N2  - Locally prepared liquor, which is not standardized or regulated, though cheap can contain various toxic ingredients and even may be fatal. We report a case series of four adult males who died within 18.5 h due to the 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. Liquor production should be standardized, and quality checks should be done before the sale for consumption.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
