Ontario Liquor Stores Had to Recall Vodka That Was 81 Percent Alcohol

Oops.

Ontario liquor stores have issued a recall of Georgian Bay Vodka after realizing that a batch of it was 81 percent alcohol as opposed to the standard 40 percent.

According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the vodka was bottled before it was diluted properly, resulting in the exceedingly high alcohol content.

"Consumers should not consume the recalled product described," the agency said in the recall notice. Few types of booze are in the 80-percent range (Bacardi 151 and Absinthe come to mind), but suffice to say, that much alcohol can get a person fucked up very quickly.

The LCBO has removed 654 bottles of the potent vodka from stores, according to the Canadian Press, and no one has reported being sick yet.
