New Delhi sources have reported that at Gurgaon, a young businessman from Delhi was rushed to hospital where doctors removed what they describe as "nearly half his stomach." It was stated that the 30 year old man who has requested anonymity, had ordered a cocktail laced with liquid nitrogen. He swallowed the drink even before the white smoke liquid nitrogen vapors had vanished.
Meanwhile despite some discomfort which included breathlessness and pain in the abdomen, he finished his drink and ordered another. Minutes later, he was in excruciating pain and his stomach was swollen. A three hour surgery was undergone and the businessman spent 10 days in intensive care and has given up drinking completely and he is fine now.
Moreover it was stated that liquid nitrogen is used at bars because it can
quickly chill glasses, freeze ingredients or provide the smoky effect when
combined with alcohol, the gas, in liquid form, adds a halo or steam or vapor
which is a smoky effect that has become trendy over recent years, popular in
the way that cocktails that are set alight were a few years ago.
