MELBOURNE, Australia - An Australian "prankster" barmaid who served a patron a shot of disinfectant has appeared in court over what her lawyers said was a "misguided" joke.
Melbourne barmaid Emily Craig, 23, served a client a single 30-milliliter shot glass of Pine-O-Cleen disinfectant in March during a 6 a.m. drinking bout at Evolution Nightclub, causing him to become violently ill, the Melbourne Magistrates court was told.
"This was a misguided joke at an ungodly hour," Craig's lawyer George Balot told the judge, according to reports Tuesday in local newspapers.

The patron developed ulcers on his skin after drinking the disinfectant shot from Craig, who has since lost her job and faces four charges of intentionally causing injury.

A "joke" would be loading a drink up with Tabasco sauce, or some other actually
edible thing that produced a shock or just tasted nasty.
I hope this idiot barmaid gets the book thrown at her; there is no way she didn't realize serving disinfectant was dangerous.

Ever clear is still ethyl alcohol; rubbing alcohol is generally isopropal.

“”This was a misguided joke at an ungodly hour,””
And that is the worst kind.
To: MeanWestTexan
It was in jest. And anyone who actually likes Everclear is tougher than me.
