UK: MPs debate liquid nitrogen ban

(TheDrinksBusiness) - MPs have debated a ban in using liquid nitrogen in drinks following the serious injury to an 18-year-old girl who drank a cocktail containing the ingredient.
The adjournment debate took place in the House of Commons at the end of last week after being tabled by David Morris MP for Morecambe and Lunesdale. Morris is the MP of Gaby Scanlon, the girl whose stomach was removed after she drank a “nitro Jagemister” cocktail that contained liquid nitrogen.
Morris told the Commons: “Nitrogen boils at minus 196° centigrade, making it very dangerous in liquid form. The idea that someone could drink a cocktail that contains an ingredient that is minus 196° centigrade is obviously dangerous and must stop.
