Reply to comment by stanley_leverlock in Drink Masters on Netflix rides the line between "mildly interesting" and "this is the most pretentious shit ever" by jcwitte

Dry ice and activated charcoal in cocktails have been linked to deaths. It's less "I'm afraid this will kill me right this second" and more "this is a dangerous trend in the industry and I won't be supporting it."

Then why was it even available as an ingredient? I mean, I know why, just so that they could manufacture some stupid cooking show drama.

Dry ice has been used in cocktails for decades. The number of injuries and deaths from it are minuscule, far less than random allergic reactions to other ingredients. The activated charcoal is a lot more of an issue in my opinion since there is danger of interfering with medications.
