Toxic hepatitis has killed a dozen people in Russia since September 2006 after drinking vodka, or so they thought:

And in the northwestern city of Pskov, near the border with Estonia, at least 12 people died of toxic hepatitis and 134 remained hospitalized with the disease after drinking bad alcohol since mid-September, local health officials said.

‘All those people were diagnosed for toxic hepatitis caused by some alcohol liquid,’ Vladimir Ryabenchenko, head of the Pskov Health Committee’s emergency department, told The Associated Press.
