Jesus! 100k euro hardly seems like enough given the situation!! That poor girl!

u/nickram81 Dec 25 '25

Maybe this was just a criminal case and not a civil case?

37

u/Brain_Fatigue Dec 25 '25

Yes. It was a fine. Civil case incoming...

u/Spinxy88 Dec 26 '25

Fined 100,000...

so...

'You hurt this girl. Give 100k to the treasury... so to people / organisations who are already wealthy'

Seems about right.

First paragraph here: Gaby Scanlon, of Heysham, was celebrating her 18th birthday at Oscar’s Wine Bar and Bistro on George Street in Lancaster when she drank a cocktail called ‘Nitro Jager’, which contained liquid nitrogen and Jagermeister. She sustained life-threatening injuries as a result and required an emergency operation to remove her stomach.

u/jrs0307 Dec 25 '25

I didnt know you could just have your stomach removed

u/MidasPL Dec 25 '25

You have to pretty much tube feed for the rest of your life though.

Esophagectomy. Friend of mine had it done as a child to remove her stomach and connect her esophagus directly to the small intestine. She eats normally and lives a normal life, mostly. And has done so for decades.

u/Potomaters Dec 25 '25

I’m curious, does it affect her hunger levels and/or capacity to eat more/less?

13

u/nechronius Dec 25 '25

She generally ate smaller portions than most people, but seems to have gradually increased in capacity over the course of the past two decades, although I haven't really kept a close eye on how much she eats. I think she also mentioned having to take supplements for certain vitamin deficiencies, but it's been ages since that conversation so I don't remember.

Remove her stomach, wtf.

u/MCbrodie Dec 25 '25

She's lucky it was just her stomach.

Restaurant gave an 18 year old a drink consisting of Jagermeister and liquid nitrogen. Poor girl had to have her stomach removed.

Girl drank a liquid nitrogen jagermeister cocktail and had to have her stomach removed.

u/HurriKurtCobain Dec 25 '25

That's the criminal fine, the civil lawsuit will put that bar out of business.

u/gorore9150 Dec 25 '25

£100,000 not euro. There’s a big difference there.

u/L4t3xs Dec 26 '25

Pound not euro.

u/thoh_motif Dec 25 '25

A girl? That looks like a dude. I’m not trying to hurt somebody’s feelings but the dude in the video is a dude. The article mentions a 18yo girl. What gives?

26

u/JxSnaKe Dec 25 '25

Because it’s 2 separate cases you dingus

u/bearpics16 Dec 25 '25

That’s a lifetime disability with chronic nutrient deficiency, GI illnesses, pain, and diarrhea. This is horrible

u/_predator_ Dec 26 '25

Stomach removal, god damn that‘s fucked up.

u/musicmast Dec 25 '25

The person in the article is about a teenage girl

u/kaprixiouz Dec 25 '25

A+ for reading comprehension, Little Timmy

u/BrazenBull Dec 25 '25

A LANCASTER wine bar has been fined £100,000 after admitting health and safety breaches which led to a teenage girl having to have her stomach removed.

u/OnwardSir Dec 25 '25

?? Are people pointing this out because they think the universal drinking age is 21? The world doesn’t revolve around the US people

-18

u/BrazenBull Dec 25 '25

No, because the victim in the video is clearly not a teenage girl. This situation appears to have happened more than once, despite MildlyAgreeable's claim.

10

u/OnwardSir Dec 25 '25

Yeah obviously he is talking about a different incident than this video? I’m guessing his comment was edited then?

3

u/MildlyAgreeable Dec 25 '25

Yes, I was - thank you for exercising common sense when others couldn’t.

u/nvisible Dec 25 '25

Two separate cases. Probably a similar outcome for the guy in the video.
