The American man who died after drinking tainted alcohol in Laos has been identified.

James Louis Hutson, 57, was found dead inside his room at the Nana Backpacker Hotel in Vang Viang on November 13.

According to the Vientiane Times, workers at the hostel had entered his room after realizing he had not left all day and found him unconscious.

The outlet reported that he was taken to hospital, with police finding four empty bottles of beer and two empty bottles of vodka in his room.

Hutson is one of six who have died in the suspected mass methanol poisoning that has hit the party town.

Australian teenagers Bianca Jones and Holly Bowles, both 19, died after a night out, while British Lawyer Simone White, 28, also lost her life.

I'll have a methanol martini, straight up with an olive please. Seriously, this is horrible! I'm a Beefeater martini guy and one sip of methanol would have resulted in a spit out. Rest their souls and burn the killer.

Why is a 57 year old man backpacking in Asia?

[bgill]

Alcohol poisoning of American tourists seems to be the thing in foreign countries.

[Theoria]

Living the dream.

[HerrBlucher]

He was looking for adventure, and he found it!

Ladyboys?

Most likely buying dates with kids.

When someone knows you want something real bad they can easily promise you a cheap but harmful substitute. Look out tourists!

Some of the large stores in Oregon (pressured by the state) ask for ID to purchase alcohol, tobaco, and even matches even if you are 80 or 90+.

I didn’t realize there was an age limit on back packing.

For those with a bit of money, that like to imbibe drugs, unlimited sex of any kind, underage girls or even girly boys, south east asia is the place to be.It is a common and everyday experience.Not just SE Asia. Murder and rape in some of the countries to the south don’t even make the news. And the Biden regime just let them walk right on through. Time to take America back.

Another eco-tourist bites the dust.

methanol is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless liquid, you know, EXACTLY like water ...

My last episode of over imbibing occurred on 12/30/79. I was spending my Christmas break with German friends in Lutjenburg, a tourist town overlooking the Baltic. While at a disco, I was in a drinking game: the loser bought a round of Jagermeister. I stopped counting at 15 shots.

Next morning, NY's Eve, I was sick as a dog, I about died while hanging in there at the NY Eve party, which lasted until 8 AM the following morning. I was 25 and in my third year in Germany. I could usually hang with the Germans, but this was a bridge too far...lol. Two bottles of vodka would definitely do me in.

No wait, it can happen to the best of us.
