    The Dublin whiskey fire took place on 18 June 1875 in the Liberties area of Dublin.[1] It lasted a single night but killed 13 people (from alcohol poisoning), and resulted in €6 million worth of damage in whiskey alone (adjusted for inflation).[2]People drank from the 6 inches (15 cm) deep river of whiskey that is said to have flowed as far as the Coombe.[3] None of the fatalities suffered during the fire were due to smoke inhalation, burns, or any other form of direct contact with the fire itself; all of them were attributed to alcohol poisoning from drinking the undiluted whiskey running through the streets that had been stored in casks that exploded; this alcohol was much more potent than whiskey offered at retail in bottles.[4]

    Fucking hilarious.

      What a shame that the cheese and red wine flood didn't happen at the same time. It would've been a feast!

        For a time in middle school, my brother's personality could be summed up by "Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919"... He learned it in a book somewhere and thought it was the funniest thing and just brought it up all the time, drew pictures and comics of it, and just generally was a molasses-themed menace.

            50% of the list is "The great chocolate and beer flood, where everyone got drunk and full." And the other half is "The terrible toxic fossils fuel slip or ecological disaster and death", except both have equal deaths.

              Book your time travellers grand tour feast of flood beer, butter, cheese, whiskey, wine and chocolate.

              For the cheaper package, there's the toxic runoff, coal and radioactive material tour.
