Seven Tourists Hospitalized After Drinking Cocktails at Fiji Resort

Authorities investigate suspected alcohol poisoning at the Warwick Fiji resort as toxicology results are awaited.

Seven guests, including four Australians and one American, fell ill with nausea, vomiting, and neurological symptoms after consuming piña coladas at the Warwick Fiji resort on Saturday night.
Two of the affected individuals remain hospitalized in stable condition, while five have been discharged and are recovering.
Fijian authorities are conducting toxicology tests to determine the cause, with results expected in the coming days, but methanol poisoning has not been confirmed.
The incident is described as isolated, with no similar cases reported at the resort or elsewhere in Fiji, according to the country’s deputy prime minister and tourism minister.
The Australian government has updated its travel advisory for Fiji, warning tourists to exercise caution regarding drink spiking and methanol poisoning.
