time. made for an 'interesting shcool trip'. But even so there is no way in hell I would have paid for a shot of that concoction. noooo:

Common slapper drinks self to death. Seems to be a good way to cleanse the gene pool.

PMT I suspect rubschin:

Presumably once she had been treated, her brain returned to its normal, walnut, size?

In MIddleseborough she is seen as a genius
