Over $15,000 Sought for "Flaming Shot" Burns
According to the Tampa Tribune, a 24-year-old woman is suing a St. Petersburg, Florida bar for serving her a "flaming shot" of Bacardi 151 proof rum which resulted in 3rd degree burns. The woman claims she was underaged at the time of the incident and should not have been served alcohol. The woman's father, an insurance executive, alleges that he has repeatedly sought a settlement with the bar, but that lack of progress in reaching an agreement has forced the filing of a personal injury lawsuit. The woman spat out the drink, causing the flames to expand. No flames would have resulted if she simply swallowed it, reports the Tribune.
