In Iran, 26 individuals have died and hundreds have been hospitalized due to alcohol poisoning from methanol-contaminated beverages. These incidents occurred in the provinces of Mazandaran, Gilan, and Hamadan. Alcohol has been banned since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, prompting many to seek bootlegged or homemade alcohol, which often contains methanol. Alcohol poisonings have surged, with over 700 fatalities reported in 2020 alone.
