Polish lake turned to neat vodka
A Polish lake has reportedly been turned from fresh water to 30% proof vodka after a malfunction at a nearby distillery.
Chemist Robert Wilczynski, used specialist equipment to test the alcohol levels in the Bracholinskie lake in Wielkopolska and found it was pretty much neat spirit.
He said: "Our alcohol measuring equipment is not wrong. It recorded a level of 30%. There is vodka in this lake.”
The news about the free vodka in the lake has apparently spread fast and farmers from nearby villages are descending on the area to fill their boots.
One local woman told the Warsaw Business Journal she feared for the future of the region.
Genowefa Licha, a 76-year-old who lives near the lake said: “If God does not help us, everyone in the neighbourhood will be stinky drunkards and only a hole will be left on the site of our lovely lake.”
There is no truth in the rumour that a neighbouring lake of fresh orange is being prepared as we speak.
