To go with India-health-alcohol-crime,FOCUS by Sailendra Sil Mass alcohol poisoning survivor Mohammed Alauddin Chowdhury, who was recently discharged following treatment, looks on as he sits with relatives in Padder Haat village, some 80kms south of Kolkata, on December 17, 2011. In the space of just a few short days, the close-knit community of Sangrampur in eastern India -- along with a number of smaller surrounding villages -- has been decimated by a case of mass poisoning from toxic, home-brewed alcohol. So far 170 people have died, almost exclusively men, most of whom were the sole bread-winners in families that were already struggling with life on the poverty line.

A doctor tends to alcohol poisoning patients receiving medical treatment at the Diamond Harbour sub-divisional hospital in Diamond Harbour, after dozens died and many injured drinking boot-leg liquor in several villages south of Kolkata, on December 15, 2011. A batch of home-brewed liquor thought to have been laced with the highly toxic chemical methanol has killed 131 people in eastern India, an official told AFP. Many of them were labourers and rickshaw drivers too poor to afford branded alcohol who stopped for a drink at illegal bars or bought from bootleggers after work on Tuesday.
