Flaming Doctor Pepper - Potential Danger

Potential Danger

The American Journal of Emergency Medicine reported a case in 1997 in which a 14-year-old boy from Danville, Virginia, spilled the contents of the shot glass onto his face while dropping the shot glass into the beer, resulting in “multiple separate sites of superficial partial-thickness burns” about his face and neck.
