A resident of Vladikavkaz accidentally drank vinegar that ended up inside a mineral water bottle. This was reported by the Baza Telegram channel.

As it became known, the incident occurred on February 11. A 65-year-old man bought several bottles of mineral water at the local market. Already at home, he opened one of the bottles and took a sip. Instead of mineral water, the man drank vinegar. As a result, he received a severe burn to the esophagus with vinegar essence. The man was urgently hospitalized in serious condition. Later he was brought to Moscow to the Sklifosovsky Research Institute.

At the moment it is unknown how the bite got into the mineral water bottle. Law enforcement officials began an investigation into the incident. The republic has already begun to withdraw this batch of water from stores.
