Their parents obviously believe their children were slipped mickeys  Rooms at this resort start at $200/night https://www.iberostar.com/en/hotels/riviera-maya/iberostar-paraiso-beach |

I don't see more detail as to how it happened. I was never able to do the spring break thing, but saw more than my share of boozing silliness. Doubt it will change much of anything, maybe just shift the action to Puerto Rico. The President is a fink. |

I think that is the whole point. The claim is that people don't know what is happening to them. There is a strong innuendo that they are being slipped drugs to make them potential robbery victims. The truth may not matter here! |

If they are on an all-inclusive I don't see that happening, the place should be fairly safe. The President is a fink. |

A lawyer's job is to spread the idea that anything is possible. These are heartbroken parents. They lost a beautiful 20 year old daughter. It would be unnatural if they said it was all her fault. People don't work that way |

People don't, true. They just blame people like me who point out the obvious. Looking at the pic, she looks like an easy mark, though. Has the look of someone grew up a sheltered life. The President is a fink. |

| Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | The truth is that no serious crime takes place in a Mexican resort. Deaths are accidents or else crimes committed by a fellow tourist. Occasiona stolen luggage is the only crime and that is rare. |

Wood alcohol would not work so quickly and would attack optic nerve also. "Mickey Finn" to obtain access to room or room key or something seems more likely than 'cut' alcohol. |

Would wood alcohol affect you different at all, other than blinding you? The President is a fink. |
