India toxic alcohol toll tops 100
Men who consumed toxic liquor receive treatment at a hospital in Ahmedabad on July 9, 2009.

The number of people who have died in the western Indian state of Gujarat after drinking toxic illegal alcohol has now risen to 107, police say.

Meanwhile, in raids across the state, police have detained over 800 people and Chief Minister Narendra Modi has vowed to punish those responsible.

In Ahmedabad city, where the deaths have taken place, schools and colleges have shut in protest.

Officials say the final toll may be higher as more people are in hospital.

2. I agree...
...Bourbon is deliciously toxic when poured over ice.

Mmmmm....Kentucky Whiskey.
