Seven foreign tourists, including an American, were hospitalized in Fiji after drinking cocktails at a resort bar, Fijian authorities said on Monday, just weeks after six tourists died of suspected alcohol poisoning in a separate incident in Laos.
All seven were taken to hospital on Saturday night suffering from "nausea, vomiting and neurological symptoms," according to Fiji's health ministry.
They fell ill after drinking pina colada cocktails prepared at a bar in the five-star Warwick Fiji resort on the Coral Coast, about 45 miles west of the capital Suva, officials said.
A health ministry spokesperson said the seven guests, aged from 18 to 56, included four Australians, one American and two others whose nationalities were not given.

staying at the classic old El Rancho Motel. Bar wouldn't make pina coladas for us. just weird, they weren't on their (corporate food service?) menu so they just wouldn't make them.
I get that they aren't so cool anymore, not a fucking herb-laced fake martini with an edible flower decoration but we were in a retro hotel and we had had them there before (admittedly more than 10 years ago, but still...)
and this is with drinks on the menu that had the right ingredients. how hard is it to throw some coconut flavored something in with rum and pineapple juice? 
customer wasn't right in that bar.
