Seorang pria 19-tahun Perth sedang berjuang untuk hidupnya di rumah sakit tadi malam dengan keracunan metanol diduga dari minuman di pulau Indonesia dari Lombok, dekat Bali.
Liam Davies, dari Marmion, diterbangkan dari Indonesia, di mana ia telah berlibur untuk merayakan malam tahun baru dengan teman dan ayah teman, dan dianggap telah tiba di Rumah Sakit Sir Charles Gairdner kemarin pagi.
Seorang juru bicara rumah sakit mengatakan tadi malam dia dalam kondisi kritis pada dukungan hidup.
Seorang teman keluarga, yang tidak ingin disebutkan namanya, kata Davies, seorang tukang kayu, adalah orang yang benar-benar hebat dari keluarga yang indah.
Hal ini dipahami ia pergi ke Sekolah Tinggi Churchlands Senior dan merupakan pemain yang menjanjikan dengan klub Wembley Lacrosse.
Dia mewakili Indonesia pada 2008 di bawah-19 Kejuaraan Dunia Lacrosse.
Orang tuanya dan dua saudara muda diyakini berada di samping tempat tidur rumah sakit.
Saudaranya memposting di Facebook bahwa keluarga akan menyampaikan lekas sembuh pesan dari teman Liam ketika mereka mengunjungi dia di perawatan intensif.
Dia tidak menjadi turis pertama diracuni di pulau-pulau yang populer.
Pada September 2011, menonjol Perth pemain rugby Michael Denton, 29, meninggal di Rumah Sakit Sanglah setelah mengkonsumsi minuman yang mengandung metanol perjalanan Bali dengan teman-teman timnya. Hasil otopsi menemukan ia meninggal akibat keracunan metanol.
Kematian Mr Denton datang tiga hari setelah Sydney perawat Jamie Johnston mengalami kerusakan otak dan gagal ginjal dari minum metanol-laced di restoran Happy Cafe di Lombok.
Pada bulan Juni, Swedia man Johan Lundin, 28, memiliki mojito beracun di Gili Trawangan pulau, dekat Lombok, bahwa tunangannya mengatakan itu dicampur dengan metanol.
Bulan lalu, dokter darurat memperingatkan wisatawan di Bali tentang bahaya minuman tercemar setelah 18 tahun Sydney sekolah leaver itu buta sementara setelah minum di bar populer di Denpasar.
Relawan Katak kelompok Merah, yang membantu lulusan sekolah selama perayaan tahunan mereka, menuju ke Bali untuk pertama kalinya tahun lalu.
Ini mengatakan kepada sebuah koran Minggu pekan lalu bahwa para pekerja diperlakukan lima lulusan dan membawa mereka ke rumah sakit dengan keracunan metanol dicurigai namun diduga jumlah sebenarnya jauh lebih tinggi.
Dua tahun lalu, 25 warga Bali tewas dari ramuan rumah mematikan yang kata polisi metanol yang terkandung. Beberapa bulan kemudian 22 orang tewas dan 300 lainnya menderita keracunan setelah minum minuman keras oplosan dicampur dengan metanol di Jawa Tengah.
Dalam dua minggu pada tahun 2009, setidaknya empat warga asing termasuk di antara 25 orang yang meninggal akibat keracunan metanol di Bali dan Lombok, dan lebih dari 50 orang lainnya membutuhkan perawatan di rumah sakit.
Keracunan telah meningkat sejak sebuah tindakan keras Pemerintah Indonesia pada produk alkohol luar negeri membuat pajak atas minuman keras impor meroket.
Ross Taylor, ketua WA-Indonesia yang berbasis Institute, mengatakan insiden metanol terbaru ini sangat mengkhawatirkan, tapi itu tidak terlalu mengejutkan bahwa insiden seperti itu meningkat.
"Australia Sayangnya terlalu banyak memperlakukan Bali dan Lombok seolah-olah tempat itu halaman belakang mereka sendiri," katanya.
"Pulau-pulau ini adalah tempat yang indah untuk liburan tetapi mereka masih bagian dari sebuah negara Dunia Ketiga yang jauh di belakang tempat-tempat seperti Australia dalam hal perlindungan hukum dan medis yang kami ambil untuk diberikan."
Taylor mengatakan wisatawan harus minum bir Bintang, yang murah dan aman di moderasi, atau anggur dari produsen resmi.
Dia mendesak masyarakat untuk menghindari jenis minuman spirit dan sangat berhati-hati minuman mereka tidak "berduri" di klub malam dan bar.
"Anak-anak muda di Indonesia untuk kali pertama mereka yang menemukan diri mereka sangat mabuk pada 2 am adalah korban empuk bagi beberapa operator yang sangat berbahaya," katanya.
"Anggur Arak adalah minuman dari orang miskin di Indonesia.
"Hal ini secara tradisional diproduksi di desa-desa terpencil di mana tidak ada hukum atau pembatasan bahan-bahan apa yang digunakan, termasuk metanol dan spirit kadang-kadang mematikan lainnya dan bahan kimia."
Taylor mengatakan kenaikan dramatis dalam wisatawan yang berkunjung ke Bali dan pulau-pulau tetangga, dan khususnya peningkatan wisatawan muda benar-benar naif, membuat sebuah "perkembangan alami" bahwa bahan kimia membuat jalan mereka ke bar dan klub malam.
Minuman ini bisa dibuat untuk di bawah $ 1 liter dan dijual di Kuta dan Legian selama 10 kali.
Spoiler for versi aslinya:
A 19-year-old Perth man was fighting for his life in hospital last night with suspected methanol poisoning from a drink on the Indonesian island of Lombok, near Bali.
Liam Davies, of Marmion, was flown from Indonesia, where he had been on holiday to celebrate New Year's Eve with a friend and the friend's father, and is understood to have arrived at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital early yesterday.
A hospital spokeswoman said last night he was in a critical condition on life support.
A family friend, who did not wish to be named, said Mr Davies, a roof carpenter, was a really great person from a beautiful family.
It is understood he went to Churchlands Senior High School and was a promising player with Wembley Lacrosse Club.
He represented Australia at the 2008 under-19 World Lacrosse Championships.
His parents and two younger brothers were believed to be at his hospital bedside.
His brother posted on Facebook that the family would pass on get-well messages from Liam's friends when they visited him in intensive care.
He would not be the first tourist poisoned on the popular islands.
In September 2011, prominent Perth rugby player Michael Denton, 29, died in Sanglah Hospital after having a drink containing methanol on a Bali trip with his teammates. An autopsy found he died from methanol poisoning.
Mr Denton's death came three days after Sydney nurse Jamie Johnston suffered brain damage and kidney failure from a methanol-laced drink at the Happy Cafe restaurant on Lombok.
In June, Swedish man Johan Lundin, 28, had a poisoned mojito on Gili Trawangan island, near Lombok, that his fiancee said was laced with methanol.
Last month, emergency doctors warned tourists in Bali about the dangers of tainted drinks after an 18-year-old Sydney school leaver was temporarily blinded after drinking at popular bars in Denpasar.
Volunteer group Red Frogs, which helps school leavers during their annual celebrations, headed to Bali for the first time last year.
It told a Sunday newspaper last week that its workers treated five leavers and took them to hospital with suspected methanol poisoning but suspected the real number was much higher.
Two years ago, 25 Bali locals died from a deadly home concoction that police said contained methanol. A few months later 22 people died and 300 others suffered poisoning after drinking bootleg liquor laced with methanol in Central Java.
In two weeks in 2009, at least four foreigners were among 25 people who died from methanol poisoning in Bali and Lombok and more than 50 other people needed hospital treatment.
Poisonings have risen since an Indonesian Government krackdown on overseas alcohol made taxes on foreign drinks rocket.
Ross Taylor, chairman of the WA-based Indonesia Institute, said the latest methanol incident was extremely worrying but it was not overly surprising that such incidents were increasing.
"Unfortunately too many Australians are treating Bali and Lombok as if these places were their own backyard," he said.
"These islands are a wonderful place for a holiday but they are still part of a Third World country that is a long way behind places like Australia in terms of legal and medical protections that we take for granted."
Mr Taylor said tourists should drink Bintang beer, which is cheap and safe in moderation, or wine from authorised producers.
He urged people to avoid spirit-type drinks and to be extremely careful their drinks were not "spiked" at nightclubs and bars.
"Young people in Indonesia for their first time who find themselves very drunk at 2am are easy prey for some very dangerous operators," he said.
"Arak wine is the drink of poor people in Indonesia.
"It is traditionally produced in remote villages where there are no laws or restrictions on what ingredients are used, including methanol and other sometimes lethal spirits and chemicals."
Mr Taylor said the dramatic rise in tourists visiting Bali and neighbouring islands, and in particular the increase in really naive young travellers, made it a "natural progression" that chemicals made their way into bars and nightclubs.
These drinks could be made for under $1 a litre and sold in Kuta and Legian for 10 times that.
Komen: Bule kena minuman oplosan abis minum "Special Mix" dari Lombok, langsung kritis. Ane kira perut bule lebih kuat dari orang indo... hehehehe.....
