REAL LIFE NEWS: WHAT A TERRIBLE WASTE!

by Hazed

An accident in a whiskey bottling plant in Scotland has sent thousands of litres of whiskey down the drain. Tragedy!

The problem occured at Chivas Brothers this week when instead of waste water being flushed away, the workers on duty somehow managed to drain the massive quantity of bulk whiskey into the sewers. The smell was so strong that sewage workers reported it.

Chivas Brothers released a statement saying, “We are currently investigating an accidental loss on the 26th of February at our Dumbarton site, where some spirit was released to the local water treatment plant. There has been no release of spirit to the River Leven or any other local water course. We have informed Scottish Water and all other relevant authorities.”

Meanwhile workers at Scottish Water are monitoring the Dumbarton waste water treatment plant to ensure that the whiskey doesn’t compromise their processes.

I would imagine that locals are turning on their taps, praying that their water supply IS contaminated with whiskey!
