A Young Woman Addicted To Drink Gasoline

Hailing from Welland, Ontario, the attractive 20-year-old Shannon began drinking gasoline a year ago; she is now consuming about 12 teaspoons per day. “I am addicted to drinking gasoline,” said Shannon. “It tastes like sweet and sour, like a tangy sauce. It tingles at first, then it burns the back of my throat.” Always prepared for her fix, Shannon keeps jugs of gasoline under the sink in the washroom of her Ontario home. Then, when she is not a home, she packs a water bottle full of gasoline, keeping her fix handy.
Shannon is not the first person to drink the toxic chemical. Asian newspapers reported on a Chinese man last year who has been drinking petrol for 42 years. There is also the unconfirmed report of a young Chinese boy who wanted to be the fictional character, Optimus Prime, so he drank gasoline for 5 years to “obtain energy” so he could be more like his Transformer idol.
