Qxir | BURNING River of Whiskey Too Much to Resist, 13 Killed | Tales From the Bottle @Qxir | Uploaded May 2021 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
A river of whiskey flowing freely through the Irish streets. There's just one problem - the whole thing is on fire.


"The Dublin Whiskey Fire took place on the 18th of June, 1875 in the Liberties area of Dublin City. It lasted a single night but killed 13 people, and resulted in €6 million worth of damage in whiskey alone (adjusted for inflation), None of the fatalities suffered during the fire were due to smoke inhalation, burns, or any other form of direct contact with the fire itself, but from alcohol poisoning after drinking from the 6-inch (15.24 cm) deep river of whiskey that is said to have flowed as far as the Coombe."
