A Pittsburgh Steelers fan says he was left blind and is living with brain damage after he was apparently poisoned at a Chicago bar following a game in September, according to a report from WTAE Channel 4 in Pittsburgh.
Zack Heddinger says he and a few friends went to a bar after the Steelers' 17-14 loss to the Bears at Soldier Field on Sept. 20. After trash talking with Bears fans inside Kitty O'Shea's, he says he accepted a drink from them and passed out and was rushed to a hospital. Heddinger said he thought the drink might be "antifreeze or something."

From the article:
“Doctors suspect his drink may have been spiked with toxic grain alcohol.”
Grain alcohol is the imbibable kind. Wood alcohol is the toxic one. Or IPA, but not grain.
Yes it is possible that someone spiked his drink. People still try to get women to drink roofie-spiked stuff. The perps probably were not trying to kill him, though. Hope the truth comes out.

All joking aside I hope his health is fine.

Wow...if true they better find the culprits. Not sure how they can tell. Did they run toxicology tests afterwards?
Despicable IF true...

I want to say, as a Steeler fan, that neither Chicago in general nor Bears fans in particular (but I repeat myself) should be blamed for any crime that might have been committed here.
This is the act of one or more thugs, nothing more.

Or a Chargers Hat/Shirt. My Dad surprised me with tickets for Christmas while I was back home from school. One of the few times I really feared for my life.

If he drank even one ounce of methanol, his health is not fine! - He’ll never see again. Methanol destroys the retna and optic nerve.

I think the sister meant wood alcohol. Grain alcohol is what we commonly drink. Beer is one example.
I don’t know what the intent was, but the responsibility is just the same. It sure seems as if someone slipped him a mickey.
Blindness is a result of wood alcohol. Whether that’s what this was, I don’t know.
