A group of construction workers organized a drinking party after completing the project. Three people had foaming at the mouth, purple hands and feet, respiratory failure and were hospitalized in critical condition.

On the morning of August 20, a group of about 10 workers organized a drinking party. Later that afternoon, three people were hospitalized with methanol poisoning, also known as industrial alcohol. The health of the remaining people is currently unknown.

Specialist Doctor II Duong Phuoc Dong, Head of the Department of Intensive Care and Anti-Poison, Kien Giang General Hospital, said that all three patients were in critical condition, required ventilators, were in deep coma, had blood pressure buildup, and had a poor prognosis. Treatment was also hampered as the hospital was lacking biological products and equipment.

"The family doesn't know how much alcohol they drank, they just know it was a lot," said Dr. Dong.

Late last year, the hospital also admitted 14 people with alcohol poisoning at a funeral, three of whom died later.
