This girl's entire stomach was removed! The English are crazy to serve this! Liquid nitrogen is deadly! It's colder than any ice on this planet and can cause instant frostbite with any physical contact! It boils and evaporates at minus 321 degrees Fahrenheit. How can any crazy people drink it?? I don't know how this stuff seems to be stabilized somewhat in alcohol. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_nitrogen www.thewestmorlandgazette.co.uk/news/9970724.Girl_hospitalised_after_drinking_cocktail_containing_liquid_nitrogen_in_Lancaster/ QUOTE: Girl hospitalised after drinking cocktail containing liquid nitrogen in LancasterOct. 6, 2012 6th October 2012 in News AN investigation is underway after an 18-year-old girl was taken ill during a night out in Lancaster city centre. The girl, of Heysham, had been out with friends on Thursday evening and reported feeling breathless after drinking a cocktail containing liquid nitrogen. She then developed severe stomach pain and was taken to Lancaster Royal Infirmary at about 11pm. There she was diagnosed with a perforated stomach and underwent emergency surgery to remove her stomach. She is currently in a serious but stable condition. Lancashire Police continues to work closely with partner agencies and the licensed premises involved. A Lancashire Police spokesperson said: "The investigation is still in its early stages and we are still interviewing witnesses to establish the full facts. "The premises involved have fully cooperated with all agencies and have suspended drinks involving liquid nitrogen."

I had never heard of this before today. But don't blame the English, Anna: a quick on-line search would have found this clip from the USA, demonstrating how to use liquid nitrogen in cocktails:

I can honestly say, if I was offered a chance to consume something with a substance in it that has a temperature of hundreds of degrees below zero, I wouldn't drink it! Why wasn't the girl afraid of that?

But don't blame the English, Anna: a quick on-line search would have found this clip from the USA, demonstrating how to use liquid nitrogen in cocktails: Hi SkyLark! I've never heard of this in Germany. It amazes that this super cold substance doesn't immediately go "poof". This video demonstrating the "Leidenfrost Effect" may explain how people get away with playing Russian roulette with liquid nitrogen.
The girl, who had her stomach removed probably didn't eat anything and the liquid nitrogen without a "buffer zone" simply destroyed her stomach.
I'm sure this tragedy will be repeated if the mad fad of consuming liquid nitrogen isn't prohibited!

Why wasn't the girl afraid of that? I wonder if she had a clue what she was consuming. She may just have thought of it as an ice-cold cocktail without giving a moment's thought to how it was prepared.

It says the bar has agreed to not make the drinks anymore......I can't believe they thought it was a good thing in the first place......

According to the video other bars still serve liquid nitrogen. This story still creeps me out! The YouTube video explains how the stomach can explode after drinking liquid nitrogen.
