Abstract

Four adult males died within 18.5 hours due to effect of local liquor consumption in a hilly district of Gandaki province of Nepal. Methanol toxicity due to illicitly produced alcohol consumption should be managed with adequate supportive care and administration of specific antidotes such as ethanol or fomepizole.
