I read it was bootleg alcohol that was poisoning everyone down there.

Is this a case where anybody that gets sick will now be international news? Or do they actually think this is related?

Walton & Johnson were just talking about a big group of Americans that got really sick in DR while attending a Jimmy Buffet concert. Stay the hell away from that place.

I saw him throw a guy through the old Taco Bell window when it was down by Der Weinerschnitzel on Highland. He was a beast.

People only go there bc it’s cheap.

The Dominicans are terrible at hospitality.

This. The country is a shithole. The whole island is a shithole.

I've never felt more unsafe in a foreign country off the resort than I did in the DR...

Beer for liquor you’re in the clear

Liquor before beer you’re gonna get sicker

Or something like that

All of this and I’ve stayed in Boca Chica and Santo Domingo....not just Punta Cana

It’s truly a 3rd World Country

All 32 MLB baseball teams have training compounds down there and they are all pretty close to each other. Every one of them have armed guards at the gates and patrolling the grounds because they are afraid of kidnappings of the players and holding them for ransom.

The leader of the group stated on TV that each member who got sick also went into that petri dish known as the swim up bar. Nothing like 24 hours of pisse, farm it, and but crumbles mixed with alcohol.

I was there with a group of 19 on a senior trip the same week. We didn't have any problems. Don't drink anything that isn't sealed or if somebody says try this! Use common sense and lay of the Mamajuana! Maybe we consumed enough alcohol to kill any deadly pathogens!
