BREAKING NEWS: DON'T DRINK ANYTHING IF YOU ARE AN AMERICAN TOURIST IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

[TntBdx]

So much for dominicans acting like they so much better than haitians

Said this in one of the other DR threads: wife and I went to Punta Cana last September. Not a single problem. All inclusive resort, ate well, drank all the liquor all day (they had Henny for your boy too which was supposed to be premium and pay above the inclusive package), walked around the big resort all day and night with not a single problem, etc. Had a good time. We’ve been to Cancun, Negril, Jamaica, and now DR, and had no problems with any of them as far as health or safety.

Yup I mean 6.5 million tourists go to dr every year not even 1 percent have major issues

I had a great time in punta cana

I’d say bang for the buck only Cuba can come close to dr.

I'm not one to fearmonger, but 6 deaths and dozens of illnesses in a short period of time is suspect.

I have to imagine it's counterfeit liquor, apparently some Mexican resorts were caught with it before and it might be a thing in DR now.

basically...to try to “explain it away” as a result of poor-tipping is absolutely absurd

 

[get these nets]

all these people probably had it coming either being cheap and stingy or making disrespectful remarks to the workers.

Are you trivializing the deaths of the Black people who died down there? They deserved to die for being "cheap, stingy or making disrespectful comments to the workers"?

You are a whole circus clown. fukk you.

Yeah and considering how many people got sick (in addition to dying), it's hard for me to believe that the workers decided to poison that many people for not tipping.

Just got back. NO ISSUES AT ALL.

Dominican moonshine?

Never understood the obsession people have with drinking liquor. One of the weirdest phenomenons to me

Bootleg liquor eyed as cause of Dominican Republic tourist deaths

Cops are investigating whether at least seven tourists who mysteriously died in the Dominican Republic were poisoned by counterfeit booze, The Post has learned.

Officials want to know who supplied the alcoholic beverages the victims drank in the minutes and hours before their deaths over the past year — and if the drinks had any dangerous chemicals in them, law enforcement sources said.

The FBI is assisting and will take blood samples from the dead back to its research center in Quantico, Va., a source said.

The Dominican government insists the fatalities are isolated incidents, while reps for both of the resorts where victims have died — the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and Bahia Principe — described the deaths as simple accidents.

But most of the deaths bear similarities, as they involve apparently healthy adults — at least some of whom drank from their hotel room minibar before suddenly becoming gravely sick.

Five American tourists have died in mysterious circumstances on the island this year, while the family of two others who died in 2018 say they now suspect their loved ones met foul play.

Others have reported falling ill, but surviving, after drinking from their minibars.

A Post reporter at one of the resorts noted the vodka in the room had a strange, potent smell resembling pure alcohol.

Lawrence Kobilinsky, a forensic science professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan, said the symptoms among some of the dead — including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea — were consistent with poisoning from methanol or pesticides.

Methanol is a type of alcohol not safe for humans. It is regularly used as antifreeze.

“Adulterated alcohol is usually methanol added to alcohol or just plain methanol, which is very, very toxic,” Kobilinsky said.

“It looks to me, from what I’ve heard and read, is that something was added to the drinks or bottles in those little refrigerators.”

People enjoy feeling uninhibited and people like forgetting about their problems.

It's not a natural personality trait for everyone

Im going in august for 9 days. First 4 at a villa for my boys wedding and the next 5 in my parents hometown

Ya nikkas can pay for p*ssy all ya want...you actually might find some dimes if you go to the right spots. But us Dominican-Americans get p*ssy for free out there, theres nothing that gets a DR bytch more open than a dominican from the states. You get treated like a celebrity almost shyt is crazy. The amount of ass in the clubs out there will leave you stuck on stupid

Dominican moonshine?

LOL @ this scapegoat excuse as if people are flying all that way, paying $$$ for a resort to only die off of some bootleg booze at venues (presumably) filled with top shelf liquor.

Folks need to wise up and think twice about where they are traveling because Americans are food all over the world.

DR claims another one. A 53 year old woman from Staten Island. Her son begged her to stay home.
