Fake vodka 'can kill you' warning to Christmas shoppers
Christmas shoppers trying to save money are being warned to look out for counterfeit alcohol, which can seriously damage health.
Trading standards say it may contain chemicals such as chloroform or industrial alcohol, which can affect eyesight, or in extreme cases, kill.
Seizures of counterfeit vodka in some areas doubled over the last year.
Typically it is sold in corner shops where unscrupulous owners sell it from underneath the counter.
It has also been found on sale in nightclubs.
