U.K. tourists hospitalized in critical state after mistakenly given cleaning product instead of drinks.

The whole incident occurred at a lavish hotel in the beautiful island of Crete. The unfortunate event involved a group of five men, ranging from 35 to 69 years of age, who were having a good time at the hotel bar. Little did they know, their night would turn into a nightmare due to a grave mistake made by the bartender. Instead of serving them the expected alcoholic beverage, she mistakenly served them a cleaning agent.

Among the five men were two British tourists who were immediately taken to the hospital after consuming the harmful liquid. The other three men, one German and two Dutch nationals, also suffered severe consequences after taking a shot of the detergent. The incident took place in the early hours of Saturday at the luxury hotel located in the village of Gouves. The group was enjoying their night with the bar staff when the bartender served them shots of tsikoudia, a traditional Cretan liquor.

Unfortunately, the bartender unknowingly grabbed a bottle from the fridge that contained the cleaning agent. She even poured a glass for herself but was unable to drink it as the hotel guests began feeling unwell. All five of them were immediately rushed to the hospital and admitted into the intensive care unit. Four of the men were taken to the University Hospital of Heraklion, where they are currently receiving treatment and are being mechanically supported.

The fifth person, who suffered swelling in the larynx, was taken to the ICU of Venizeli Hospital for further medical attention. The incident has sparked an investigation by the police, resulting in the arrest of the hotel manager. The liquid has been confiscated and will be thoroughly examined by the authorities, but initial tests have revealed it to be a cleaning detergent.

As a precautionary measure, the bar has been temporarily closed while the investigation is ongoing. Local health and safety authorities have also been notified and are involved in the process. This unfortunate event serves as a reminder to always double-check and ensure the safety of the customers, especially when it comes to serving drinks.
