Drinking fire 
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
A man in northern Sweden died from drinking a highly flammable liquid called T-Red.
T-Red is normally used for lighting camping stoves and such, but is also popular among homeless alcoholics, because it contains large amounts of alcohol. Sifted carefully, T-Red is possible to drink without the worst side effects, though it's not particularly tasty.
This man however took the idiocy of drinking T-Red to an entirely new level, and lit a cigarette while sipping his Friday-night drink.
The booze took fire and spread through his throat and downwards. The man died in hospital, where also his wife and child were treated for severe burn injuries that occurred due to his accident.
The facts in this story was published in the daily newspaper Metro, in Stockholm, Sweden. Submitted on 06/30/2003
