Thanks for the warning, Tog! Indeed this is not a joke, but read attached article regarding Durian in general,
including the Durian-alcohol controversy.
Notable quotes from the article:
- "A common Malaysian belief is that it is harmful to drink alcohol after consuming durians."
- "It should be noted that deaths or maladies apparently do occasionally occur due to durians, but usually from being struck by one of these large spiny fruits as it falls from a tree, rather than by ingestion (Craig 1973)."
Here's the best!
- "
an often quoted Malay saying states ‘When the durians come down, the sarongs go up’." (WOO-WHOOO!)
