Man sold urine as whiskey to tourists

A British con man sold bogus bottles of booze that were actually just water laced with urine and human waste.

Nicholas Stewart told tourists visiting Blackpool that the one-liter bottles he was selling for a bargain $15 each were filled with Jack Daniel’s whiskey and Smirnoff vodka.

But, in fact, they contained pee and excrement, reports the Blackpool Gazette.

The 35-year-old was arrested and pleaded guilty to fraud at Blackpool Magistrates' Court on Friday.

Prosecutor Victoria Cartmell said lab tests proved that the bottles contained no alcohol at all.

"They were purported to contain whiskey and vodka, but were water laced with urine and feces — probably to give the so-called whiskey color," she said.

 "They were totally unsuitable for public consumption — they were hazardous and contained dangerous E. coli bacteria," she added.

Stewart received a 70-day jail term suspended for 12 months.

Prosecutors are now trying to prevent him from selling anything in the Blackpool area and have applied to subject him to a Criminal Anti-Social Behavior Order.
