Brazil\u2019s Health Ministry<\/a> is warning people to avoid cocktails after tainted liquor killed at least one person, blinded others and fueled a nationwide panic.<\/p>\n

From chic S\u00e3o Paulo bars to Rio de Janeiro\u2019s beaches, Brazilians are on edge after a wave of suspected poisonings from methanol-contaminated liquor<\/a> left drinkers dead, blind or in comas.<\/p>\n

Officials have confirmed one death from methanol poisoning. The Health Ministry says 127 suspected cases have been reported nationwide with 11 confirmed and 116 under review across at least five states and the capital, Bras\u00edlia.<\/p>\n

Local media said victims included patrons at upscale bars and restaurants<\/a>. Some lost their sight or fell into comas after drinking famous Brazilian caipirinhas, vodka tonics and other clear cocktails.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m definitely not going out to drink this weekend. Things are worrying,” said Rafael Martinez, a 30-year-old architect in S\u00e3o Paulo. “For now, I\u2019d rather stick to soda<\/a> or, at most, beer, which they said is harder to tamper with.”<\/p>\n

Health Minister Alexandre Padilha urged<\/a> Brazilians to “steer clear of colorless spirits” and announced new emergency measures, including the purchase of 2,500 doses of fomepizole, an antidote for methanol poisoning, and 12,000 ampoules of medical-grade ethanol. Shipments began Saturday to five states as the government races to prevent more deaths.<\/p>\n

According to the ministry, Brazil has recorded 127 suspected cases, with 11 confirmed and 12 deaths still under investigation. Most are in S\u00e3o Paulo, though cases have surfaced as far as Pernambuco and Mato Grosso do Sul. Padilha said the new stockpile would ensure “no patient goes without treatment” and that both antidotes can be administered even before lab confirmation.<\/p>\n

Federal police are investigating a potential link to organized crime groups accused of distributing counterfeit liquor.<\/p>\n

Methanol is an industrial chemical that can cause nerve and liver damage and is sometimes found in fake or poorly distilled alcohol.<\/p>\n

Restaurant owners are suspending liquor sales to reassure nervous customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Last night no one bought drinks \u2026 even I don\u2019t want to drink,” said Nikolaos Loukopoulos, who runs a Greek restaurant in S\u00e3o Paulo. “With a beer, we\u2019re fine in this heat. Why risk it?”<\/p>\n

Tourist hot spot Rio de Janeiro has not recorded any confirmed cases, but beach kiosks and restaurants have posted warnings on social media<\/a> to calm visitors.<\/p>\n

Thais Flores, a 28-year-old dental surgeon visiting Rio from S\u00e3o Paulo, said she reluctantly ordered a Corona at a beach kiosk.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t really like beer, but because of the latest news, it\u2019s been my drink of choice.”<\/p>\n

Her friend, Raquel Marques, 29, said she risked drinking a vodka caipirinha anyway.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m scared, but we took a chance,” she said. “The guy said he bought it at the market.”<\/p>\n

The scare comes as Brazil prepares for its peak tourism season, raising fears of an economic hit to its beaches and nightlife industry.<\/p>\n
